The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) says it will proceed with publication of names of all persons indebted to the agency in national newspapers if they don’t pay up.
The FHA issued the threat on Friday in a statement, saying the debtors have 21 days to save themselves from embarrassment of eviction from the property.
It said it has observed that some persons who have benefitted from federal housing scheme have reneged on the payment plan and terms of allocation.
The FHA management said the debts are owed by retired workers and other members of the general public, contrary to the repayment plans agreed on by both parties.
“The Management of the Federal Housing Authority has observed with dismay the huge amounts owed by various allottees of the Authority’s Housing Units and land allocations,” the statement read.
“Some of these debts cut across cadres of retired staff and the general public, and have been owed for many years, contrary to agreed repayment plans and initial terms of allocation.
“Consequently, notice is hereby given to all concerned allottees, to pay up in full, all amounts owed, or before 21 days from the date of this publication.

“Failure to comply with this notice will lead the Authority to publish the names of debtors in national newspapers, and proceed to take all necessary steps to revoke the affected housing units and land which will be subsequently re-allocated to interested members of the general public.”
The FHA, which is supervised by the ministry of works and housing, is involved in the execution of national housing programmes as approved by the federal government.
Gbenga Ashafa, senator representing Lagos east, is the current FHA managing director.
