On transportation difficulties, Dr. Belgore told the staff of the plan by the Ministry to procure new buses, and in the interim directed the Director of Human Resources Management to move two buses from the Lagos field office to the headquarters in Abuja to augment the existing fleet.
‎
‎“I have looked into the bus issue and I know the buses have run down. That is why new buses are being added to the fleet. I am hopeful these will bring some respite,” he said.

‎
‎" Upon assumtion of duty, i observed a drastic reduction in staff strength, necessitating the recruitment of new personnel.

The areas include; the establishment of Building Material Manufacturing Hubs across Nigeria's six regions, to reduce the cost of building materials in the country and create job opportunities. Dangiwa explained that each hub would be built on 200 to 300 hectares of land, to be equipped with infrastructure such as roads, drainages, electricity, water and other facilities that would enable the hub function properly. He as well informed that solicitors and proposals from investors has been received by the Ministry to develop the hubs, with four investors currently involved. “After we have done the site and services infrastructure, the spaces will be allocated for investors who wants to build medium size factory, small size factory and the large scale factories that can produce roofing sheets, doors, windows, ceramic tiles and all the printing materials that we need into the locations”, he added. The Minister spoke about the development of a district called Centenary City in Abuja, which spans over 1200 hectares of land along the airport road, saying that funds were needed to develop the infrastructure. He noted that the infrastructure development at the city would attract investors who will take up a portion of the land to develop commercial, tourism, residential, and industrial outlets. Another area of partnership according to the Minister is the Urban Development sector of the Ministry which focuses on urban development in the cities and urban areas, as well as slum upgrade in the hinterlands. He explained that the slum upgrade provides infrastructure like drainages, roads, sanitation, electricity, schools, and hospitals, that would make life comfortable for the society, informing that last year's budget funded the development of 150 slums, with over 120 already completed. In reference to the technical assistance earlier mentioned by the Director General of the Kuwait Fund, Arc. Dangiwa said the Ministry seeks technical assistance to fund and implement the programs effectively. He highlighted the need for technical assistance in conducting feasibility studies for projects like the Centenary City, adding that the Ministry already conducted one for the City, but needs additional support. Accordingly, the Minister mentioned the need for intervention in the area of the Renewed Hope Social Housing program of the ministry which aims to build 100 houses in the 774 local governments of the country, targeting low-income and underprivileged individuals. He explained the plan to sell 70 percent of the houses to the low income earners who would pay only 30 percent of their income and the rest subsidized by the government, while the remaining 30 percent of houses would be given to the zero income, underprivileged and displaced individuals. Dangiwa however noted that the social housing initiative is currently facing funding challenges which the ministry seeks solutions to. Earlier in his remarks, the Director-General of the Kuwait Fund for Arab Development, Dr. Wahad Al-Bahar, stated that their visit to the Ministry was to explore potential areas of collaboration and support. He informed that Kuwait Fund for Arab Development is interested in identifying projects within the Ministry that could benefit from its assistance, particularly in infrastructure and social development. Dr. Al-Bahar emphasized the importance of having updated feasibility studies for the proposed projects. He stated, “These are some of the areas we can support, but I need to know if you have feasibility studies for the projects. We also have to consider the cost implications, and the studies need to be current.” While clarifying that the Kuwait Fund does not finance direct housing projects in accordance with its operational policy, Dr. Al-Bahar affirmed the Fund’s willingness to support related infrastructure, including transportation, education, agriculture, and other social sectors. He further disclosed that prior to their visit to the Ministry, the Fund had signed its first partnership agreement with the Kaduna State Government on the project tagged “Reaching Out- of - School Children Program", an occasion he described as a delightful milestone. Dr. Al-Bahar added that the Kuwait Fund offers soft loans to governments, including Nigeria, under favorable conditions, with a maturity period ranging from 20 to 25 years and low interest rates. In addition to the financial assistance, he reaffirmed the Fund’s readiness to support the Nigerian Government in developing or updating feasibility studies for potential projects. “If you require assistance with developing proper studies, we are willing to help,” he assured. Responding to the Minister’s outlined priority areas, Dr. Al-Bahar acknowledged their significance and reiterated the Fund's willingness to consider them, subject to the availability of detailed feasibility studies. ...

The Minister spoke when he received the President of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Cooperative Society, Abdullahi Yusuf and members of his team on a courtesy visit to his office.

Dangiwa also stated that, the Ministry is working with state governments to provide land for the houses to be built in the States for the benefit of the citizens of the state, adding that developers and financial institutions such as Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, and Family Homes Fund, will provide access to delivery. He told the Cooperative team that they, as well as other Cooperative Societies, have a unique opportunity to be at the fore front of the housing programmes, highlighting that the federal mortgage loans is available with single-digit interest rates over 30 years to support members. He informed of other options, aside the interest loan single rates, such as ethical mortgage, Rent to Own and the cooperative housing development loans, designed for building bulk housing projects, for the members of the Cooperative society.

Speaking earlier, the President of the NHIA Cooperative, Abdullahi Yusuf, expressed appreciation to the Hon Minister for his role in facilitating members’ access to housing under the Rent-to-Own Product of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN). He explained that the Cooperative previous financial commitments with a private developer to address the housing needs of its members unfortunately failed, as the Society neither received land nor a full refund of the funds committed. Yusuf stated that NHIA under his leadership is determed to avoid further losses, hence decided to write to the Minister seeking to benefit on the Rent-to-Own product of the FMBN and hoping that it would enable members to realise their dream of homeownership. "When I heard about Rent -to- Own Product being initiated by you, I knew this is a way to go. This one I know I am dealing with Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria," he stated. He informed the Minister that thirty-six out of about one hundred staff members screened have been allocated houses, and received clearance to proceed to take ownership at the Brains and Hammers Bungalow City, Kubwa. Abuja. He also disclosed that their Cooperative Society has proposed an arrangement for bulk payment from source rather than individual monthly deductions as required under the Rent-to-Own scheme, noting that it would reduce the financial burden on members. “What you have done for us, we will never forget. Honestly, I wrote the letter reluctantly, unsure it would even reach the Minister. But when I visited FMBN, I was informed that the Minister had already written twice on the matter, and that a committee headed by an Executive Director had been constituted to address it,” he further appreciated. ...

Remarks By The Hon. Minister Of Housing And Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, At The Ground-Breaking For The 250-Housing Unit Renewed Hope Estate In Oyo State On Tuesday, July 9, 2024

Protocols

Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

First, I would like to thank His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde for honoring our invitation to the groundbreaking for a 250-housing unit Renewed Hope Estate here in the State’s capital. This event was originally scheduled to hold last week but we had to move it forward owing to a presidential engagement. I thank His Excellency for understanding with us and regret all inconveniences that may have been caused by the change of schedule.

Today’s ceremony is a continuation of the nationwide groundbreaking exercise for housing projects under the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Programme of the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, which His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, launched in February with the groundbreaking of a 3,112-housing unit in Karsana, Abuja.

Under Phase One of this programme, we plan to deliver a total of 50,000 housing units across Nigeria. This includes 7 Renewed Hope Cities that will have between 500 and 1,000 housing units per site in each of the six geopolitical zones in the country and the FCT, while the Renewed Hope Estates will have 250 units per site in the remaining thirty (30) states.

With this housing programme, we plan to unlock the massive potential of housing development to create jobs, uplift lives, and boost economic development. This is in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President to STIMULATE INCLUSIVE GROWTH, LIFT 100 MILLION NIGERIANS OUT OF POVERTY, AND BUILD A $1 TRILLION ECONOMY.

As you may recall, last month, following the presidential launch of the programme in Abuja, we embarked on the first leg of this exercise with the groundbreaking of 1,500 housing units in the northern part of Nigeria. This includes 250-housing unit Renewed Hope Estates, one each in Katsina, Yobe, Gombe, and Sokoto, and a 500-housing unit Renewed Hope City in Kano. Work is currently ongoing at each of these sites, and our plan is to have all of them completed within the next couple of months and made available to Nigerians in line with Mr. President’s desire to provide quality housing for all Nigerians. UNDER THE RENEWED HOPE AGENDA, WE ARE IMPLEMENTING A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR UNCOMPLETED PROJECTS.

Today’s event in Oyo completes the second leg of the exercise with groundbreaking for a total of 2,000 Renewed Hope Housing Units across eight (8) states in the South and North Central. We started two weeks ago on Wednesday July 26th with 250 units in Ebonyi. Same week Thursday we were in Abia for another 250 units, Friday we were in Akwa Ibom for another 250 units, and Saturday we were in Delta State for another 250 units.

Last week Monday we were in Osun State to flag off 250 units. Friday we proceeded to Benue State to break ground for 250 units and Saturday we were in Nasarawa State to flag off another 250 units. Today’s groundbreaking in Oyo, marks the 8th under the second leg and the 13th location since the Presidential flag off in February with a total of 3,500 housing units.

This estate comprises 50 units of 1-bedroom semi-detached bungalows, 150 units of 2-bedroom semi-detached bungalows, and 50 units of 3-bedroom semi-detached bungalows.

We have designed these housing units in a way that makes them affordable for people to acquire by using organic designs to allow for future expansion as the income of beneficiaries increases. This means that a 1-bedroom unit can be expanded to 2 bedrooms, and a 2-bedroom unit can also be expanded to 3 bedrooms as the owner’s financial situation improves or their family grows.

As we perform this groundbreaking, I want to charge the contractors
1. Messrs Skyhawk Nig. Ltd
2. Messrs Plusvaz Nigeria Ltd
3. Messrs Blue Sea Investment Ltd
4. Messrs Harama Global Ltd

to ensure that they build according to specifications. I want to emphasize in very strong terms that we will not tolerate substandard work from any developer, and we will explore all necessary legal means, to ensure that they deliver as per the contract. IF YOU COLLECT GOVERNMENT MONEY, YOU MUST DO THE WORK.

We also want the developers to adhere to the timeline and finish within three months so that we can begin the process of getting Oyo indigenes to purchase and move in.

To ensure affordability, we have created different options to enable everyone who has a source of income and livelihood to own these homes when they are completed. These include single-digit mortgage loans that beneficiaries can repay over 30 years, rent-to-own schemes provided by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, and outright purchase options for those who can afford to pay upfront.

Statistics show that the construction of one housing unit creates an average of 25 direct and indirect jobs. So, for these 250 housing units in Oyo State, we hope to create jobs for over 6,500 people in various trades, from professionals like architects, civil engineers, and mechanical engineers to masons, plumbers, tilers, electricians, and laborers. We have seen unskilled workers at other project sites earning as much as N35,000 per week, at an average of N5,000 per day. This amounts to about N140,000 per month.

This is in addition to the economic activities, including those selling food, supplying blocks, and providing building materials. The value chain effect of construction work on this site is significant and creates a positive economic impact.

I want to state that under the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we at the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development are very particular about giving Nigerians value for money. We are diligently funding these projects from the N50 billion 2023 Supplementary Budget that Mr. President approved for the Ministry to ensure sustainability, quality, and geographic spread.

It is important to say that the provision of land in a good location and at no cost is a key condition for siting Renewed Hope Housing Projects. The twelve states covered under this 2023 supplementary budget are those that first provided land. I want to assure that states that have not been covered will be included in the Ministry’s 2024 Budget on a first-come, first-served basis, on the condition that they provide land at no cost to enhance affordability.

At this juncture, I want to appreciate and thank His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, His Excellency Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde for promptly granting our request for the provision of land at no cost. This singular action has helped us to reduce as much as 30% of the cost of the units in this Estate for the benefit of potential homeowners. This is a dividend of responsible governance and I applaud Your Excellency for this.

Before I close my remarks, I want to thank and appreciate our President for providing the vision and the political will necessary for us to make a difference in terms of delivering decent and quality housing to Nigerians. The Groundbreaking ceremonies for these projects demonstrate that Mr. President and indeed the federal government of Nigeria is committed to fulfilling promises and responsibilities to all Nigerians.

Long live Oyo State and His Excellency, the Executive Governor.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Long live Mr. President.
