The Federal Government has instructed the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) to collaborate with state governors in developing bankable housing projects that will deliver homeownership solutions directly to Nigerians.
The directive was issued by the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, during the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria Day at the 19th Africa International Housing Show held in Abuja.
Represented by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Mark Chieshe, Dangiwa highlighted that the move aligns with the government’s Renewed Hope State-by-State Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign — a strategic initiative designed to bridge the gap between federal housing policy and state-level implementation.
According to the minister, this collaboration is expected to significantly reduce Nigeria’s housing deficit by harnessing the combined expertise and resources of both federal and state governments. He emphasized that bringing housing solutions closer to citizens remains a top priority for the current administration.
