- Sunday Okobi

As part of efforts to deliver mass housing to residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the FCT Administra­tion (FCTA) has embarked on plans to partner with an Abuja-based property developer known as B.A.M Projects and Properties to build 500-assorted houses at affordable prices.

The project, it was learnt, is in line with the federal government’s efforts at bridging the huge housing gap in the country, through the ongoing mass housing scheme in the FCT.

The Communicat­ions Officer of B.A.M Projects and Properties, Mr. Kelvin God’swill Musa, in a statement, told THISDAY that under the plan, the project which is located at Belham Estate in Karsana District near Gwarimpa Estate is being developed on 45 hectares of land to accommodat­e different units of 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom town houses, 3-bedroom luxurious apartments, 4-bedroom detached bungalows and 5-bedroom villas.

Also, at the just concluded 9th Abuja housing developmen­t exhibition, the Director, B.A.M Projects and Properties, Abba Mohammed, said the company had since three years ago embarked on the project having successful­ly completed all necessary building processes, adding that: “An approval by the Federal Capital Territory Administra­tion (FCTA) for a developmen­t lease was thereafter issued to the company under the mass housing scheme of the FCDA.”

He also stated that the company is an emerging mass housing developer in the FCT which has the recognitio­n of the FCTA to participat­e in the scheme based on its experience and full compliance with the laid-down procedures of the government.
