Ladies and Gentlemen,
Distinguished Guests,
1. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all, on behalf of the Honourable Minister, to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates in katsina, Katsina State. Today marks another milestone in our quest to further transform the landscape of our dear nation into a habitable community, which will provide homes, opportunities, and a brighter future for Nigerians.
2. As we are all aware, the hallmark of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is the Renewed Hope Agenda, which beams the light of hope and assurance on the citizenry through people-oriented programmes, designed to transform the economy of our great nation. You may recall that Mr. President himself kick-started the implementation of the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Housing Programme early this year with the development of 3,112 housing units in Karsana, Abuja.
3. We are here standing on the threshold of progress, ready to turn the vision to reality. This project is more than constructing buildings; it represents government’s commitment to creating a better, more sustainable environment where people can live, work and thrive in an integrated community.

We are incorporating latest sustainable building practices and green technologies to ensure that our homes are not only beautiful and comfortable but also environmentally friendly.
5. Beyond laying bricks, this project will offer a wide range of amenities that enhance the quality of life for the beneficiaries. It will provide the development of access roads, electricity, water supply and other essential infrastructure that improve standard of living. The project will also encourage economic growth and opportunities, create job opportunities during the construction phase and continue to generate economic benefits for years to come, all contributing to the prosperity of our Country.
6. I want to express my gratitude to the Honourable Minister, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, and the Honorable Minister of state, Engr. Abdullahi T. Gwarzo, for their visionary leadership in conceptualizing this laudable project. I also thank our partners and all the wonderful players that make this project possible.
