Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has ordered the shutdown of the Secretariat for the now-defunct Ad-Hoc Committee on the Sale of Federal Government Houses (SFGH) in Abuja. This decision was announced in a statement on Wednesday by Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka. The closure is set to take effect immediately.
The public has been warned to be cautious of scams perpetrated by individuals pretending to be members of the defunct SFGH committee and its Secretariat. Land and housing acquisitions are on the rise in Nigeria's capital, with the FCT Administration and area councils frequently involved in related matters. This year, Vice President Kashim Shettima unveiled several housing units built by the FCTA for judges of the Court of Appeal and Federal High Courts.
In 2025, the Federal Government unveiled a uniform pricing policy for housing units under the Renewed Hope Estate Programme, which aims to provide at least 1,000 housing units per site in each of the six geopolitical zones of the country, including the FCT. Additionally, the Renewed Hope Estates initiative plans to offer a minimum of 500 housing units per site in the remaining 30 states of the federation.
