FG Initiate 77,400 Housing Units Nationwide

The federal government has announced a historic plan under the Renewed Hope Agenda to build new Renewed Hope Cities in Lagos, Abuja, and Kano and provide 77,400 social housing units throughout Nigeria in an effort to address the nation’s housing shortage.

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.

Ata emphasised the importance of clarity in collaboration: “We need to know specifically how we will partner with you. Make a formal proposal to the ministry indicating where you want to collaborate with us. We look forward to seeing clearly the areas where you want us to come in,” he told the delegation.
