FG Plans To Construct 1,000 Homes For Residents In Ondo
As part of the first stage of its affordable housing strategy, the federal government claims plans are in place to construct 1,000 dwelling units in Ondo State.
According to the Federal Government, the first phase of its affordable housing project will include the construction of 1,000 dwelling units in Ondo State.
The Federal Housing Authority's Managing Director and Chief Executive, Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, made this statement on Friday in Akure while paying Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State a courtesy call.
Ojo stated that the goal of the visit was to secure the state government's cooperation on the project, which he predicted would begin before the year ends.
He says that the program is a component of President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and would be carried out nationwide.
Ojo continued, saying that the project would support the administration's initiatives to improve the welfare of the locals.
Aiyedatiwa's administration was commended by the managing director later on for the accomplishments made during his brief tenure.
“We at Federal Housing Authority decided that before we embark on any project in a state, we must visit the state and consult with the government.
“This is also to ensure that we do not impose our designs on any state, rather we build according to the peculiar needs of each state.
“So, this is why we want to partner with Ondo State Government, not only for you to provide us with land, but so that you can guide us on how best to satisfy the housing needs of the people of the state.
“There will be studio rooms, one-bedroom and the rest so that many low-income residents, especially young people, can afford them just like it is applicable in advanced countries.
“We are also looking at carcass. We can build the structures and do the exterior but leave the finishing to be done by the occupant. Let the person do the finishing according to their taste or finance,” he said.
“We have members of our team here to interact with your team to ensure that we give you all you need to make a success of this project because we are happy this is coming to us at this time.
In response, Aiyedatiwa stated that his administration would provide the necessary backing for the project's success and thanked Ojo and the authorities for selecting Ondo as one of the scheme's early beneficiaries.
The governor, while congratulating Ojo on his appointment, commended his choice to initiate this kind of travel to engage in discussions with the host states prior to implementation.
“I want to assure you that we will key into this laudable initiative and play a pivotal role because we want to be part of progress in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President and to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.
“Shelter is one of the major provisions a government can give to its people and housing is in short supply in the state.
“So, this is a welcome development for us and we are ready to partner with you on the project,” he said.
