Housing Minister Reaffirms Commitment to Sustainable Housing Delivery for Nigerians 

 

The Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Engr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma, has reaffirmed the  Federal Government's  commitment to the timely delivery of sustainable and affordable housing projects to improve  the welfare of Nigerians .

 

The Minister stated this on Thursday, April 30, 2026, during a familiarization visit to the Renewed Hope Housing Project for military personnel as well as the Renewed Hope City Housing Estate, Karsana in Abuja.

 

Speaking during the visit, Engr. Darma described the projects as strategic interventions under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, noting that the initiative represents one of the most significant housing legacies for members of the Armed Forces.

 

According to him, the military housing project, comprising about 1,550 housing units, is being developed with essential infrastructure and facilities including road networks, water supply, schools and sporting facilities to provide a conducive living environment for beneficiaries.

 

“The visit has provided us the opportunity to assess the level of work on site. This project is a major legacy initiative of the present administration for military personnel, and we are impressed with the level of development and supporting infrastructure being put in place,” the Minister stated.

 

Engr. Darma emphasized the need for timely completion of the projects, assuring that the Ministry would sustain close monitoring and supervision to ensure quality, durability and compliance with approved standards.

 

He further stressed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu places high priority on the provision of affordable and sustainable housing for Nigerians, adding that the Ministry remains committed to delivering on its mandate under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

 

“Mr. President relies on the Ministry to deliver affordable and sustainable housing for Nigerians, and we are fully committed to achieving that mandate,” he added.

 

The Minister was informed that the Renewed Hope Housing Estate for military personnel, being executed under a Public-Private Partnership arrangement by Brains and Hammers Limited, has attained about 70 percent completion, while the developers projected a three-month timeline for delivery despite having seven months within the contractual schedule.

 

Similarly, the 2,744-unit Karsana Housing Estate is nearing completion. The Minister commended the project financiers, the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria and Family Homes Funds Limited, for their support towards the successful execution of the project.

 

Engr. Darma also lauded the consultants and contractors handling the projects for their dedication and professionalism, while urging them to maintain high standards and imbibe a strong maintenance culture to sustain the Renewed Hope Housing initiative.

 

The Minister further noted that the Karsana Housing Project has significantly contributed to job creation, with over 15,000 skilled and unskilled workers engaged during the course of the project.

 

Upon assuming office, Engr. Darma had pledged to build on the achievements already recorded in the housing sector, assuring Nigerians of his commitment to expanding access to affordable housing and promoting sustainable urban development across the country. 

 

The Honourable Minister was accompanied on the visit by the Honourable Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Ata; the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Shuaib Belgore; Directors of the Ministry; and officials of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria led by the Managing Director, Shehu Usman Osidi.

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. ...

Dangiwa Decries 30-Year Non-Implementation of Urban and Regional Planning Law — Advocates States’ Adoption and Domestication   The Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, FNIA, FCIB, has decried the failure of most States to adopt and implement the Urban and Regional Planning Law (Decree 88 of 1992, Cap. 138 LFN 2004) more than 30 years after its passage, calling it a major setback to Nigeria’s quest for orderly and sustainable urban growth.   Speaking at the National Colloquium on the Implementation of the Urban and Regional Planning Law, organised by the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP) in Abuja, the Minister expressed concern that only two States, including Katsina, have domesticated the landmark legislation since its enactment in 1992.   “It is regrettable that more than three decades after the promulgation of this progressive law, only two States, including my home State of Katsina, have adopted and operationalised it. This has contributed to the uncoordinated growth of our cities, the proliferation of informal settlements, and widening gaps between planning ideals and urban realities,” Dangiwa stated.   He commended the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners for convening the colloquium, describing it as timely and essential for national reflection on how to revitalise planning practice as a tool for sustainable development.   The Minister explained that the 1992 Urban and Regional Planning Law was a bold reform that replaced the obsolete 1946 Town and Country Planning Law — providing, for the first time, a comprehensive framework for land use and physical development across all tiers of government. However, he lamented that weak institutional capacity, inadequate manpower, poor intergovernmental coordination, and low public awareness have hindered its implementation.   Dangiwa noted that the realities of rapid urbanisation, climate change, and technological advancement have further outpaced the provisions of the law, making its review and update both urgent and necessary.   Under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Minister reaffirmed the commitment of the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development to driving the nationwide adoption, domestication, and effective implementation of the law. He added that the Ministry is also working to review and modernise the legislation to align with current realities and emerging global standards in spatial and physical planning.   “We are determined to ensure that every State of the Federation adopts and operationalises this law. Urban and regional planning is not a theoretical exercise — it is the backbone of sustainable growth, efficient infrastructure, and social well-being,” he said.   Dangiwa disclosed that as part of its reform agenda, the Ministry has completed the review of the National Urban Development Policy, approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC), and is finalising the National Physical Planning Standards and the National Policy on Rural Settlements Planning and Development to promote balanced regional development and reduce migration pressures on urban centres.   He further cited the Renewed Hope Housing Programme as a practical demonstration of integrated land use and planning principles envisioned under the law, with each housing project reflecting proper spatial planning and environmental sustainability. “Through the Renewed Hope Housing Programme, we are showing that effective planning leads to better, more liveable, and inclusive communities,” he noted.   The Minister urged State Governments, professional bodies, and development partners to work collectively to reposition urban and regional planning as a strategic instrument for economic transformation, social equity, and environmental resilience.   He formally declared the Colloquium open, reaffirming the Federal Government’s unwavering resolve to make planning the organising framework for Nigeria’s sustainable development. ...

FG Provides N500bn to Resuscitate FMBN for Mortgage Facilities

The Federal Government says it has provided N500 billion to resuscitate the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) to make mortgage facilities easily available to Nigerians. Alhaji Mustapha Baba-Shehuri, Minister of State for Power, Works and Housing, announced this in Lafia on Monday when he called on the Nasarawa State Deputy Governor, Mr Silas Agara.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the minister visited the site of a National Housing Project (NHP) in Lafia. “The resuscitation of the bank with N500 billion will provide the institution with adequate funds to provide mortgage facilities to interested Nigerians. “The Federal Government in its quest to provide shelter to Nigerians, has recently directed the FMBN to waive the payment of 10 percent equity on mortgages below N5 million. “This will greatly enhance the transition of low income earners from tenants to home owners,’’ he said.

Baba-Shehuri explained that the project would provide houses and jobs for low income earners. The minister said the houses would be built based on Nigerian housing design with 100 per cent local content. “The housing project came up with a 100 per cent Nigerian housing design and local content. “This is done because government wants to create employment for Nigerian youths,’’ he said.

The minister commended the state government for providing land for the National Housing Project, saying that it was in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration’s promise of providing infrastructure. Baba-Shehuri said the ministry would leave no stone unturned in tackling the challenges of housing shortage in the country which was about 16 million to 17 million. He disclosed that the government had commenced plan to construct mass housing units in every state for public and private workers over the next three years.

Responding, the Deputy Governor thanked the minister for the visit and commended the Buhari led administration for initiating the project. “We assure you as a state that we will partner with your ministry to ensure that the project is successfully completed. “As you are aware, we have fulfilled our part by providing a good location in Akruba in the outskirts of Lafia metropolis for the project,’’ he said.

The minister visited the ongoing project in Akruba in Lafia Local Government Area comprising 76 houses of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Remarks By The Hon. Minister Of Housing And Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa At The Ground-Breaking Of The 250-Housing Unit Renewed Hope Estate In Delta On Saturday, June 29, 2024

 

Protocols

 

Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

First, I would like to thank His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for honoring our invitation to the groundbreaking of a 250-housing unit Renewed Hope Estate here in the State’s capital. 

 

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 commissioning 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.

 

This second leg will see us break ground for a total of 2,000 Renewed Hope Housing Units across eight (8) states in the South and North Central. We started on Wednesday with 250 units in Ebonyi; Thursday we were in Abia for another 250 units, yesterday we were in Akwa Ibom for another 250 units and today we are happy to be here in Delta to flag off another 250 units. Next week we will proceed to Osun, Oyo, Benue, and Nasarawa states for 250 housing units in each of these states. 

 

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
Messrs Good News creative ideas Ltd
Messrs First class capital projects Ltd.
Messrs Good news creative ideas Ltd 
Messrs Gozcom investment Ltd 
Messrs Gozcom investment 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 Delta 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 Delta, 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 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 Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for promptly granting our request for the provision of land at no cost. This singular action has helped us 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 are committed to fulfilling promises and responsibilities to all Nigerians.

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

Protocols
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,


First, I would like to thank His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, for honoring our invitation to the groundbreaking of a 250-housing unit Renewed Hope Estate here in Abakiliki, the state’s capital.
Today’s ceremony starts the second leg of a nationwide groundbreaking exercise for housing projects under the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Programme, which His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, launched in February with the commissioning of a 3,112-housing unit in Karsana, Abuja.

As we break ground for this project, I want to charge the developers, Jephthah Global Investments Ltd, Proportion Construction Works Nigeria Limited, Ideal Shelters Limited, and KLYN Construction Works Ltd, to ensure that they build according to specifications. I want to warn in very strong terms that WE WILL NOT TOLERATE SUBSTANDARD WORK. You must be committed to delivering quality work as per the contractual terms to ensure durability.


We also want you to have this work finished within three months so that we can begin the process of getting Ebonyi indigenes to purchase and move in.
