A firm, Kairos Hof Consultants Ltd, has unveiled plans to provide affordable homes for young Nigerians, saying that the youth are not well captured in the housing structure of the country.


The Managing Director/CEO of Kairos Hof Consultants Limited, Mr Olagoke Fagbohun, disclosed this in Abuja, on Tuesday, at a news conference to unveil the plan of the building consulting firm named as "Z-Korting Project".


The Managing Director said that the firm would commence the housing unit with
17 block of five story buildings with an approximate of a 100 plus apartment.


He said that the target was geared towards meeting up yearning demand of young Nigerians who occupy 60 per cent of the country's populations.


“In terms of deliverables, first of all, we are starting with 17 blocks for the first cluster. 17 blocks of five story buildings providing approximately a 100 plus apartment so that we can launch the first phase of this project and meet up with our demand.


“Secondly, we need media support to enlighten people about this, we can only do that with the collaboration of media houses.


“In terms of making sure people enjoy the quality of what we intend to provide, the simple thing to do is to make sure the information is out there, and what this means is that we are going to do a lot of publicity about it,” he said.


Fagbohun said that the Z-Korting Project was targeted at young fresh minds and would be built in Idu, Karmo, Jahi and Cafe City, Gwarinpa respectively.


Director, Business Development and ICT-Kairos Hof Consultants, Ojehomon Anetor, said, Kairo Soft is a Dutch-Nigerian company invested in real estate and energy in both Nigeria and in the Netherlands.


He said that the firm had been able to design a concept that fits the cultural values of the country in terms of housing matters based on its experience of what its looks like outside Nigeria.


“From our experience of what housing looks like outside Nigeria, we have been able to design a concept that fits our cultural values. We have gotten a clear concept that gives an understanding of housing issue and what you need to provide for your client.


“The system of housing issue in abroad is quite different from what we currently have here in Nigeria. We want to make sure that whoever is buying a house, is buying a house that gives them the right type of comfort and support that they need to exist, live, work, eat and play in one space,” Anetor said.


He stated that the stress and difficulties in securing housing had made so many couples to reduce the number of children they plan to have, a situation he said it was different during the period of our parents and great grand parents.
