The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, has outlined plans to complete national housing projects in 20 states, including the Federal Capital Territory, as part of his commitment to addressing Nigeria’s housing deficit.

This initiative, he said, aligns with the presidential mandate of providing affordable housing for all Nigerians.

In a statement issued by the Ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Salisu Haiba, the Minister emphasised the need for enhanced budgetary allocations to meet these ambitious housing goals.

“Dangiwa also listed the focus areas of his ministry in the 2025 budget to include the construction of 20,000 housing units under the Renewed Hope Housing Agenda and the completion of national housing projects in over 20 states and the FCT,” the statement read.

During his presentation of the 2025 budget to the National Assembly, Dangiwa highlighted the ministry’s key priorities for the year, which include completing ongoing housing projects, slum upgrading, and urban renewal programmes across the country.

In the statement, Dangiwa also urged the National Assembly to approve increased funding in seven critical areas, which he said were essential to realising the transformative housing policies and programmes of President Bola Tinubu’s administration aimed at economic recovery and growth.

The seven key areas for increased funding, as outlined by the minister, include increased funding for the completion of ongoing housing projects, enhanced allocation for slum upgrading and urban renewal programmes, additional resources for the national housing projects, improved funding for affordable housing initiatives, enhanced allocation for housing infrastructure development, increased support for housing research and development, and improved funding for housing policy and regulatory framework development.

PresidObi:
Rubbish ideas.

Please I want to ask, where have government built houses for people before without fraud and jibiti meant to benefit party loyalists? In most of these estates, if you don't know someone who knows someone, forget it. Government wayo is most prevalent in government housing estates.

Private property business is to be encouraged and supported by government instead of people deceiving themselves that they are building for Nigerians.

You are just contradicting yourself by expressing your disdain for the Housing Minister's policies.

I know you have not traveled abroad in your life.... and if you have, check some of these European Housing Scheme, the government played major roles in theor housing scheme...and the same is being adopted, and you are shouting like an empty barrel.

Do you even know what you want in life?

Crucialgem:
Government really needs to dive into housing sector in Nigeria, as private estate companys and developers are really exploiting Nigeria with overpriced and in conducive houses in Lagos and other metropolitant state

PresidObi:
See this small pikin o, comparing European government policies to these crooks in this government and their serial lies packaged as government policies? Are you OK?

Europe is Europe, Nigeria is hell fire made possible by these bunch of cheap crooks promising you nonsense.

Jagaban2012:
Even if the federal government builds a road through your home, you will deny it. This is how bad your hatred has become.

Sentiment makes you blind to reality
