The Federal Government has renewed its call for foreign investment in the housing sector, unveiling plans to develop a social housing programme that will cover all 774 local government areas in the country.

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Engr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma, disclosed this on Thursday during a meeting with Japanese construction firm, Chodai Company Limited, in Abuja.

The engagement, facilitated by the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), focused on possible partnerships to address Nigeria’s housing deficit and expand infrastructure development.
