The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Muttaqha Darma, has announced that the government aims to surpass the 100,000 housing units goal set by President Bola Tinubu. Speaking during a visit to the National Housing Programme (NHP) estate and the Renewed Hope Civil Service Estate in Abuja, Darma emphasized the housing sector's significant role as a major employer.
He highlighted that the excavation phase of the NHP project, which involved constructing 110 blocks of two-bedroom flats, employed more than 1,900 individuals. Darma predicts that as the projects advance to subsequent stages, the number of jobs will increase, involving a wide range of skilled and unskilled workers. He expressed confidence that the federal government will achieve the ambitious target of delivering 100,000 housing units to Nigerians before the end of President Tinubu's first term in office.
