Mshel Homes Hutu Exclusive N-Trillion Golf Resort Estate in Abuja, sets a new standard for luxury living in Nigeria.

Mshel Homes Limited has formally commissioned its flagship Mshel Hutu Exclusive Golf Resort Estate in Abuja, unveiling world class recreational and lifestyle facilities the company says will set a new benchmark for integrated luxury community living in Nigeria.


The Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Mshel Homes, Arc. Barka Umaru Mshelia disclosed this at the commissioning ceremony, describing the estate as the product of a long held vision to combine quality housing with world class infrastructure under a “live, play and relax” concept.

Facilities include a nine hole golf course, a sports complex with ten areas, an Olympic sized swimming pool, a 2.7-kilometre road network, a seven-bedroom maisonette, a clubhouse, an estate fountain, and courts for various sports.


Mshelia said more than ten blocks of apartment buildings are already standing within the estate and under construction for subscribers, a development he linked to rising demand for the project.

“Our idea for Mshel Hutu Exclusive is to create a community where people enjoy their best lives,” he said.
Land acquisition was “daunting” Mshelia.

Recounting the project’s early days, the Mshel Homes boss said acquiring the expansive land was the most difficult phase, citing demolition exercises by the Area Council, financial constraints, and other obstacles. Upon visiting the site, his partner highlighted its enormous potential and proposed a collaboration, though he initially hesitated due to the land’s size and price, which was only 10 per cent of its value at the time.


Despite the setbacks, he said the company completed the first phase of amenities within six months, which included key infrastructure and residential blocks. He attributed this to resilience, teamwork, and the commitment of the construction crew, including Engineer Evans, along with development partners and investors.

He explained that the name “Hutu” was drawn from the Hausa word for “rest,” reflecting the company’s ambition to build a serene, resort-style environment where residents can live, work, play and unwind.
“This project did not come without challenges. But when you remain focused, committed, and put everything in the hands of God, there is no height you cannot attain,” Mshelia said, adding that the current rollout is only the first of several planned phases.


He commended his wife for her support through the project and said glowing testimonials from clients, including a prospective resident based in the United Kingdom who relocated after seeing the estate, had strengthened confidence in the company’s vision.


MoFI raises N250bn for affordable mortgages.
Also speaking at the event, the National Coordinator of the Ministry of Finance Incorporated Real Estate Investment Fund (MREIF) and Executive Director at MoFI, Mr Sani Yakubu, said the Federal Government has raised N250 billion under its N1 trillion Mortgage and Housing Support Programme, which was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2025.

Yakubu said the fund has financed roughly 2,000 mortgages across the country, with monthly disbursements averaging N10 billion, and disclosed that N100 billion of the fund is listed on the Nigerian Exchange.

He said the intervention had earned a Triple-A rating from Agusto & Co. and a Double, A rating from GCR, which he described as evidence of strong governance and investor confidence.

“The interest rate is 9.75 per cent, not 10, 12, 15, 24, or 25 per cent. Applicants must make only a ten per cent equity contribution, and mortgages are available for up to 20 years,” Yakubu said.


According to him, the N250 billion tranche includes N150 billion from the Federal Government and N100 billion invested by 22 financial institutions, comprising 11 commercial banks and 10 mortgage banks.

He urged prospective homeowners to visit mreif.com.ng to access the platform, describing the Ministry’s presence at the event as twofold: celebrating Nigerian entrepreneurship and raising awareness of affordable mortgage financing options.


Investor hails transformation of estate.
An investor in the project, identified simply as Emmanuel, described the transformation of the site as remarkable, recalling that the estate had no proper access road in its early stages.

“There was no access road. He turned this place into what we see today. I advise anyone interested to commit before the project reaches its full potential,” he said.

Mshelia, in his closing remarks, assured subscribers that the estate would continue to expand across several planned phases, with additional facilities and housing to be introduced in future stages. He described the current rollout as a foundation for a much larger vision still to come.
