Housing Ministry Holds Pre - retirement Training for Officers

Retirement, a redirection of wealth of experience - Belgore

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Shuaib Belgore has described retirement as a redirection of wealth of experience into new and meaningful ventures rather than a withdrawal from productivity.

Belgore spoke during the opening ceremony of a two-day Staff Pre-Retirement Training organized for retiring officers of the Ministry, at the Conference Room of the Ministry.

The Permanent Secretary was represented by the Director department of Human Resource Management, Ademola Ayodele.

He described the event as a significant milestone marking not just the end of a career in public service, but the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities, growth, and renewed purpose.

Welcoming distinguished participants, facilitators, and the retiring officers on behalf of the Honourable Minister, the Permanent Secretary noted that the training programme was specially organized to equip participants with the knowledge, practical skills, and mindset required to transition successfully from active service into retirement.

He sincerely acknowledged the years of commitment, professionalism, and invaluable contributions of the retiring officers to the growth and transformation of the Ministry; “Your service has helped shape policies, projects, and programs that continue to impact communities across our nation”, he added.

Dr. Belgore urged participants to actively engage in the sessions, ask questions, share experiences, and take full advantage of the resource persons assembled for the programme.

“I wish everyone of you a productive and rewarding training session, as well as a fulfilling and prosperous life beyond active service”, He said.

In his welcome address, the director department of Human Resource Management, Ayodele Ademola, informed that the program would cover key areas such as financial planning, health and wellness, psychological readiness, and entrepreneurship, among others.

He encouraged the participants to actively, ask questions, and share experiences as the platform was designed for their benefit.

Mr. Ademola further thanked the participants for their service, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment, expressing gratitude to the facilitators for making themselves available for the training.

The training featured interactive sessions where facilitators delivered presentations and provided practical insights on key areas essential for post-service success.

In a presentation titled “Perspectives in Retirement,” the first facilitator, Mr. Fashina Kayode, urged participants to identify and develop their innate skills as a foundation for a productive retirement. He emphasised that carefully harnessed skills can enhance financial stability and long-term sustainability.

Fashina outlined four pillars of retirement to include; Financial Security, Health and Wellness, Purpose and Engagement, Social Connection.

Highlighting common challenges such as financial uncertainty, health concerns, social isolation, and difficulty adjusting to a less structured lifestyle, he noted that adherence to these pillars would enable retirees to enjoy a meaningful and rewarding post-service life.

Another facilitator, Mr. Francis Olorunfemi, delivered a lecture titled “Retirement in the public service: The uncertainties, the fears and the need for future plans”, where He focused on the theme of uncertainty, explaining that it is a natural part of retirement and may arise in areas such as business ventures, pension administration, and personal relationships.

He stressed the importance of cultivating a positive mindset, noting that resilience and adaptability are crucial to maintaining a healthy and fulfilling retirement.

While encouraging participants to establish viable businesses, he advised them to invest only in ventures they understand and can personally supervise, warning that lack of oversight often leads to financial loss.

On health and wellness of retirees, a medical facilitator Mr. Adeose P. J, urged participants to adopt routine medical check-ups, maintain physical fitness through daily exercise and stretching, and develop financial plans to address potential health challenges.

He further emphasised the importance of mental health in retirement, recommending engagement in hobbies, continuous learning, volunteering, and social activities as essential strategies for maintaining psychological well-being.

Also in his contribution, Director of the department of Finance and Accounts, Mr. Peter Osondu, advocated for reforms within the civil service, particularly in strengthening remuneration packages beyond their current levels.

Osondu stressed that no amount of training can fully offset financial limitations if post-retirement earnings remain insufficient, underscoring the need for broader structural improvements to enhance retirees’ financial security.

Housing Minister Charges States To Allocate One-to-three Percent Annual Budgets For Land Titling Programme * Says Land4Growth is Nigeria’s Surest Path to a $1 Trillion Economy The Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa has issued a bold call for State Governments to dedicate between 1 and 3 percent of their annual budgets to land administration and systematic land titling, declaring that credible land governance is the country’s strongest lever for building a trillion-dollar economy. Dangiwa made the call in Kano, in a keynote address at the opening of the 30th Conference of Directors of Lands in the Federal and States Ministries, Departments and Agencies, Tuesday, 25th November, 2025. " I strongly recommend and charge that Nigerian State Governments ring-fence between 1 and 3 percent of their annual budgets for land administration and systematic titling during the reform and scaling phase" he stated The theme for the 30th Conference is Nigeria Land Titling, Registration and Documentation Programme (NLTRDP): Implementation Mission Dangiwa explained that International evidence shows very clearly that Ministries responsible for land administration around the world operate on about one percent of the total public budget. He said " based on these global benchmarks and our own national realities ... a sustainable allocation of 0.5 to 1 percent will be sufficient to maintain digital registries, continue systematic documentation, and keep the cadastre up to date" The minister further stated that, half of the allocation must go directly to real service delivery- systematic titling, digitisation, modern registries, surveys and dispute-resolution-not vehicles, furniture or overheads. " If we spend on impact, not overheads, every State will unlock revenue, citizens will gain secure property rights, and land will become a true economic asset, not dead capital. And let me say this confidently: the success of the Land4Growth Programme is Nigeria’s surest bet to achieving the One Trillion Dollar Economy" he remarked Accordingly, Dangiwa stated that, land becomes bankable, when citizens can use it for credit, when investors trust the registry, and when States earn sustainable revenue from property markets, saying that ' we will unlock growth on a scale that can transform our national economy. That is how land becomes wealth, and how this sector can power Nigeria’s economic future.” he stated. The Minister further disclosed that the last World Bank Doing Business ranking on Registering Property, Nigeria performed poorly due to excessive procedures, long timelines, and high costs, this he said, creates uncertainty for investors and unnecessary hardship for citizens He noted the identical challenges across the states as; complex manual workflows, fragmented and outdated paper records, corruption risks, tenure insecurity for vulnerable groups, and very low revenue collection despite huge potential. He also told the participants that, under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, land administration will be treated not as routine bureaucracy but as a strategic economic reform, adding that government had begun to translate the commitment into concrete action. " I have directed the Director Lands to make sure every Director has a copy of the Concept Note and Framework. embrace it and properly guide your State Governments to adopt it and work with us at the Federal level to implement it" Dangiwa said " We are not yet where we want to be, but we are certainly not where we were last year. We are moving - and we are moving with purpose.We have within this period introduced the Nigeria Land Titling, Registration and Documentation Programme (Land4Growth) to unlock an estimated $300 billion in dead capital, and are finalizing a partnership with the World Bank and state governments to register, document, and title land nationwide" he concluded Earlier in his opening remark, the Permanent Secretary of Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Shaiub Belgore stated that the annual Conference of Directors of Lands has served as a key platform for professional exchange over the years He said " As we mark the 30th edition, it is important that this gathering does not remain a yearly talk shop. The true value of this conference will not be measured in speeches, communiqués or photographs, but in how the knowledge gained here is translated into practical reforms in your States" ...

Housing Ministry Endorses KTNN’s Nationwide Renewed Hope Homeownership Campaign. •⁠ ⁠campaign to compliment Ministry’s ongoing housing sector Reforms - Dangiwa The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has expressed support to a nationwide campaign on Renewed Hope Homeownership and Housing Development presented by the KnowThis Nigeria Network (KTNN) The decision was the outcome of a meeting between the ministry and the KTNN's team led by its Project Director, Engr. Robert Ahen Chenge to discuss the partnership for the campaign. Know This Nigeria Network (KTNN) is a civic organization dedicated to bridging knowledge gaps and promoting citizen engagement in national development. The campaign, an initiative of the KTNN, is designed to bridge the gap between citizens, state governments and housing institutions in Nigeria’s housing reform initiatives. It comprises six regional housing advisory Executive Sessions for Governors, Commissioners of Housing, Land and Urban Development, CEOs of States' Housing Corporations, Legislators, and Private sector. to serve as direct engagement platforms for the leadership of the Ministry, its agencies, and development partners. The initiative further aims at interfacing with States and aligning housing plans, implementing land reforms, unlocking dead capital, and enabling access to federal and international funding to expand affordable housing delivery. On the other hand, the Campaign will take the message directly to citizens through State-by-State Homeownership Seminars. These seminars will be hybrid — physical and virtual — to reach every demographic group. Civil servants, artisans, entrepreneurs, professionals, and youth groups will all learn directly from FMHUD, FMBN, FHA, FHFL, NMRC, MREIF, and InfraCredit. In his remarks, Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa praised the effort of the KTNN to translate housing reforms into a nationwide movement that connects policy with people, emphasizing on the importance of making housing reforms accessible to citizens, especially those at the grassroots. “Many States are still not fully aware of the federal and international housing windows available to them and many citizens still don’t know where to start or how to access affordable housing opportunities”, he said. “Having gone through the earlier submissions and presentation from KTNN, I am persuaded to endorse the principles and objectives of the Renewed Hope National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign. The goals of deepening citizen awareness, strengthening State–Federal collaboration, and institutionalising continuity in housing reforms are fully consistent with our Ministry’s priorities under the Renewed Hope Agenda” Dangiwa noted. He appreciated the timely and strategic nature of the campaign, saying that it complemented ongoing efforts of the Ministry through the Renewed Hope Housing Programme, the Renewed Hope Social Housing Programme, the Land 4growth reforms, among others, designed to make housing delivery more coordinated, transparent, and inclusive. Minister Dangiwa acknowledged the KTNN’s proposals to institutionalise housing knowledge through the establishment of States' Housing Reform Offices (SHROs) and a National Housing Reform Office (NHRO) as part of the Campaign, noting however that the Ministry will review the specifics to see how they fit into the Renewed Hope Housing Delivery Strategy in line with the need to that they would complement the Ministry’s existing Department of Reform Coordination and Service Improvement to ensure continuity and knowledge retention across political transitions. “What I see here is not duplication, but an opportunity for complementarity, where private sector-driven support structures like the NHRO and SHROs can work alongside our existing frameworks to deepen reform implementation and accelerate results”, he explained. Accordingly, Dangiwa lauded KTNN’s push to seek partnerships of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) such as the World Bank, Shelter Afrique Development Bank, IFC EDGE, and UN-Habitat, noting that the proposal for a co-funding with the DFI’s was consistent with the Ministy’s approach of building sustainable, blended-finance solutions. He also appreciated KTNN’s plan to produce practical tools like the State Homeownership and Housing Development Advisory Booklet, the Renewed Hope Homeownership Guide, the video infomercials, and the website and digital engagement platform, to help simplify communication, expand public understanding, and build trust between government and citizens. The Minister directed the Permanent Secretary to constitute a technical review team comprising relevant departments and agencies like the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Family Homes Funds Limited (FHFL), Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company (NMRC), and the Reform Coordination Department of the Ministry, to collaborate with KTNN in finalizing partnership modalities. He further assured the KTNN team of the Ministry’s openness to ideas, partnerships, and innovations that help achieve shared goals. “The Renewed Hope vision is not just a government slogan, it is a national call to action. It belongs to every Nigerian who believes that change is possible when citizens and institutions work together”, Dangiwa said. In his presentation, the Project Director KTNN, Engr. Robert Ahen Chenge, noted that the Renewed Hope National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign, was a movement that seeks to bring together all federal and international housing institutions to move forward the agenda of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu's administration in the housing sector. He explained that the campaign which is designed to bridge gaps between policy and people, federal programs as well as state level efforts, and institutional knowledge with citizen access, would be a hybrid campaign, both physically and online, to ensure broad participation and engagement. Engr. Chenge further outlined three key gaps the campaign is designed to close to include: lack of understanding of federal reforms, underutilization of federal support institutions, and low awareness of federal housing initiatives. He said the Campaign also aims to train, certify, and deploy Homeownership Specialists in every State to guide citizens through mortgage applications, housing registration, and homeownership processes, with counterpart funding structure involving government, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and the private sector to ensure sustainability. ...

These Sessions are expected to bring about housing policies that will alleviate the difficulties of providing the affordable houses in Nigeria, provide equilibrium in demand and supply of housing market and tackle rapid increase of building collapse in Nigeria. The housing sector policy in Nigeria is crucial for addressing the country's significant housing needs.

Affordable housing by providing options for low-income earners.

Regulatory frameworks
Public-private partnerships

As professionals in the housing sector, your insights and expertise are vital. I encourage open and constructive dialogue to ensure this policy aligns with our shared vision.

Our objectives are clear:

1. Improving access to affordable housing

Keynote address delivered by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Marcus O. Ogunbiyi, at the launch of Performance Management day at the Ministry’s Headquarter, Mabushi, Abuja on 10th October 2024.

Protocols:

It is with immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I am with you today to officially launch the weekly Performance Management System (PMS) Day in our esteemed Ministry.

2. This is the beginning of a transformative journey for us as we heed the directive from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, which mandates every Thursday to be set aside for activities related to Performance Management System in the Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies and be christened “PMS Day”.

3. This directive is not just a routine exercise; it is a call to action for all of us to fully embrace the vision of an efficient, effective, responsive and performance-based Federal Civil Service.

4. Performance Management System is a tool for goal and target setting, appraisal and monitoring of employee performance and the delivery of institutional mandates. It provides a systematic process of planning work, setting targets, providing support to employees and measuring results.

5. It also provides the framework for continuous tracking of employees’ performance in a manner that is consistent and measurable, for developing and improving their capacities to perform on their jobs and for motivating them for increased productivity.

6. The institutionalization of a functional performance management system being one of the six pillars of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025, (FCSSIP25) will improve efficiency and productivity in the public service and is key to achievement of the objectives of the ongoing reform initiatives and culture re-orientation in the Public Service.

7. It will also ensure appropriate linkage of key government tools towards the attainment of national development goals and entrench a merit-based system in the Public Service. As a matter of fact, institutionalizing PMS is a cornerstone for our efforts to transform the entire Nigerian Public Service as a result-based and performing institution. PMS is an essential tool that provides a guide for the MDAs’ operations as we seek to reclaim our enviable position in delivering high-quality services to the Nigerian people.

8. The introduction of PMS has remained a timely project, and I have no doubt that it is exactly what the Federal Civil Service needs at this critical time to elevate our service delivery standards, enhance accountability, and build a positive culture of productivity, consequent management and continuous improvement in both personnel and institutional performance.

9. Today, as we launch the PMS Day in the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, we are not just institutionalizing a PMS weekly activity in the Ministry; we are reinforcing our commitment to excellence that has been the guiding ethos of the Ministry in the achievements of its deliverables of the Presidential Priorities and the implementation of the FCSSIP25 reform initiatives.

10. It is crucial to understand that the full implementation and institutionalisation of PMS is not just the responsibility of a few; it is a collective responsibility that spans all levels of our Ministry, from the most senior management cadre to the lowest-ranked officers, including security personnel and the janitorial service providers. Everyone has a vital role to play in ensuring that PMS is not just a beautiful policy on paper but a living, breathing organisational culture within the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

11. To all Directorate level officers, you are the leaders and the vision bearers of your respective departments. As PMS supervisors, your roles in driving this initiative cannot be overstated. Your commitment to the institutionalization of PMS in your respective departments are what will inspire and motivate other staff and team members to follow suit. You are the ones who will set the tone for accountability and performance at the departmental levels, and I urge you to lead by example.

12. I commend all the Departments and Units that have cascaded signing of performance contracts with staff. We have no place to hide. We have been a performing Ministry. We are determined and we shall continue to perform because PMS has come to stay in this Ministry. To move our sector and country forward, you and I must embrace this world-best practice and your department should not be a reason for the Ministry to lose its enviable high-ranking position as one of the leading MDAs in the implementation of Federal Government reforms and programmes.

13. To our middle and junior-level officers, your dedication and hard work are the bedrock of our Ministry’s success. The PMS is designed to recognize and reward your contributions, ensuring that your efforts are aligned with our shared vision and that your professional growth is supported.

14. I encourage you to see this initiative as an opportunity to showcase your talents, sharpen your skills, and play active roles in the development of our Ministry and the nation at large.

15. It is normal for a very young Ministry like ours to face some challenges especially in a housing and urban development sector with a high level of expectations in creating possibilities for social infrastructure as enabler for growth. These have not in any way deterred the Ministry from exploring possibilities and innovative ways of bringing about possible solutions including partnering with our stakeholders to be able to deliver on the Ministry’s mandate as expected.

16. However, with the full implementation of the PMS, we have a robust framework that allows us to measure our progress, identify areas for improvement, and celebrate our successes. It is a tool that will guide our decision-making processes and ensure that every action we take contributes to the fulfillment of our mandates in formulating and implementing the policies, programmes and projects of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the Housing and Urban Development sector.

17. As we set aside every Thursday to focus and reflect on our PMS activities, let us all commit to these sessions with the seriousness they deserve. Let us use this time to evaluate our performances, identify the gaps that need addressing, and collaboratively find solutions that will drive our Ministry forward. The PMS Day is our collective space for reflection, learning, and growth.

18. In conclusion, I am confident that if we fully embrace the PMS, the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development will set the benchmark for other Ministries to follow. Together, we can create a public service that is responsive, innovative, and committed to excellence.

19. Thank you for your commitment and dedication, and I look forward to working with all of you to make this initiative a success. It is on this note that I hereby launch today and every other Thursday as the PMS Day in the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

20. Thank you and God bless.
