President Muhammadu Buhari has promised that his administration will build 5,000 houses in every state for public workers every year over the next three years.

The assurance was made monday during the ground breaking ceremony of Nigeria’s first civil servants housing estate in Apo Extension, Abuja under the Federal Integrated Staff Housing (FISH) programme.

Buhari, who was represented at the occasion by the Minister of State for Power, Work and Housing,
Mustapha Baba Shehuri, said his administration was planning to recreate more of similar models across the nation to ease the accommodation burden being faced by middle and low earning workers.
Nigeria has budgeted the sum of N40 billion on housing this year.

Alread, it is understood that integrated housing estates will be developed in Lagos, Bauchi and Cross River States under Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement.

Yesterday’s launching was chaired by business mogul, Aliko Dangote, who said his company would widen the scope of FISH to enable workers have their own houses by the time they live service.
The FISH Programme was designed to provide affordable housing for public servants through an integrated strategy involving group land acquisition, infrastructure development, inter-ministerial collaboration, site services and support from mortgage finance bank.

The project will be cited on a parcel of land in Chafuyi Village measuring 60 hectares and will be developed through private partnership led by ABSI Building Systems International.
The American firm intends to use half of the land to build low cost houses for federal civil servants, while the remaining half will be used for luxury houses.

The Permanent Secretary, Common Services, who is the Chairman of the project Mr. S.K.Y Adelakun, said the price limit prices for the low cost houses are N5 million, N9 million and N12 million for one bedroom, two bedrooms and three bed rooms respectively.

“All federal civil servants are eligible to apply for allocation to these houses depending on their ability to pay the equity contributions required for mortgage approval and the monthly repayment their salaries can accommodate. It is also a requirement to be a registered member of FISH Corporative Society to be eligible,” Adelakun said.

The scheme was commemorated with the allocation of 10 houses each of one bedroom, two bedrooms and three bedrooms through open balloting system supervised by National Lottery Commission.
Though it was felt that the cost of the building was beyond the reach of public workers, Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, said what was offered for now was a commercial limit, adding that prices would crash through inter ministerial intervention and giving of loans to estate developers to bring down the costs.

Buhari's admin debt or previous admin's debt? If we talk, they call us names. God help us.

The President of Cameroon, Paul Biya, sent a five-man delegation to Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency on last week to learn how to trace money stolen from the heavily corrupt country.

It was not the first time Cameroonian officials had traveled to Nigeria to learn the fight against corruption. After President Olusegun Obasanjo set up the anti-corruption agency in Nigeria in 2003 as he sought to perpetuate himself in office, Biya sent a team to Nigeria to learn the same tricks as voices rose against his long rule, although the official reason for establishing the EFCC was a response to pressure from the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), which named Nigeria as one of 23 countries non-cooperative in the international community’s efforts to fight money laundering.

Shortly after that visit, what was known as “Operation Epervier” in French or “Eagle Operation” was launched in Cameroon. Many politicians were arrested on corruption allegations, especially those suspected to be vying for Biya’s seat.



In a statement on Wednesday to TheSimonAtebaNews, the acting Chairman of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, was quoted as expressing the readiness of the Commission to assist the Cameroonian government in the area of asset tracking and recovery.Magu was speaking on Wednesday when he received a five-man delegation from Cameroon in his office in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.

‘‘The Commission will be willing to exchange ideas and experiences with your country in necessary areas as you may desire. I wish to also thank you for your interest in the activities of the Commission,’’ he said.

The leader of the Cameroonian delegation, Aseh Joseph Malegho, said the success story of the Commission had travelled far and wide through different media.According to him, “Your actions are laudable. We commend you and the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, for your efforts in ridding Nigeria of corruption.

‘‘Your anti-graft war has endeared you to us; that is why we have come to identify with your Commission.’’

Malegho also appealed to the EFCC boss to share his experience in the areas of asset tracing, freezing and recovery as well as how the recovered assets were being ploughed back into the country’s economy, EFCC said in a statement.
