The Federal Government has unveiled plans to drive affordable housing delivery through cooperative societies, digital finance systems, and strategic partnerships under the Renewed Hope Cooperative Reform and Revamp Programme.

The Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security and Supervising Minister for Cooperative Affairs, Aliyu Abdullahi, disclosed this through a statement issued by the ministry on Thursday.

Abdullahi said the Renewed Hope Cooperative Reform and Revamp Programme would strengthen cooperative societies as vehicles for affordable housing delivery and economic inclusion.

He said, “Cooperatives remain one of the most powerful vehicles for economic inclusion, community mobilisation, self-help development, social solidarity, and shared prosperity. Through cooperative housing systems, people can pool resources, reduce costs, improve bargaining power, access financing collectively, and create sustainable pathways to home ownership”.
