“If you think you can defraud Nigerians and get away with it, you are mistaken.”
The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa at the weekend issued a strong warning to real estate developers who engage in the construction of substandard projects and other fraudulent practices to desist from such behaviour or face the wrath of the law.
This was as the minister reiterated the resolve of the ministry to ensure that developers construct houses in line with laid down laws and regulations and prevent fraudulent practices in the sector.
A statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the minister, Mr Mark Chieshe, said Dangiwa was speaking at the commissioning of De Mayor’s Estate and the flag-off of Project Broadfield in Abuja.
Dangiwa cautioned against the use of substandard building materials as well as unethical practices, warning that those who fail to build within stipulated guidelines will be prosecuted.
He also warned those who collect money from unsuspecting Nigerians only to turn around and deliver substandard projects, stating that the days of cutting corners were over.
“I want to warn all developers, and I advise them to see this as the final warning that they will get. The days of cutting corners in the housing sector are over. If you think you can defraud Nigerians of their hard-earned money and get away with it in this present time, you are mistaken.
“For those who collect money from beneficiaries and, at the end of the day, fail to deliver and dupe ordinary Nigerians who simply want a decent place to call home, the law will soon catch up with you. Stop doing it because the days are over for such practices,” he said.
