The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, and the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, jointly inspected a confiscated 753 units housing estate comprising 753 units, previously owned by former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
The estate, located in Abuja, was recovered by the EFCC and officially handed over to the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development in line with a directive from President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during the inspection on Wednesday, Dangiwa disclosed that the ministry would immediately commence technical assessments by conducting integrity tests on the buildings.
He noted that upon successful evaluation, the housing units will be completed and made available for purchase by Nigerians through the Renewed Hope Housing Portal, which is already active.
“The government of the day is serious about fighting corruption. This recovery is a landmark achievement—one of the most significant in the country’s recent history within such a short time. It reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and ensuring that national assets serve the Nigerian people,” Dangiwa said.
He further urged public office holders to shun corrupt practices and called on Nigerians to continue to support the EFCC in its mission to recover looted assets for public benefit.
