The Renewed Hope Housing programme keeps getting boost across the country as the Nasarawa State Government has given 25 hectares of land to Federal Housing Authority for project.

This was disclosed by Governor Abdullahi Sule when the Managing Director and Chief Executive, Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, led a team of his management on a courtesy visit to him.

The FHA boss in his address commended the Governor for his developmental strides in the state, especially in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture and the welfare of the workers and pensioners.

The MD informed Governor Sule that his major reason for visit is to bring the message of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the Renewed Hope Housing initiative to Nasarawa state.

According to Hon Ojo, Nasarawa is the 22nd state FHA management has visited with this message over the past weeks.
He reminded the Governor that Federal Housing Authority is saddled with the responsibility of housing Nigerians and developing cities. It is because of this he said that the President deemed it fit to appoint a new management for FHA under him saddled with this responsibility.

President Tinubu, he noted, attaches serious importance in not just providing houses for Nigerians, but livable and affordable ones.

Hon Ojo told Governor Sule that FHA through the value chain of Housing construction intends to help fight Inflation and insecurity by creating several jobs.

He informed the Governor that the Authority is one of the beneficiaries the funds recently approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC). With the fund, the MD said FHA is poised to go to into massive housing construction.

However, he told Governor Sule that the Authority can not do much without having land.

In his words, “We can not achieve all these without land. That is why we are here, for you to help us get this land.”

“In seeking this land, we appeal that you help us remove the bottle neck of payment of compensation and other encumbrances,”

The FHA Chief Executive informed the governor that the Authority would definitely reciprocate such waiver that would save it a lot of cost by returning some Housing units back to the State for the lower Cadre of her workers.

He reiterated the Authority’s stance on collaboration with states in designs and planning, reaffirming FHA Management’s decision not to stay in Abuja and impose designs on people.

He clarified that the move is in cognizance of differences in people’s culture.

In his response, Gov Sule appreciated the Management for coming to Nasarawa, applauding the President’s apolitical stance of the programme and his determination.
