President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan has suggested the amendment of the Land Use Act of 1978 to address the problems of housing deficit in the country.

Lawan said this in Abuja on Monday at the 13th Abuja International Housing Show with the theme: ”Driving Sustainable Housing Finance Models in the Midst of Global Uncertainties”.

“I am aware that there are critical areas that require legislative intervention such as the land use act, the National Housing Fund, housing regulation, and many more enabling policies.

“It is in my agenda to see to it that all policies required to get us closer to our collective dreams are achieved,” he said.
Represented by Sen. Ashiru Oyelola, Lawan said that the show would be used to dialogue on developing issues.
He said it would be used to fashion out ways to work as a team of collaborators and proffer sustainable solutions that will improve the quantity and quality of housing delivery.

“It is indeed remarkable to have a platform like this for all major stakeholders in housing and construction to dialogue on developing issues and fashion out ways to work as a team.

“This will help the country proffer sustainable solutions that will improve the quantity and quality of housing delivery,” he said.
According to him, there is no better time for the country to move faster in its ambition to provide decent shelter for everyone.
`It is indeed a core mandate for us to deal with one of man’s greatest needs with the urgency and competence that it requires.
“As the Senate President, I recognise the importance of housing, and even more so, the ability of forums such as this to influence housing policies.

“There is a lot for everyone to take from a forum of this magnitude in order to contribute qualitatively to whatever our stakes are in the sub sector,” he noted.

The Managing Director of the show, Mr Festus Adebayo, reminded the audience that Abuja International Housing Show was not a talk show.
“We are here to use this medium to proffer practical solutions to familiar problems, with far reaching effects across the continent,” he said.
Adebayo said that the project was out to realise a housing sector that would not only shelter man, but contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), provide jobs and economic opportunities.

He said that the show would open doors of opportunities for developers, mortgage banks, investors and governments to access alternative and cheap finances for housing and construction projects.

“From previous experiences, developers and investors have been able to key into numerous funding options that are presented at the show,” he said.

Adebayo said that the previous shows were able to attract the right local and global audience with competitive value and substance.
Chairman on the occasion Ibrahim Bunu, former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, said that assembling local and international stakeholders of repute to deliberate on the way forward for the critical sub-sector of the economy was no mean feat.

He said: “the global housing market including Nigeria is in desperate need of new ideas and alternatives to financing housing development.
“I am aware that recommendations from previous shows have greatly influenced housing legislation, innovations, and served as a platform to call relevant stakeholders to action.

“ I am confident that this event will demystify the barriers and suggest the most sustainable and practical approaches to a robust housing sector that not only provides shelter, but jobs and economic opportunities,’’ he said.

In fact if anything the land should be vest ed on individuals and not state government. I know he wu want to twist it so that land regulations can be vested on the FG. That is legislative approach to RUGA

Stupid man! All is subtly tilt towards RUGA.

See this abokii and his warped sense!!!! Rugs and cattle colony kee u there

You go first amend your ways before amending our land use act. Otoro gbagbuegi indi ala

Ruga on my mind
That is one of the many reasons you are planted there,i know and I am sure so many Nigerians know too.
But sir we are waiting for you.
I promise you, its going to meet stiff resistance and might cost you that position.
Be WARNED

Can someone marry this.
Its now making a lot of sense
This pig is talking land use act amendments and CBN is talk cow ,milk and herders settlement.
You see the point

RUGA Agenda!

Nigerians beware!

SATANIC GOVERNMENT......



DEAD ON ARRIVAL.

Fulani taking us for a ride.

These people no get any real plan for this country why don’t we bond together and revolution them out

Ruga and more ruga! They finished importing fulani mercenaries and training herdsmen on ground to harass n brutalise Nigerian citizens if 2015 didn't go their way now they want to settle them with our common, traditional and ancestral heritage through any means possible because they can no longer contain them. God punish all of una!
Housing ko! Ruga ni!

RUGA is coming what a pity.

If only they stopped at giving individuals landownership rights. How land is transfered can be worked out by state. It would solve the dead capital issue and give banks a reason to lend if land is collateral.

These people think we are fools. If you need a land for housing, there federal housing estates all over Nigeria built without the amendment of Land Use act.

We know your plans and it's dead on arrival

They have shift to amendment of land use act.
If it is deliberated at th floor of the National Assembly you will some of our southern senators and representative telling us that they are loyal to the party but when it affect the North, those ones are only loyal to their tribe.
We dey wait..........

Taa! Nonsense. They should focus on amending the fraudulent 1999 constitution instead.

Amend your salary structures, not land use act



Drabeey was Here

Buhari's pun

lol

lol

These northern animals are still deadbeat about this RUGA issue. It’s a shame that there is no check and balances in the Nigerian government since they already hijacked the senate!

All APC supporters should enjoy the NEXT LEVEL their zombie leader gave them! Buhari wants to settle his goons they imported from outside the country for elections.. He gave them over 100 billion and they still want more! They want our ancestral lands so they can take over completely!!

psucc:
In fact if anything the land should be vest ed on individuals and not state government. I know he wu want to twist it so that land regulations can be vested on the FG. That is legislative approach to RUGA

God bless you.

Story!
You want to amend it and discreetly add a clause where the FG can own lands thereby making it easier for the FG the grab people's lands without asking.

Imagine if the FG was in control of lands in Nigeria, this RUGA talk would have been done and dusted.

Nonsense. RUGA policy through the back door.

Rubber stamp Senate.

Saraki is more tough and agile than this lawan.

Nonsense

You want Omo Onile to Kill you abi?
