The urbanization has 100 percent completed standard infrastructure of road drainage, external water distribution network, electricity reticulation, perimeter fence, water stations and other facilities conducive to habitation.
“This is a mixed development community. In fact, it is a community because it not only has the houses that are in one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom condominiums, as well as the three-bedroom townhouses.
“They are having a proper installation. He was happy to see that even the 3-bedroom terrace houses had private bathrooms.
” It is not common to have houses that are all with bathroom, obviously it offers more comforts for the residents and also when they have visitors and guests.
“These are affordable homes. So for you to have such affordable buildings, the authority is really worth praising,” El-Yakub said.
The Nigerian News Agency reports that the Bwari project was conceived as part of the Federal Government's Economic Sustainability Plan and stands at 375 hectares to be completed in detached phases by March 2022.
The first phase covers 54 hectares for residential, commercial, educational, religious, special units and other support facilities. There will be 337 units of one, two, three and three-bedroom townhomes.
Praising the Bwari project, El-Yakub said the contractors had reached an appreciable level of construction, adding that it was another example of how infrastructure was impacting the economy.
” This site has 72 on-site contractors ranging from those who do the installations to the infrastructure and services for the building itself. And each side has hired direct jobs of about 3,500 people and, of course, a lot of indirect jobs.
“So this is one of those significant impacts of the delivery on the infrastructure, it's not just delivering the affordable housing scheme for Nigerians, but of course what goes into the project as we deliver it.
“So this is the Buhari Administration doing what it is best known for, delivering infrastructure for the development of Nigeria, Nigerians and the prosperity of the people,” the minister said.
Also speaking at the project visit, FHA Managing Director Senator Gbenga Ashafa was optimistic that the first phase of the project would be delivered within the projected 48 months for completion.
“All things being equal, we have given this project 48 months to be delivered, that is, 2024, sectors 1 and 2 must be delivered, that means that the 337 units must be ready by month 36.
"We hope we don't run into any official challenges because the buyers are there, this location is very close to the law school here in Bwari and it's very close to other educational institutions, like Jamb and the rest of them," Ashafa said. .(www.nuevo.ng)PUO/IAA

FCT Minister, Alhaji Muhammad Bello, and the Federal Housing Authority, have asked a High Court to dismiss a suit challenging an illegal demolition of the residence of Abuja socialite, Joseph Kpokpogri.
Other Defendants in the suit are the Federal Capital Territory Administration and the Federal Capital Development Authority, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council and the Attorney-General of the Federation.
The Minister, alongside the Federal Housing Authority, FHA, through their lawyer, Dr Mubarak Adekilekan, maintained that the court was bereft of the jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
The defendants contended that the suit was filed “by a lawyer not known to law”.
According to them, Ozekhome, was the name on the seal of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, that was affixed on all the court processes, a search at the Supreme Court disclosed that such name does not exist in the nominal roll of lawyers.
Besides, the defendants, contended that the plaintiff, Kpokpogri, whose house was demolished, failed to disclose any reasonable cause of action to warrant the exercise of the court’s discretion in his favour.
Consequently, they prayed the court to dismiss the suit.
However, counsel for the plaintiff, Dr Benson Igbanoi, noted that the suit was originally fixed for the court to hear a motion his client filed for interlocutory injunctions against the defendants.
Igbanoi said he was surprised that though the defendants filed the objection since August 12, they waited till last Friday to serve same on his client.
He alleged that the defendants are deliberately frustrating the hearing of the suit, the plaintiff’s lawyer, urged the court to proceed with the business of the day.

The court had on July 15, extended its order that restrained the FCT Minister from completely demolishing Kpokpogri’s residence.
The injunctive order followed an ex-parte application the plaintiff who is a former lover of popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, filed through his team of lawyers led by Ozekhome.
Justice Agbaza held that the order would subsist until the hearing and determination of the suit before the court.
Ozekhome, had told the court that some persons from the Federal Capital Development Authority, FCDA, had on May 14, invaded his client’s residence, “accompanied by a multitude of heavily armed policemen and bulldozers and excavators”, and commenced the demolition of his house, beginning with the boys quarters.
He told the court that agents of the FCDA threatened to return for total demolition of Kpokpogri’s house, even though they failed to give any reason for their action.
Ozekhome, SAN, begged the court to intervene in the matter, in the interest of justice.
Specifically, the court, issued an order of interim injunction restraining the defendants from trespassing on or further trespassing on, demolishing, or further demolishing the property known as Plots 203 and 204, 27 Road, Gusape District, Apo Estate, Abuja.
The plot is said to be covered by letters of allocation issued by the Federal Housing Authority with Ref. No. .
203 and Ref. No. .
204.
The order also restrained the defendants from evicting the occupants of the said property or in any way interfering with the plaintiff’s exclusive right of possession of the said property pending the determination of the suit.

According to him, the exercise seeks to provide eye care services to members of the community who cannot afford medical treatment for their eyes.
He explained that the exercise involved services, such as free eye screening and the provision of eyeglasses and eye drops to those that need them.
Similarly, Mr Joseph Abu, President of Rotary club Abuja Lugbe FHA said,” we did assessments and we discovered that there was no eye clinic within the reach of the members of the community.

So we reached out to professionals and other partners who came together to provide the eye screening to members of the community.
Also, Dr Goddy Nnadi, District Governor of Rotary International District 9125, recalled that the club had previously installed a borehole for members of the Dakibiu community.

The Managing Director, Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Sen. Gbenga Ashafa, says provision of adequate security of life and property is a key factor for consideration in construction of FHA estates nationwide.
Ashafa said this at the inauguration and handover of a Police Post donated to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command Lugbe by the FHA on Wednesday, in Abuja.
According to him, the Police Post is the fulfillment of the promise the authority made to the Police earlier that they would be relocated to a befitting place and that the authority does not joke about security issues.
Ashafa said that in spite of the spate of insecurity across the country, the authority’s estates nationwide were well secured, adding that the organisation did not take security for granted.
“The purpose of coming together is just to show the world that in whatever we do in terms of the provision of houses for the people who are citizens of Nigeria, here at FHA, we take security seriously.
“I will refer to the Police Post as the symbol of security for the entire Lugbe area.
This is not the only one that we have here; we have a police station that is fully equipped, and fully manned.
“This is just the FHA, and whether there is any threat to live anywhere, when you get to any of our estates, you will find out that it is well secured through partnerships with all the law enforcement agencies.
“As we are talking, it is not only the Nigeria police that we have this kind of relationship with.
“If you go to our estate in , about five blocks within that estate are being inhabited by security personnel to give the proper security and safety to the people as the case may be,’’ he said.
The FHA boss said this was a partnership toward delivering their Corporate Social Responsible (CSR) to the society in the area of security.
He urged all Nigerians to play their own role in ensuring a safe society, adding that the issue of security should not be left to the law enforcement agents alone.
Responding, the FCT Commissioner of Police, (CP) Mr Babaji Sunday, appreciated the management and staff of FHA for supporting the security agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari, and thanked the organisation for the gesture.
Sunday promised the immediate deployment of personnel to the post, and pledged that the facility would be judiciously used.
He was represented at the occasion by the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in charge of Operations, FCT Command, Mr Mode Bunza.

The Federal Housing Authourity (FHA) on Thursday warned the public against patronising land grabbers (popularly called Omo-Oniles) selling encroached parcels in Gowon Estate, Lagos State.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Alhaji Daud Oybanji, Community Development Association (CDA) Chairman, North, Gowon Estate, in an interview, had raised alarm over activities of land grabbers.
Oybanji told NAN the land grabbers were selling open spaces by Olorun Adaba Bus Stop inside the estate, on the portion where automobile mechanics were working.
He called for urgent help from FHA to prevent the land grabbers from “breaking the fence as it was done in Ejigbadero side of the estate”.
Oyebanji also complained of mechanics within the estate who had refused to use designated land for them but were encroaching on walkways and road
He said they were, thereby, damaging the infrastructure with their operations.
Responding, FHA in a statement by its spokesman, Mr Kenneth Chigelu, said the issue was not reported to the authourity.
He, however, warned the public against falling victims to fruadsters illegally selling government land.
Chigelu said all land in the estate belonged to the Federal Government, so the public should not patronise land grabbers but visit the FHA office for all transactions.
“If they (land grabbers) don’t see buyers, they will stop selling.
Before land is legally acquired, a process of search must be undertaken to ascertain the genuity.
“For government land, valid allocation letters are given.
For family land, they are usually charted, to ensure they do not fall under government acquisition.
“Anybody illegally buying government land is only wasting resources and time, because government must eventually recover it.
“Even when developed, such illegal development risks demolition,” he said.
The spokesman said that FHA had already begun sanitising its estates and would soon extend its ongoing Lagos operations to Gowon Estate.
He said the authority had also started erecting sign posts in all its estates and lands starting from the South West.
Chigelu said that the exercise would be carried out throughout the nation.
‘Unfortunately, some of these land grabbers, in their desperate attempt to defraud have started tampering with them (signposts).
“FHA is using this medium to warn them to desist from such, because anybody caught would face the full wrath of the Federal Government,” he said.
Chigelu also appealed to residents of Gowon Estate and other estates across the nation to pay ground rents for the authourity to be able to properly manage their infrastructure.
On the ongoing regeneration of FESTAC Town, Chigelu said FHA was working round the clock with stakeholders’ in a bid to resolve several issues.
“We are working with stakeholders, such as the FESTAC Town Residents Association.
“We started with the relocation of the mechanics and artisans, by relocating them to the site provided for them on the 6th Avenue.
“We are also trying to resolve the issues of illegal development around the 9th Avenue.
Like I said, the work is huge and we are equal to the task.
“We will keeping working until we get the result we want, which will be to the benefit of residents.
“As soon as we are done, we will be facing the other estates,” the spokesman.
said.
He said that the FHA was stepping up its Development Control efforts in the estates, to forestall further deterioration and illegal development.
“Our presence will be noticeable soon,” he said.
