The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola says 27 states have provided the ministry with land on which to build houses for the masses.
Fashola told newsmen in Lagos on Friday night that the government had to lay the structure and establish a system before calling for private participation in the housing sector.
He said that most of the building materials to be used would be sourced locally to fast-track growth and reduce unemployment.
“If we achieve what we are planning, we would have built a system; if it becomes enduring like the new pension scheme, the better. When acceptability has set in, the private sector can be called in,” he said, adding that the Federal Mortgage Bank would play a significant role in providing funds.
Fashola said the socio-cultural needs of each geopolitical zone would be considered in arriving at what architectural designs to choose for a particular town.
He said that the targeted group would be civil servants on levels eight to 15 and their contemporaries in the private sector who would spend an agreed number of years to pay for the houses.
According to the minister, once successfully established, it will be built on by successive administrations at all tiers of government and the private sector.

Better

This particular government is serious about bringing real development to Nigerians. I pray it succeeds.

It will be built on by successive administration by all tiers of govt. Foolis.h govt and idiotic ideology

Why this minister darkness hasn't been sacked is what I can't fathom. By his own words he has proven himself to be unserious.
No light or roads or houses.


Fashola the turncoat minister! Biting the rotten fingers that fed you!

Ekwensu kpokwaa Fashola Oku!

Press like if you agree!

Stupid minister-square peg in a round hole. Where're you gonna generate the money to build such houses in view of our lean national purse despite the so called generated funds? Majority don't even know how they will eat one square meal yet you think this is an achievement? Oh Nigeria what ailieth thee

I want to get this straight,

So all the noises are for nothing.

All this administration will do is to tell states to donate lands which 27 of them have already done, then "successive" governments will do the work.

Which one will this administration do?

What will d money budgeted for it in 2016 budget be used for? Since na "successive govts will work on it while states will donate lands.
