FCT Begins Sale Of 102 Houses

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has opened the sale of 102 units of the low-income houses located at Karshi, a satellite town in the FCT in Abuja.

FCTA however warned against favouritism in the balloting and allocation to subscribers.

The houses which are sold to staff members include 10 units of three bedroom bungalows, 32 units of two bedroom flats, 56 units of single bedroom and four self-contained apartments at the rate of 3.3million naira , 1.9million naira, 1.6million naira and 1.4million  naira respectively.

The FCT Minister of State, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe who flagged off the sale of the houses built at over 200million naira disclosed that the proceeds would be ploughed back into the construction of more low-income houses and other social infrastructure for the workers in the territory.

He said that the FCT administration was also collaborating with other investors through the Public, Private Partnership (PPP) initiative in order to embark on a massive construction of affordable houses for all FCT workers in the territory.

Senator Akpanudoedehe disclosed that some banks as well as other private investors had already expressed interest to key into the planned FCT programme for massive housing in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
