Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa says, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu plans to build 50,000 housing units across the country to create jobs, uplift lives, and boost economic development.
The minister stated this yesterday in Lafia at the ground-breaking of the 250-housing unit Renewed Hope Estate in Nasarawa, adding that the ceremony is a continuation of the nationwide groundbreaking exercise that President Tinubu had launched early this year in Karsana, Abuja with 3,112 housing units.
According to the minister “Under phase one of this programme, we plan to deliver a total of 50,000 housing units across Nigeria. This includes 7 Renewed Hope Cities that will have between 500 and 1,000 housing units per site in each of the six geo-political zones in the country and the FCT, while the Renewed Hope estate will have 250 units per site in the remaining 30 states.
“With this housing programme, we plan to unlock the massive potentials of housing development to create jobs, uplift lives, and boost economic development. This is in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President to stimulate inclusive growth, lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty, and build a $1 trillion economy”, he said.
