8,925 Apply for FG Housing – Dangiwa

 
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development announced that 8,925 individuals have expressed interest in the reallocation of houses built under the National Housing Programme (NHP). Housing Minister Ahmed Dangiwa shared this information during a sectoral ministerial press briefing, marking President Bola Tinubu's first year in office in Abuja.
 
Launched under the Buhari administration in 2021, the NHP aims to provide affordable housing through homeownership and rental schemes for Nigerians in both urban and rural areas.

Last year, the ministry revoked provisional allocation letters offered to NHP subscribers due to a need to review the conditions and procedures for house sales. This revocation affected beneficiaries from the first to the 14th batch of the program. After revising the conditions, the ministry reopened applications for houses in 34 states.
 
During the press briefing, Minister Dangiwa announced that expression of interest forms were re-advertised with four subscription options to accommodate all income levels: outright purchase, mortgage, rent-to-own, and installment payments. “We received a total of 8,925 expressions of interest, with 1,294 for outright purchase, 2,408 for mortgage, 2,184 for rent-to-own, and 3,039 for installment payment,” Dangiwa said. 
 
He added that the first batch of successful applicants received their provisional allocation letters in May. "Last month, we issued the first batch of new provisional allocation letters for outright payment to successful applicants," he stated.

The government aims to increase affordable housing units by an additional 50,000 per year and has initiated urban and slum upgrading programs to improve living conditions, infrastructure, and basic services in informal settlements. These programs also include policies promoting inclusivity for vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities, women, and the elderly. “The government has approved a total of N126.5 billion from the 2023 supplementary and 2024 budget for these projects, including slum upgrades and urban renewal,” Dangiwa added.
