Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Muttaqha Darma.
The Federal Government has expressed readiness to partner with credible investors to address Nigeria’s housing deficit, saying it is willing to provide land across the country for mass housing projects.
The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Muttaqha Darma, disclosed this on Tuesday in a statement issued by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Badamasi Haiba, after a Chinese delegation, led by its Chief Engineer, Lewis Chima, sought a partnership with the Federal Government to deliver large-scale affordable housing across the country.
Darma commended the company for its interest in investing in Nigeria’s housing sector, noting that the proposal aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises expanding access to affordable and sustainable housing through public-private partnerships.
The minister said the ministry remained committed to creating an enabling environment for genuine investors by facilitating access to land and providing institutional support for successful project implementation.
