The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, yesterday announced that the federal government was set to officially flag-off construction work for additional 2,000 housing units in eight states in the South and North-Central zones of the country.

Abuja —

The nationwide groundbreaking exercise, he said, is sequel to the official launch of the housing programme by President Bola Tinubu in February 2024, with the inauguration of 3,112 housing units in Karsana, Abuja. Others are 250 units apiece in Osun, Oyo, Benue and in Nasarawa, bringing the total to 2,000 housing units in the eight states.

"Each Renewed Hope Estate in Ebonyi, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Delta, Osun, Oyo, Benue, and Nasarawa will comprise 50 units of one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, 100 units of 2-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, and 50 units of 3-bedroom semi-detached bungalow," the statement added. The minister assured state governments that the housing programme is designed to cover all states of the federation and those not captured under the supplementary budget will be taken care of under the 2024 budget.

The housing projects also seek to promote inclusivity and integration and address inequalities by providing a broad range of affordable homeownership options.
