FHA MANAGEMENT CALLS FOR SUBMISSION OF COMMERCIAL APPROVAL FOR BUILDING PLANS IN FCT ESTATES

The Management of Federal Housing Authority hereby calls on all owners of commercial properties in FHA Estates in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory to submit their approved building plans to the office of the Managing Director and Chief Executive, at the Authority’s head office, No 26 Julius Nyerere Cresent, Asokoro Abuja from Wednesday, April 3rd, 2025.
This directive which covers all buildings irrespective of when the approval was given, has become expedient following Management's discovery that most commercial outlets in these Estates are built without approvals, or developed outside the granted approval. Management has also discovered that some commercial buildings are in contravention of the approval granted them for alteration, in total contravention and disregard to Development Control regulations.
Following the dangers posed by this development, the Management of FHA would not fold its hand to allow this looming disaster to happen. It is to avert the ugly incidence of building collapse that the Authority carried out a controlled demolition exercise of one of its buildings with structural defect on Monday, 24th March. 2025 in 5th Avenue. Gwarinpa estate.
Consequently, all owners of commercial outlets: hotels, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, banks, shopping malls etc through this announcement are requested to submit their building approved plans for re - validation. All such buildings must undergo an integrity test.
Strict compliance to this directive is not negotiable as severe sanctions await defaulters.
