Federal Government Launches Housing Fraud Reporting Portal: A New Era of Transparency in Nigerian Real Estate

For too long, fraudulent activities in the housing sector have left many Nigerians frustrated and helpless. From fake land sales to unapproved estate schemes, shady operators have exploited unsuspecting buyers and investors — damaging trust in the real estate industry.

But there’s good news.

The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (FMHUD), has officially launched the Housing Fraud Reporting Portal — a powerful digital platform designed to help Nigerians fight back against real estate fraud.

👉 Access the portal here: https://reports.fmhud.gov.ng

Why This Portal Matters
This isn’t just another government website — it’s a game-changer for accountability in real estate. With this platform, citizens can:

✅ Safely report fraudulent housing practices.
✅ Upload supporting documents and evidence.
✅ Track the progress of their complaints in real time.

The portal ensures that every complaint is reviewed by FMHUD in collaboration with:

Professional housing bodies

Law enforcement agencies

The judiciary

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)

This means cases won’t just “disappear” — there’s now a clear system for follow-up and justice.

Backed by the National Housing Policy

According to the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, this initiative aligns with the 2012 National Housing Policy, which emphasizes:

Stronger regulation of estate developers.

Certification of housing professionals.

Protection of citizens against fraudulent actors.

In short, this isn’t a one-off project — it’s part of a larger strategy to clean up Nigeria’s housing sector and restore confidence in real estate investments.

Alongside the Fraud Portal, the government also launched the Contract Performance and Compliance Project Monitoring System (CPCPMS), which provides:

🏗 Real-time monitoring of housing projects.
📑 Centralized project documents, bills, and certificates.
📊 Performance evaluations for contractors.

These tools strengthen transparency and accountability, ensuring that housing projects are delivered as promised.

What This Means for Homebuyers and Investors

For homebuyers, land investors, and families planning to own property, this new portal is a direct line of defense against fraudsters.

For estate developers and contractors, it means closer monitoring and higher standards of accountability.

The message is clear:
⚖ Fraudulent practices in real estate will no longer be tolerated — perpetrators will face the full weight of the law.
