As part of its efforts to address Nigeria’s housing shortfall, the Federal Government has committed to providing 80,000 homes for the citizens regardless of their social standing over the course of the next eight years.
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Mahmuda Mamman, disclosed this on the sidelines of the National Council on Lands, Housing and Urban Development in Kaduna on Monday.
According to Mamman, President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda was all about making a difference in all sectors of the country as well as the lives of the citizenry.
He also mentioned the ministry had submitted a memorandum that the president had approved, specifically regarding the social housing initiative.
“This is a policy whereby vulnerable persons in the country can afford to have a roof over their head thereby breaching the gap in the housing sector,” Mamman stated.
“This meeting being held in Kaduna would provide an avenue on how the states can queue in on how they can provide lands for us to build these houses.
“The houses are about 80,000 and the affordability varies but the houses would be built for all Nigerians irrespective of their classes or level of income strata.”
