One of the greatest needs of man is shelter. It is officially accepted that in Nigeria, the housing deficit is in the neighborhood of 17 million units and with the population growing at about 3.5 percent, immediate steps must be taken to tackle the problem and give Nigerians appropriate affordable housing.

To achieve this goal, APC will see to the emergence of one million housing units per annum both by direct social housing programmes and through support to private sector developers. To enhance this programme, land allocation, infrastructure support and cheaper credit will be pursued.

We believe that this programme will bring into place about 30 million jobs nationwide annually. The implementation will extend beyond residential homesteads to university hostels and barracks for uniformed services.

APC will conceive this programme to bring relief and comfort to individuals and families currently facing severe difficulties in their effort to meet the challenges of ever increasing rents and the pressure of some shylock landlords.
