Dangiwa Hails Tinubu, Says Strong Foundations Laid For Housing Delivery

Former Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, has expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu following his exit from the Federal Executive Council, describing his tenure as both a privilege and a national duty.

In a statement issued Tuesday after the cabinet reshuffle, Dangiwa said he was honoured to have served under Tinubu’s administration and to contribute to the government’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” particularly in efforts to expand access to affordable housing.

“I sincerely thank Mr. President for the confidence reposed in me… It has been a rare privilege to advance policies and programmes aimed at improving housing access for Nigerians,” he said.

The outgoing minister pointed to key initiatives undertaken during his tenure, including the rollout of the Renewed Hope Housing Programme, efforts to deepen public-private partnerships, and reforms in land administration and housing finance. He maintained that these interventions helped reposition the housing sector as a driver of economic growth, job creation, and social inclusion.

Dangiwa also acknowledged the support of cabinet colleagues, development partners, and ministry staff, noting that their collaboration helped lay “strong foundations for a more structured and sustainable housing delivery system.”

While pledging a smooth handover to the incoming leadership, he expressed confidence that the ministry would consolidate on existing reforms and accelerate housing delivery nationwide.
