Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Nairametrics| According to the Minister of State for Power, Works and Housing, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, the Federal Government (FG) has finalized plans on how it intends to make housing affordable for Nigerians in all 36 states of the Federation. A statement from an Assistant Director of Information in the Ministry of Housing, M. A. Ahmed, on Sunday in Abuja described 3 steps that the FG believes will ensure that the housing deficit in Nigeria, put at 17 million units, will be a past problem.

Building of Mass Housing Units  in every state

According to the statement, the FG has instructed the Ministry of Housing to ensure that it builds mass units of houses in every state of the country or public workers and other interested parties over the next three years, using a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. To achieve this, Shehuri said that housing models that reflect the cultural and climatic diversities of each region, as well as enable the country standardize the use of locally manufactured building materials have been developed. This was to make housing affordable on one hand and create jobs for the building industry on the other hand.

According to Shehuri, the FG has scrapped the usual initial payment of 10 per cent equity from approved off-takers for housing mortgage loans less than N5 million in an effort to make the provision of affordable houses to Nigerians, especially low income earners a reality instead of the far-fetched dream that it is today. The statement did not however specify what the new arrangement will be, but confirmed the waiver by the FG.

    I doubt this,this deficit will be 3 tmes of this 17 millions homes.,a home in Nigeria should contain a parlour,and the parents should have their bedroom,each child should have his/her space or bedroom,now it will contain a bathroom, a toilet and a kitchen all attached.i believe it when it happens,we have family of 8 members of a family living in a parlour and a bedroom.and it is happening in Nigeria now
