The Federal Government has announced a landmark initiative under the Renewed Hope Agenda to deliver 77,400 social housing units across Nigeria and launch new Renewed Hope Cities in Lagos, Abuja, and Kano in a move to tackle the country’s housing deficit.
This was disclosed by the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata, in a statement recently.
Speaking on the ministry’s mandate and the importance of external collaboration, Ata said, “The primary mandate of the ministry is to provide mass housing for Nigerians, and we welcome potential collaboration with Ms Allen Le and Partners International Investment Consulting Joint Company in achieving this goal.”
He reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to solving housing challenges through major investments and partnerships.
“Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, we are constructing 3,000 housing units each in Lagos, Abuja, and Kano for Renewed Hope Cities and 250 housing units in each of the 36 states for the Estates,” he said.
Noting the scope of the ministry’s social housing efforts, the minister announced the nationwide rollout: “Additionally, the social housing initiative will deliver 77,400 housing units, 100 in each of the 774 local government areas,” he said.
