The Anambra State Government has decried the rising cost of rent and housing deficits in the state and is planning to develop a policy for mass housing in partnership with the private sector to address the challenges and ensure sufficient housing supply.
This was disclosed in a press statement issued by the State Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Law Mefor, on Tuesday.
Mefor said the decision to develop a mass housing policy and other key resolutions were taken during the Anambra State Executive Council meeting at the Light House, Awka, on Monday.
According to him, a law on the protection of public property and regulation of the scrap business was also proposed for monitoring and surveillance, adding that the proposed law will require the licensing of scrap dealers, including those dealing in scrapped vehicles.
