Qatar to build 500,000 housing units in Kaduna

The Qatari Government has inaugurated the construction of 500,000 mass housing units project for vulnerable and less-privileged persons in Kaduna State.

Qatar’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Ali Bin Ghanem Al-Hajri perfomed the official inauguration of the project on Wednesday in Kaduna.

Al-Hajiri lauded Gov. Uba Sani for his support towards the success of the Qatar Sanabil Project in the state.

He said that the Qatari Charity had also pledged various interventions and empowerment programmes for the less-privileged and underserved across the state.

“These include, scholarships for orphans and children of the poor, distribution of sewing machines, welding machines , irrigation pumping machines, salon kits, and drilling of hundreds of boreholes across the 23 local government areas of Kaduna State,” the envoy said.

Speaking at the event which held at the Millennium City Kaduna, the governor lauded the Embassy of Qatar in Nigeria and the Qatari-owned Sanabil Project for keying into what he described as “business-friendly environment inherent in Kaduna State.”

Sani commended the Qatari Government for choosing Kaduna to be the location of its Mega Economic City and the mass housing project for the vulnerable and underserved citizens.

“The Economic City will provide world class infrastructure and make Kaduna a reference point in modern and affordable accommodation with adequate security and a conducive atmosphere for business activities.

“The Economic City will facilitate international trade, while serving as a platform for local entrepreneurs and traders.

“It will also harness product value chain opportunities and improve economic growth,” he said.

According to the governor, the project will make provisions for houses, clinics, shops, poultry farms, farmlands for rainy season and irrigation farming.

He said that choosing Kaduna State as the location for such a mega project was an indication of trust in his administration’s drive for investments.

“Our vision is to make Kaduna the Leading Economic Hub in the North. We want to create a business cluster that will drive competition in the Northern Region,” Sani said.

He explained that Kaduna State is rich in natural and human resources and gateway to many parts of the country.

He lauded the immediate past government for working assiduously to upgrade the infrastructure in the state.

“We are determined to build on that legacy to fast track the economic development of the state.

“The Kaduna State Government will continue to provide the Qatar Charity and other interested genuine investors,the support they need to complete all projects,” Sani added.

The Qatar Sanabil Project is a multi-million dollar project that will impact positively on the lives of over 500,000 poor, underserved and vulnerable citizens of Kaduna State, according the promoters of the project.

Well, I think this would just be a waste of Resources cos Housing is not our problem in Nigeria.

I pray it doesn't end up as boko haram housing estate.

In the past, most of the best schools and hospitals in Nigeria were built by the missionary and churches in Europe. However, those churches (especially the Catholic Church) stopped giving when they told the church in Nigeria that they have come of age. They said this when they realised that Nigeria wasn't poor - that Nigerians just chose bad leaders to mismanage their resources.

In fact, Joyce Meyer Ministries sent loads of relief materials to the victims of flood disaster in Delta State when your own government abandoned them. American churches have been intervening in Yemen, an islamic country with islamic neighbours that refused to assist the wartorn country.

Listen, when it comes to giving, no race in this world gives like the white man. Quote me anywhere.

Majority of schools in Nigeria primary n secondary schools were built by the church

How u go know if u no go?

They started the Project in Jigawa Hadejia, the land was cleared and some units are already at lintel level. Qatar will just be spending anyhow, I don't think Nigerian government can ever build 50k houses in one state.
