The Executive Governor of Plateau states, Caleb Mutfwang has allocated over 100 hectares of land to Federal Housing Authority for the Renewed Hope Housing project in the State.

This was made known on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the state governor by the Authority’s Managing Director and Chief Executive, Hon Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo, and his management team.

Ojo, in his address, thanked the governor for graciously allocating land to FHA, saying it demonstrated his zeal to serve his people.

While he commended the governor for the sustained development of the state, which he said is visible from the various projects going on, especially the massive support agriculture and farmers are receiving.

The MD asserted that the main purpose of the visit was to bring to him the message of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the need to house Nigerians, through the Renewed Hope Agenda programme on Housing, reiterating Mr President’s directives on not only giving Nigerians houses, but livable and affordable ones.

Stressing on the importance Tinubu attaches to adequate shelter for Nigerians, Ojo reminded the governor that from his manifesto during the campaign, the president holds housing very high in the welfarism theory.

He said, “Therefore, in the fulfillment of that promise, he deemed it fit to appoint the new FHA management, which he is leading to go round the country for its holistic implementation and help fix the housing challenges of Nigerians.

“The Authority has come to request for land for the Renewed Hope project. Intentions to collaborate with the state in the designs and planning of the project, in line with the resolve of FHA management to consult with every state government before projects are sited.

“we are not management that would sit in Abuja and impose designs on the people of Plateau State. It is the people from the state that would live in the houses. That is why we want to consult with you because you know the culture and taste of your people better.

“The Authority would also return some houses back to the State Government in lieu of the compensation for the people. FHA has a Diaspora initiative, where it would create a city within a city that can compete with any modern city anywhere.

“This would serve the interest of the people at the high end, while FHA builds for the masses. The Authority would create such homes comparable with what we see in the high brow areas of Abuja and Lagos.
