In separate visits to the Governors of Ekiti state and Lagos state, the new Managing Director/CEO of Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Hon. Oyetunde Ojo has called on state governments to support the agency to achieve its aim of making low-cost homes available for Nigerians.
During his meeting with Gov. Abiodun Oyebanji in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state, Hon. Ojo remarked: ‘Our management found it necessary to go around the states to meet the governors and seek collaboration to provide houses to Nigerians. As the custodian of land in the state we intend to ask for land to enable us to build for their people.’
In the same vein, he told Gov. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu that the new ‘end user driven’ policy of the FHA management was to partner with the state on designs that suit local preferences. ‘We are here to ask for land, after the land we then talk about the kind of houses to deliver. We don’t want to impose any designs on you. We want to collaborate with you and share knowledge and experiences with you’, TheMediaGood Newspaper can report.
The move of the FHA boss is in line with affordable housing which is a key point in the agenda of the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
