Lagos State Government has warned prospective home buyers against patronising a real estate developer, House Height Limited.
The Lagos State Ministry of Housing said that HHL is not an agent of the State Government as earlier claimed by the company.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Housing, Engr. Abdulhafis Toriola issued the warning after a recent meeting with stakeholders.
Toriola advised prospective homeowners, particularly those in the diaspora, to refrain from transacting any business with the firm and its agents on any matter relating to Harmony Court along Command Road, Ipaja, Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA).
According to him, the Managing Director of House Height Limited, Mrs. Ngozi Elizabeth Ola-David, who is also known as Ngozi Elizabeth Phil-Ebosie, is not an agent or partner of the Lagos State Government.
“As such, she has not been appointed to deal with anyone on behalf of the Lagos State Government in respect of three-bedroom apartments at Harmony Estate,” he said.
“Any claim by anyone that he or she is an appointed agent by the Ministry is false and should be disregarded.”
He further revealed that the erstwhile partnership between the State Government and House Height Limited has been terminated.
Toriola pointed out that the deal was terminated due to non-performance in line with the terms and conditions of the contractual agreement.
He called on the general public to, therefore, disregard the purported claim of ownership by House Height Limited.
“Anyone who deals with the firm or its agents or buys a home from her in violation of this warning does so at his or her own risk,” he warned.
The Director of Legal Services, Lagos State Ministry of Housing, Mrs. Bukade Idowu-Koya advised that anyone interested in the Homes should contact the office of the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Housing, Block 3, Second Floor, Secretariat, Alausa-Ikeja.
