President Bola Tinubu has defended his administration’s housing programme, saying significant progress has been made in fulfilling campaign promises aimed at making home ownership more accessible and affordable for Nigerians.
In a statement posted on his official X handle on Tuesday, the President said his government had moved beyond promises by commencing housing projects across the country, introducing mortgage financing schemes and implementing reforms designed to address long-standing challenges in the housing sector.
“When I placed the Renewed Hope Agenda before Nigerians, I did not speak of housing in vague terms. I gave my word that this administration would work to make decent homes affordable again, and that a hardworking family, after years of paying rent, would finally have a path to a house of its own,” Tinubu said.
The President recalled that his administration promised to deliver 100,000 homes nationwide, with 50,000 units in the first phase through housing developments spread across the six geopolitical zones, the Federal Capital Territory and other states.
