A new report released by a civic organisation- Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative (PLSI) has revealed that about 1,432 low-income homes across five states have remained unoccupied despite being completed.

This group also raised concern that despite N65 billion released to Family Homes Funds Limited between 2018 and 2020 to facilitate the development of affordable/social homes, most of them are yet to be subscribed by low-income earners.

This was followed with implementation of Nigeria Economic Sustainability Plan 2020, which planned to provide 300,000 social homes yearly for low-income earners to address the over 22 million housing deficits with a yearly growth rate of 20per cent, according to Shelter Afrique, a Pan-African Real Estate Finance Institution.

The report further stated that macroeconomic conditions in Nigeria are the greatest impediments to affordable housing. He said: “We have analysed the performance audit report on management of resources for the provision of affordable/social homes for low-income earners in Nigeria conducted by the Auditor-General for the Federation and highlighted challenges impeding acquisition of 1,432 homes built in five states.
