Federal Housing Authority warns against fake Festac land offers, confirms exclusive allocation rights
The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has issued a public warning regarding fraudulent land sale offers in Festac, Lagos, affirming its exclusive authority in allocating land in the area.
The warning follows a purported offer letter from New Festac Property Development Company Ltd., demanding N49,151,645 for a residential plot and claiming a partnership with the FHA to issue title documents.
This announcement was made in a statement released by FHA management on Wednesday, where the authority denied any involvement in the offer, reiterating that it alone has the authority to allocate land in Festac, backed by a global Certificate of Occupancy from the Federal Government.
“The attention of the Management of Federal Housing Authority has been drawn to a provisional Offer Letter for the sale of a plot of land at New Festac Town Phase II District, Lagos, on the New Festac Property Development Company Ltd signed by one Simon Egodigwe, for the company’s Managing Director. The said provisional Offer letter is demanding for the sum of forty nine million, one hundred and fifty one thousand, six hundred and forty five Naira, for a residential plot measuring 651.178 square meters, to be made in favour of New Festac Property Development Company Ltd, into a Wema bank account,” the statement read in part.
It added, “For the records, Federal Housing Authority is the owner of the entire land in Festac Town, Lagos, for which it was issued a global Certificate of Occupancy by the Federal Government. This makes FHA the only authority that can issue a letter of allocation on any land in Festac Town.”
The FHA further emphasized that any legitimate land allocation in Festac would be formally issued and signed by the FHA’s Managing Director and Chief Executive.

The statement further clarified that while the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) entered into a partnership with New Festac Property Development Company Ltd. for the development of part of Festac Phase II, the project has not been finalized. Currently, only sand filling is ongoing at the site, with no formal agreements in place between the FHA and the company.
In this context, the FHA expressed concern over how New Festac Property Development Company Ltd. arrived at the land price being demanded from the public, as the total project cost is yet to be determined.
The Authority emphasized that it cannot verify the authenticity of the provisional offer letter circulating for the sale of land in Festac, advising the public to disregard the offer and refrain from engaging in any related transactions.
The FHA also reminded the public that it is the sole authority for issuing land allocation letters in its estates, with all such letters signed by its Managing Director and Chief Executive

Adron Homes Chairman Commends Oyo State’s Real Estate Reforms, Urges Policy Continuity
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Adron Group, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, KOF, has commended the Oyo State Government for its bold reforms in the real estate sector, describing the state as a land of “history, enterprise, and endless possibilities.”
Aare Adetola remarked while delivering a goodwill message titled “The Real Estate Called Oyo State” at the 2025 Oyo State Real Estate Conference, held in Ibadan.
The event, themed “Real Estate and Economic Development in Oyo State: Strategies for Success,” brought together top real estate developers, government officials, and investors to discuss strategies for improving housing delivery and driving economic growth in the state.
Organised by the Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Housing and Urban Development in collaboration with the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), the conference highlighted the need for policy stability, public-private partnerships, and innovation in real estate development.
In his address, the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transparency and investor confidence through the digitalisation of land records (OYOGIS), improved urban planning, and major infrastructure upgrades across the state.
He also cited the passage of the Oyo State Land Control and Administration Bill, 2023, and the establishment of the Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force as key reforms curbing land disputes and promoting sustainable property ownership. Ogundoyin praised major developers such as Adron Homes and MKH Properties for their role in boosting investor trust in the Oyo property market.
In his goodwill message, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking applauded the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, FNSE, for maintaining consistency in land policies and governance structures, which he said had continued to attract serious investors to Oyo State.
He recalled that Adron Homes made its foray into Ibadan nearly a decade ago based on the state’s stable policy environment, a decision that has since yielded impressive results. He, however, urged the state government and future administrations to ensure policy continuity, warning that inconsistency could derail the progress already achieved.
The conference ended with a collective resolve by stakeholders to deepen collaboration between the public and private sectors, strengthen regulatory transparency, and create a business environment that will make Oyo State a model for real estate investment in Nigeria.
