I have said this before, most of those unoccupied houses could be storage houses for ill gotten wealth

modelmike7:
The government should do something about this before it gets out of hands.

Houses are too expensive in Abuja
Government should regulate it
At times i wonder what is in abuja that make houses so expensive

demoBaba:
Apart from buying estate house in Abuja, use still needs to be paying roughly 1.5m to 2m yearly for facility maintenance. Very bad.


But thank God I don pot to Nasarawa where I build 3 bedrooms with BQ, Abuja accommodation waihala is NO NO for me.

Honestly
The prices are ridiculous
It doesn't just make sense
Same pay for civil servants throughout d federation, why do we have houses and land with outrageous prices in fct? Even when u have money to build house in abuja, only price of land will gulp the money.

symbianDON:
in my opinion, unoccupied houses that are confirmed to have been bought should be confiscated by government. if the rich thieves won't live in them, local man can!

��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️

modelmike7:

They have forgotten that this is no more the era of the looting party PDP, that stolen and looting money was flying everywhere, looted by politicians and civil servants.
It is time for change.

true!
Long time, mike.

Fallenhunter:
Start charging an unoccupied property tax, this will cause developers to quickly look for tenants and will cause rental prices to drop

If they do that one... It will b the end user that will end up paying all the tax cos the owner will add every tax he or she paid with interest when a buyer or renter comes by

Tokziby:
When a certain CJN forgot to declare 52 houses in his asset declaration form. Why won't there be vacant houses when majority of them are from prominent civil servants and politicians... Mtcheeeewww

Ode, it was four houses he owned, one built by federal government. It was EFFCC'S media trial that introduced 55 houses.

Am not defending anybody but let's all learn to be factual and reasonable.

They won't be able to because the people who are already renting won't add that cost and if the people with empty houses start charging high rents because of adding these costs, they won't get renters. In the end market economics will prevent these kind of tactics.

Naive

They used Citizen money to build those house, it's either they reduce the price or those house will remain like that forever.

Florblu:
Not only in Abuja do we have unoccupied houses, even in Lagos. There are some streets you ply in Ikoyi at night and no reflection of night whatsoever will be seen coming from the house aside an Aboki flashing torch randomly.

Even if the owners are not in the country, they can rent it out or gift homeless people roaming about in the state.

Most of those houses in Ikoyi are where the siphoned money are buried and other gross acts are carried out in them

Some houses in Lagos are bad omen. You move-in employed with households accessories and cars, by the time you're moving out, you'd be left with nothing to show except loss of job, unexplained sickness even to the point of death.

Put a heavy tax on unoccupied houses, just as the UN official adviced.

One of the way to end this is to tax those houses.

This is truly a Rampant trend. But your affordable computers in Abuja from affordable Technology

i can help them to occupy some of the houses If they want, there are Alot of homeless people out there looking for were to stay... but greed and selfishness coupled with wickedness will not allow them to help those who need shelter... i weep for Nigeria.

naijadrivablog:
That is what the government should tax and not the poor masses.


There are many unoccupied estates and buildings and most are where and how corrupt politicians hide their loot.
From Asokoro to Gwarinpa, to APO and environs, to Dutse-Kubwa axis etc, these estates are littered all over Abuja.

There is, for example, a plaza that has not been rented for over 20yrs and the owner is a politician. If it was built from his "sweat",.he couldn't afford to lose over 20yrs rent.

Imagine 2o freaking years

Na wah for this generation... Smh

Unrealistic expectations.

Everyone likes to call "millions"

But after they call finish, make dem come collect money na. A few people had placed their houses for sale in Abuja with no serious buyers in sight.
Some deluded folks brag that their houses are worth X millions until they try to sell. Na the agent go carry him hand give up.

Majority of those estates and houses are owned by politicians and looters of our treasury that explain why they don't care about the condition of those properties.

if you build houses and you don't allow human beings to live there, won't lizards, reptiles, rats, cockroaches, termites , ants, wild birds and other animals be living there?

no wonder some people say that Nigeria is a zoo!! I don't know if its true, but where are the ZOO KEEPERS?

Like that USA ambassador to Nigeria suggested, we need landed property tax as soon as possible. This is the area government needs to focus on to raise money to fund their budget, not chasing yahoo boiz up and down.

But I don't look forward to it to happen anytime soon, because anything that affects the rich is a tall order in this country.

mamanotinspoil3:
It's a simple something. Just declare that all unoccupied houses will be taken over by government and rented out to low income earners. Within 6 months, rent will come down and all the houses will be occupied... Too much sense wee nor kill me

The owners will challenge that in the law court you know? I still believe the government can do something about it.
So many unoccupied houses littering everywhere in Abuja.

Nasarawa is closer.
From Masaka to AYA is roughly 30mins if no hold up.

Lands in Masaka are cheap.

But there are places u can get same price range land in abuja, but far from city center
