FG to sell forfeited Emefiele’s 753 duplexes to Nigerians

Following President Bola Tinubu’s instruction, the EFCC seized the property, which had been connected to Emefiele in the past, in December 2024 and formally turned it over to the Ministry.

The Ministry would begin its technical assessments right away by performing integrity tests on the structures, Dangiwa said during the inspection.

Upon successful evaluation, the structures will be completed and made available for sale to Nigerians through the Renewed Hope Portal, which is already operational.

The Minister emphasised the Federal Government’s commitment to transparency and accountability, calling on public office holders to steer clear of corrupt practices.

“The government of the day is serious about fighting corruption,” he stated, while commending the EFCC and its leadership for what he described as a landmark recovery—one of the most significant in the nation’s history within such a short span of time.

Dangiwa also urged Nigerians to maintain trust in the EFCC and support its efforts toward achieving more recoveries for the benefit of the public.

Speaking at the event, EFCC’s Chairman Olukoyede clarified that what Nigerians had previously seen on television was merely an aerial view of the estate.
