The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola said the ministry would soon commence the sale of housing units built under the National Housing Programme, nationwide. He said this would be done through an online subscription to allow for transparency and reduce human interference to the barest in the allocation process.
Speaking at a one-day stakeholders’ engagement forum organised by the Lagos State Real Estate Transactions Department, Mr. Fashola represented by Mrs. Sarah Alawode, Controller, Federal Ministry of Housing said that housing, apart from being one of the major needs of man, holds great potential for the economic wellbeing of Lagos State and Nigeria at large.
‘It therefore behooves us all to ensure that the art and practice of housing delivery in all ramifications are advanced for the benefit of the country and teeming population seeking shelter on a daily basis.’
The minister charged other states to play a more active role to ensure a better experience for citizens in the area of land and security of land transaction, thereby attracting investment.
