Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged estate developers to adhere to regulatory standards, maintain professionalism in title documentation, and ensure quality construction and estate management.
Mr Shettima made the call at the groundbreaking of Summit Estate Global in Apo Dutse, Abuja, on Saturday. The project was organised by Summit Estate Global Ltd. and Homadil Realty Ltd.
The vice president, represented by his senior special assistant on legal and compliance, Bashir Maidugu, described the project as a vision anchored on structured urban growth, responsible investment, and modern community living in the Federal Capital Territory.
“Real estate development requires not only capital but also patience, discipline, regulatory compliance, and confidence in the future. Summit Estate Global stands as evidence of that confidence.
“Abuja continues to evolve as a dynamic capital city, not merely the seat of government, but a centre of commerce, diplomacy, and innovation.
“Planned estates such as this reduce pressure on overstate districts, encourage organised land use, and enhance the overall aesthetics and functional profile of the city.
“I therefore encourage the developers to adhere to regulatory standards and maintain the highest levels of professionalism in title documentation, construction quality, and estate management,” Mr Shettima said.
Mr Shettima stressed that housing remained fundamental to national stability, noting that the federal government reforms were strengthening fiscal stability, improving the investment climate, and unlocking productive sectors, including construction and real estate.
“The Federal Government remains committed to creating an enabling environment for responsible private sector participation in infrastructure and housing development,” he said.
Also speaking, the chief executive officer of Homadil Realty Ltd., Rebecca Godwin-Isaac, described the project as a reflection of innovation, quality, and commitment to premium housing delivery in the territory.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) under the able leadership of the minister, Nyesom Wike, for his vision, drive, and steadfast commitment to the development of FCT.
“We also extend our profound gratitude to President Tinubu, our visionary leader and father. Under your leadership, Nigeria has witnessed unprecedented growth, particularly within the FCT,” she said.
Meanwhile, representatives of partner construction firms, such as the chief executive officer of J.I Construct Ltd., Issac Yusuf, and others pledged adherence to quality and regulatory requirements.
