Belgore Inaugurates Housing Ministry 2025 Procurement Planning Committee.  

 

* Urges the committee to adhere to regulations of probity, transparency, accountability 

 

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Shuaib Belgore (OON), has inaugurated the Procurement Planning Committee (PPC) of the Ministry, for the 2025 financial year.

 

The committee under the Chairmanship of the Permanent Secretary, comprises representatives from all departments of the Ministry 

 

At the inauguration, Dr. Belgore stated that despite the fact that the 2025 budget which has been signed by President Bola Tinubu awaits further communication from the Budget office, he informed that the Secretary General of the Federation  (SGF), has authorized the commencement of the procurement activities for the year.

 

“ I have had a preview of the budget that has been approved by Mr. President, and I gladly tell you that what the ministry proposed is largely in tact, we have additions from quite a substantial volume of constituency project. We’re closing in very close to an additional 50 billion, It's a lot of work”, he said.

 

Accordingly, the Permanent Secretary outlined the Terms of Reference of the PPC to include; preparing the needs assessments and evaluation of procuring entities, Identifying goods, works, and services required, preparing an analysis of cost implications of the proposed procurement, and aggregating the requirements within the department to enable the possibility of obtaining an economy of scale.

 

He also emphasized on the need to aggregate requirements between departments, particularly the training needs of departments under one umbrella so that nearly every ministry staff member would benefit from training this year, and in turn integrate the Ministry’s expenditure into the yearly budget.

 

Belgore urged the members of the committee to adhere to regulations of probity, transparency, and accountability; emphasizing on the adoption of the template from the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) to help keep the mandate of the Ministry in view.

 

Similarly, he charged the committee members with dedication and hard work to the mandate of the Ministry, saying that he would reward all diligence.

 

He further encouraged all the departments to make their inputs required to get the Bills of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation (BEME), Bills of Quantities, and other required documents ready in due time, hoping that the 2025 budget would all commence by April, and contracts awarded by July, 2025. 

 

Earlier in her opening remarks, the Director Public Procurement of the Ministry,  Koriotaa Okobiah, (mrs), stated that the inauguration was in line with the provisions of sections 16 (1B) and 18 of the public procurement Act, 2007.

 

Mrs Okobiah informed that the inauguration also was in compliance with the circular from the Office of the Secretary General of the Federation (OSGF) for the preparation and submission of the procurement plan for the 2025 financial year and commencement of procurement activities.

 

“Various departments of the Ministry submitted their nominees to serve in the committee”, she added.

Dangiwa Warns Developers of Renewed Hope Housing Projects to Maintain High Construction Standards, Deliver Quality Work    •⁠  ⁠Threatens demolition of substandard work, revocation of contracts.   Housing and Urban Development Minister Arc Ahmed Musa Dangiwa has issued a strong warning to all developers of Renewed Hope Housing Estates and Cities across the thirteen locations nationwide to maintain high construction standards and deliver quality work and says " we will not tolerate any substandard work found on any Renewed Hope Project Site anywhere in the country”.   Dangiwa emphasised that construction must be based on contractual terms to ensure durability, stating that he will not hesitate to revoke contract of any substandard work.   “Under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, we are very committed to ensuring that the houses that we build and the infrastructure is of good quality. To all the developers and contractors on our Renewed Hope Housing Projects, I want them to know that we will not tolerate poor quality work from any developer or contractor. If we identify any substandard work at any of the project sites, we will first demolish the structure and the Contractor will have to rebuild as per standard or we revoke the contract entirely”, he warned.    The Minister spoke, friday when he led the Ministry’s officials including the Minister of State,  Rt Hon Yusuf Abdullahi Ata,  the Permanent,  Dr Shuaib Belgore and some Directors of the ministry on the inspection of the ongoing construction work of the 1,500  and 500 Housing Housing Unit Renewed Hope Housing City in Kano State which are being built via Public Private Partnership and Budgetary provision respectively.    “We are impressed with the pace of work at the 1,500 Housing Unit Renewed Hope City that we are building here in Kano through a Public Private Private Partnership (PPP) with a consortium of developers led by Continental Civil Engineering. I commend them for the speed and the workforce they have mobilised. For the 500-Housing Unit Renewed Hope City which we are funding under the 2023 Supplementary budget, the project is not moving at the pace that we expect and we want the developers to step things up so we can complete and commission”, he noted.    On the timeline, he said “ We also want the developers to adhere to the timeline and finish within two to three months    Accordingly,  he stated that the ministry of housing and urban development under the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, is very particular about giving Nigerians value for money, hence the government will not compromise on standard.   He also explained the economic impact of housing constructions, including job creation for masons, labourers , artisans, food vendors, blocks and other building materials suplliers, saying that the value chain effect of construction work is significant and creates a positive economic impact.   " We are making serious progress in our bid to actualize the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR for housing and urban development. Our plan is to build seven Renewed Hope Cities,  one in each geo- political zone and FCT. We currently ongoing construction for 2,000 units in Kano, 3,112 units in FCT and  2,000 in Lagos while other locations are scheduled to come on stream. We also have construction ongoing simultaneously at twelve (12) for Renewed Hope Estates 250 housing units each two per geo-political zone " Dangiwa stated.   The Minister also directed Federal Controllers and assigned Ministry monitoring personnel to ensure close supervision of work and escalation of all quality infringements for action to be taken while also warning them not to compromise their offices.  ...

Housing Ministry To Facilitate Reconstitution of SURCON - Belgore    The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, has given assurance that the Ministry would facilitate the reconstitution of the Surveyors Registration Council of Nigeria (SURCON) to enable it to function optimally.   Dr. Belgore gave the assurance when a delegation from SURCON paid him a courtesy visit in his office.    He stated that the ministry would write to the Presidency, highlighting the significance of the Council in the practice of surveying and its impact on the career advancement of members in the civil service and to request for the reconstitution of the SURCON, assuring appropriate follow-up to secure the necessary consideration.   "Without the Council in place, crucial processes such as promotions within the profession will be halted," Belgore noted   The Ninth Council of SURCON was dissolved in June 2023 along with other federal boards and councils.   Established by Decree 44 of 1989 (now Cap S.18 Law of the Federation of Nigeria 2004), SURCON is responsible for the registration and regulation of surveyors in Nigeria.    The 59-member Council determines professional standards, sets registration requirements, and periodically reviews the standards to ensure best practices in the profession.   On the issue of funding, Dr. Belgore advised SURCON to explore grant opportunities through the Ministry, recommending that the Council submit a formal request outlining its financial challenges and justifications for government intervention.   Similarly, he encouraged SURCON to be proactive in seeking financial support from stakeholders to enhance its self-sufficiency.   Earlier, the Registrar of SURCON, Surv. Kunle Olugbemiro, stated that the aimed of the visit was to appeal for the intervention of the ministry for the reconstitution of the council and secure financial support.   He noted that while SURCON previously received funding through the Federal Government’s Appropriation Act and internally generated revenue (IGR), federal funding was withdrawn in December 2023, severely impacting the Council’s regulatory functions, including the monitoring of surveying practices.   Olugbemiro outlined SURCON’s main IGR sources, including practice fees, registration fees, enlistment fees, sale of publications, and accreditation visitation fees.   On his part, the President of Surveyors Council of Nigeria and Surveyor General of the Federation, Surv. Abdulganiyu Adebomehin, while emphasizing the urgency of reconstituting the council, highlighted that meetings and examinations cannot be conducted without a properly constituted Council.    He appealed for the Ministry to urgently interven and also advocated for financial support to enable the Council to pay gratuities to its retiring officers.   The meeting concluded with the presentation of a formal brief on SURCON to the Permanent Secretary. ...

KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY THE HON. MINISTER OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AT THE MINISTRY’S 2025 SECTOR RETREAT, HELD AT RADISSON BLU HOTEL, IKEJA, LAGOS, ON WEDNESDAY, 19TH FEBRUARY 2025.

 

Protocols

 

  1. This is the first Housing and Urban Development Sector Retreat we are holding as a Ministry since assuming office about seventeen (17) months ago. It could not have come at a better time, as we are just about to enter another budget year following the recent passage of the 2025 Appropriation Bill by the National Assembly.

 

  1. This Retreat is also special due to the participation of the Distinguished Chairmen and Members of the National Assembly Committees that oversee our Ministry. We are also joined by several other critical housing sector stakeholders, including Chairmen and members of the Reform Task Teams we set up, who have done excellent work, as well as professionals from the private sector.

 

  1. Together, we have gathered here a distinguished pool of personalities to brainstorm, interact, and share knowledge, ideas, and insights on how to actualize the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

 

  1. Before I proceed, I want to take a moment to specially appreciate the Chairmen and Distinguished Members of the National Assembly. When the Budget Office presented their budget, the Ministry initially received a significant reduction from the amount provided in 2024.

 

  1. We engaged with the National Assembly Committees, and they intervened to increase our budget by an additional N50 billion. They deserve a big round of applause from us all on behalf of Nigerians. What they have done is not for us as individuals but for the many Nigerians who will benefit from the Ministry’s interventions, the additional jobs that will be created, the businesses and individuals that will be empowered through our increased capacity to offset inherited liabilities, and the positive impact on the economy.

 

  1. While we are deeply grateful for this increase, like Oliver Twist, we would like to ask for more. If you recall, we had made a strong case for an additional N360 billion to enable us to expand the coverage and spread of Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Estates to 18 more states, expand our urban renewal program to cover over 100 more sites and to take care of liabilities alongside others.

 

  1. The N50 billion is a good start. We will continue to engage with our National Assembly stakeholders, whom we hold in the highest esteem, as well as the Budget Office. In fact, I have set up a Stakeholders Management Team, led by the Hon. Minister of State and the Permanent Secretary, in whom I am well pleased, to ensure that we are proactive in carrying critical stakeholders along in all our activities.

 

  1. What I have been advocating for, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is that as a country and a government, we must prioritize housing as a catalyst for economic growth. Investment in housing and urban development is not only a moral necessity but also an economic imperative. When we provide people with decent homes and build livable communities, we are not only improving their quality of life, making them proud and patriotic Nigerians, but we are also developing the economy and ensuring national security.

 

  1. Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, Mr. President listed housing as critical infrastructure, in the same category as roads, bridges, and others. What we are engaging with relevant ministries and stakeholders in government to correct is the continuing mismatch between the required interventions in housing and the budgetary allocation. It is a great irony that housing still receives only a fraction of what is allocated to other similar infrastructure sectors despite its massive potential as a catalyst for economic growth.

 

  1. As stakeholders, you would agree that there have been several attempts by previous administrations over the past 50 years to fix Nigeria’s housing problems.

 

  1. If you look at the state of the housing sector today, you will see that the results are not encouraging. We have a huge housing deficit, with the majority of Nigeria’s 43 million households living in substandard housing. Additionally, the majority of our cities are surrounded by slums.

 

  1. Our sector is one that has suffered political neglect since the period immediately after independence, when emphasis was placed on five-yearly Development Plans as the vehicle for economic growth.

 

  1. Under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, we are determined to make a difference. We are optimistic and encouraged by the possibilities that the future holds, rather than the failures of the past. Just because programs failed in the past does not mean they will fail today.

 

  1. As you all know, leaders matter in the history of nation-building, and what they bring to the table also matters. That is what Mr. President represents, and we intend to replicate his CAN-DO SPIRIT at the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, together with all stakeholders, to rewrite the history of housing and urban development.

 

  1. We want the Renewed Hope Era for Housing to be the reference point for generations to come for massive and comprehensive housing and urban development.

 

  1. We deliberately chose “Actualizing the Renewed Hope Agenda for Housing and Urban Development” as the theme of this Retreat. At this Retreat, we aim to review what we have done so far toward actualizing Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda for Housing and Urban Development, interrogate our challenges and successes, explore opportunities, and set out a clear pathway to ramp up the tempo of our activities.

 

  1. For the sake of establishing immediate context, it is important that I lay out the Action Plan which Mr. President handed to us when we assumed duty. This includes:

 

  1. Increasing the supply and availability of decent and affordable housing to Nigerians.

 

  1. Implementing land reforms to improve land administration, thereby unlocking the capacity of the real estate sector to contribute to economic growth and grow the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

 

  1. Reforming federal housing institutions, including the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), to better deliver on their mandates.

 

  1. Establishing a National Social Housing Fund (NSHF) to mobilize and administer concessionary funding for the provision of decent shelter for no-income, low-income, underprivileged, and internally displaced Nigerians.

 

  1. Establishing Manufacturing Hubs—one in each of the six geo-political zones of the country.

 

  1. Implementing a Multi-Agency Project Delivery Framework to ensure proper coordination among all housing institutions in the delivery of housing, ensuring alignment along the same focus.

 

  1. Expanding the National Urban Renewal and Slum Upgrade Program.

 

  1. The question I ask myself is how much progress we have made toward achieving these goals. If history were our reference point, we would say that we are doing well. The biggest achievement of the eight years before we came on board was the National Housing Programme, which started in 2016 with plans to build 7,522 housing units. Over the eight years, only 3,388 were completed.

 

  1. On our part, within 17 months, we have 14 active construction sites for a total of 10,112 housing units. With the pace of work at these sites—many already at roofing levels—we are on course to have all these units and more completed within a maximum three-year period.

 

  1. However, history is not our reference point. The size of the housing problem, which requires us to build at least 500,000 housing units annually, is what we have set our eyes on. On this front, we are not even scratching the surface.

 

  1. Regarding the Ministerial Deliverable of increasing the supply of at least 20,000 housing units annually, which is our immediate target, we can say that with 10,112 housing units under construction in 14 locations nationwide, we are making progress.

 

  1. Another area where we are making good progress is in reforming the land administration system in our country. This is a longstanding problem that has been listed in all policies and whitepapers on housing since independence over 50 years ago. The aim is to develop an effective land administration system to make land ownership available, secure, accessible, and easily transferable at affordable rates.

 

  1. First, we set up a Land Reform Task Team, which has submitted a comprehensive blueprint on strategies and initiatives that the Ministry can implement to achieve effective governance of lands in our country. This is a subject of deliberation at this Summit.

 

  1. Second, we are currently working with the World Bank, in partnership with state governments, toward the implementation of a National Land Registration and Titling Programme. The plan is to increase the formalization of land transactions in the country by 50% over a ten-year period. This would unlock over $150 billion in dead capital and help increase Nigeria’s GDP by 30%. The World Bank was here on the first Technical Mission in November last year and is scheduled to return for the second mission in early March.

 

  1. On institutional reforms, the establishment of a National Social Housing Fund, and Building Materials Manufacturing Hubs, we have received the reports of the Task Teams, reviewed their recommendations internally, and are clear on the next steps. These positions will also be presented here at the Retreat for additional inputs from stakeholders.

 

  1. Additionally, we have upscaled and expanded our National Urban Renewal and Slum Upgrade Programme in line with the urban development component of our mandate. We currently have over 100 projects completed in several locations nationwide to improve the livability of Nigerians in semi-urban, rural areas, and villages.

 

  1. 2025 will be an ACTION YEAR for us at the Ministry. We aim to move with speed to get all these reforms off the ground. However, this is only possible with your support and input. WE HAVE A BIG HOUSING PROBLEM, AND WE INTEND TO APPROACH FIXING IT IN A BIG WAY. SMALL EFFORTS WILL NOT TAKE US ANYWHERE.

 

  1. We are fully aware that a key part of the Ministry’s mandate is policy formulation. In this direction, we have also made notable progress. The Ministry worked with UN-Habitat to produce a National Urban Development Policy, which is pending presentation and approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

 

  1. The Policy outlines a framework for coordinating a 10-year program of action for sustainable urbanization in our country. Through this, we aim to domesticate and customize the goals of signed international policies, operationalize national policies in multiple sectors, and create cities that work for all residents.

 

  1. The NUDP is prepared with the objective of harnessing well-managed urbanization as an engine of growth for the national economy.

 

  1. We have also exhaustively studied the National Housing Strategy Report 2023, which was launched by my predecessor. I must acknowledge that the team that developed it, in liaison with FMDQs, PWC, and several other members from the Ministry and the industry, did a thorough job. It is a well-researched, Ministry-sponsored research and strategy paper on housing. However, because most of the data used was from 2019, and so much has changed within the macroeconomic environment, especially in the last three years, we are looking to review and update it.

 

  1. Furthermore, we are working to create a framework for the establishment of a Real Estate Regulatory Authority. I must give credit and acknowledge the tireless efforts and advocacy of the House of Representatives Committee Chairman on Housing and Habitat, Abdulmumin Jibrin, for this initiative. We consider it necessary and are committed to working with the House Committee and all stakeholders to actualize it.

 

  1. We have also taken note and are working on ways and strategies to ensure that Nigerians use properties only as designated in city plans. This is also a key point of concern for the Hon. Chairman, House Committee on Urban Development, Hon. Abiante. We shall be engaging with the Committee to actualize this as well.

 

  1. In conclusion, distinguished guests and stakeholders, this retreat marks a pivotal moment in our collective journey to transform Nigeria’s housing and urban development landscape.

 

  1. The discussions, insights, and collaborations we will foster here over the next two days reaffirm our shared commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. As we discuss, engage, and share ideas at this retreat, let us carry with us the spirit of urgency, innovation, and collaboration. Let us remember that housing is not just a roof over one’s head; it is a foundation for economic growth, social stability, and national pride. Together, we have the power to rewrite the narrative of housing and urban development in Nigeria.

 

  1. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. God bless you all.

PROTOCOL

Chairman, Senate Committee on Housing and Urban Development

Chairman, House Committee on Housing and Habitat

Chairman, House Committee on Urban and Regional Development,

Distinguished Chief Executives of Agencies

The Media and members of the Press,

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

It is with great honor and privilege that I stand before you today as we gather for this critical sector retreat.  This retreat is not just an assembly of stakeholders; it is a convergence of visionaries, policy-makers, and practitioners, united in our collective ambition to transform the housing and urban development sector in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of this administration.

 

Housing and urban development are central to National progress. They are key drivers of economic growth, social stability and improved quality of life. However, despite significant efforts in the past, we still grapple with the challenges of a housing deficit, inadequate infrastructure, and rapid urbanization. These challenges demand innovative solutions, bold strategies, and a commitment to collaboration among all stakeholders.

 

Over the course of the day, we shall be highlighting the progress that we are making towards actualizing the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President for Housing and Urban Development and look forward to feedback from all Participants on the data insights and technical details that will be shared during this retreat.

 

  • The Renewed Hope Agenda: A Strategic Imperative

The Renewed Hope Agenda for housing and urban development is a transformative vision that seeks to ensure that every Nigerian has access to affordable, decent, and sustainable housing. Our mission is clear: to create inclusive cities, unlock economic opportunities in the housing sector, and drive large-scale housing delivery.

 

Key Strategies for Implementation

To actualize this agenda, we are focusing on the following key strategies:

  1. Accelerated Housing Delivery at Scale:
    • Partnering with the private sector and Development Finance Institutions to unlock funding and drive mass housing projects.
    • Expanding the Renewed Hope Estates and Cities Programme and National Housing Programme to reach more States and underserved communities.
    • Strengthening Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to facilitate large-scale investments in housing.
  2. Access to Affordable Housing Finance:
    • Enhancing mortgage penetration through improved policies and financial incentives.
    • Expanding the reach of the National Housing Fund (NHF) and deepening collaboration with Primary Mortgage Banks (PMBs).
    • Supporting innovative homeownership schemes, including rent-to-own and cooperative housing models.
  3. Slum Upgrade and Urban Regeneration:
    • Implementing an inclusive Urban Renewal and Slum Upgrade Framework to address informal settlements and slums.
    • Strengthening collaboration with State Governments on sustainable city planning.
    • Enhancing infrastructure development to improve the livability of our urban centers.
  4. Innovative Building Technologies and Sustainability:
    • Promoting the adoption of local building materials and Green construction practices.
    • Encouraging digital technology and automation in housing development.
    • Driving climate-resilient and energy-efficient housing solutions.
  5. Legislative and Policy Reforms:
    • Reviewing and streamlining land acquisition and titling processes to reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks.
    • Strengthening the Land Use Act (1978) to facilitate easier access to land for housing development.
    • Enhancing housing policies that align with global best practices and sustainable development goals.

Identifying Opportunities to Boost Scale and Impact

Beyond strategies, we must explore emerging opportunities that can help us scale our efforts and achieve maximum impact. These include:

  • Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Housing: Encouraging global investment into Nigeria’s real estate sector.
  • Diaspora Investment in Housing Development: Engaging Nigerians in the diaspora in housing finance and property development.
  • Institutional Housing Development Funds: Mobilizing pension and sovereign wealth funds for long-term investment in housing.
  • Youth and Women Empowerment in Housing Delivery: Supporting skills development and entrepreneurship in the housing value chain.

Call to Action

As we deliberate today, I urge us all to contribute actively to shaping a pragmatic and results-driven Roadmap.  We must not only develop policies but also ensure their effective implementation. I assure you of this Ministry’s commitment to supporting policies and programs that will drive affordable housing, improve urban planning, and enhance sustainable development. Working together, we can make the Renewed Hope Agenda a reality for all Nigerians.

 

Conclusion
Let this retreat be a defining moment in our journey toward a reformed and revitalized housing and urban development sector. Let us seize this opportunity to align our collective efforts, leverage our resources, and implement solutions that will leave a lasting impact on future generations.

 

Thank you and I look forward to our productive discussions and outcomes.
