The Federal Government said it had begun developing a draft action for the phasing out of mud houses across the country.

The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, disclosed this on Saturday during a visit to the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute, Nnewi, Anambra state.

He said this would be made possible through research that would bring about cheap building materials that will enable Nigerians to have affordable and decent accommodation.
“It’s the desire of this government to give Nigerians decent living conditions. That’s why we are charging NBRRI to go into research that would be felt at the grassroots; a research that would enhance employment opportunities and decent houses and decent lives for Nigerians. The government of President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to making a positive difference in these areas,” Onu said.

The minister, who said the phasing out of mud houses might not be achieved immediately, stated that it was an ideal thing to do.

He assured staff of the NBRRI in Nnewi of more commitment from his ministry to boost the organisation’s professional activities and welfare, while tasking them to be committed to researches that will enhance use of local materials.

“We can’t continue to import because to do so is to export jobs,” Onu stated.

Expressing his displeasure over the fact that many of construction works in Nigeria are done by foreigners.

He said efforts were being made to revise school curricular in the country to encourage skills in constructions,

At the National Foundry Development and Training Centre, Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of the state, the minister regretted that foundry tools brought to the institute 18 years ago had not been put to use.

“This is not acceptable to this government. We must make use of this place under this administration,” he stated.

That means t whole southwest will be phased out lol

Hope Mr President knows that the people living in these mud houses are those who cannot afford to buy basic items like garri, rice, beans etc due to your to obnoxious policies and sluggishness. Just one year in office, the prices of basic commodities have double. Before phasing out the mud houses, just do the needful Mr President.

Okitikpupa, a village in Ondo State and Mud houses are like 5 & 6, they will be more grateful if Federal Government can replace those Mud Houses with better looking houses.my friends from that part of the State knows what I am talking about and they will benefit more than part of the Country. Thank you, Federal Government for Remembering Okitikpupa.

The FG keeps going for projects that will benefit only the north and South west.

this govt must do something at all cost,atleast if they cant afford to provide electricity,good governance and so on,they should be able to phase out mud houses.

Damn, does that mean 80% of Enugu and Ebonyi states will be destroyed just like that?

.............God!! What have we done wrong to deserve this kind of govt abeg??

Wetin concern mud house with hunger?

wetin connect economic development with type of houses people chose to live in?

Is this the next thing?

I guess they just want to "AWARD CONTRACTS" , its the best way to steal money........FANTHOM PROJECTS!!

so, this is what Ogbonnaya onu was employed to do? Build pencil factories and phase out mud houses?

By the way, I'm not against either of the above. But heck, there's got to be more pressing issues to attend to.

, $$'*%6**/%÷×÷

NW:

NE:

NC:

SE :They have many clay like oil. Cement no dey sell well for that side

SW : You can only find clay houses in old settlements.

SS Na pako house plenty for SS

Dis is a FG dat has been battling housing deficit for years now. Coupled with the facts dat ppl can barely afford a square meal and live on less than a $1 a day and are facing crunch economic conditions. By phasing out mud houses are dey going to replace dem for d owners or do they think d owners are not comfortable d way dey have been managing their lives? Most of d policy makers in dis govt have proven to b really clueless and out of tune with d plight of the masses with their misplaced priorities and policy sumersault time and time again. What do u expect from officials who actually boldly claim it is only a few dat are complaining of hard times.

confused government that is totally lacking of ideas, tell them that we're tired of their i would promises. even the promises like this one is plain stupid.
