Part of the announcement stated, “The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has formally revoked the conditional allocation offers for homes under the National Housing Program. This action applies to all beneficiaries who did not complete their payments within the initial 90-day timeframe plus an extra eight weeks of grace period provided.”
