Dangiwa made this revelation in a meeting held in Abuja with the delegation from the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) led by Dr. Karin Jansen, first Secretary and Head of Cooperation.
PEEB is a programme by the German Development Cooperation which seeks to build on the efforts of the Nigerian Energy Support Programme to scale up energy efficiency improvements across Nigeria’s building sector.

The minister lauded the PEEB program, noting that it echoed the vision of the Ministry under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to provide houses and create sustainable, climate-resilient, and energy-efficient communities across Nigeria.

While recognising the building and construction sector as a significant contributor to energy consumption and carbon emissions, he emphasised on the importance of promoting energy efficiency and green building practices;

“it is essential to meet national climate goals and ensure a livable future for generations to come”.
“Here in Nigeria, we see strong potential to adapt a similar green mortgage model especially within the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) under the National Housing Fund (NHF) Scheme, to drive the supply and uptake of energy-efficient affordable homes under our Renewed Hope Housing Programme”, he remarked.

He expressed the commitment of the Ministry to mainstreaming sustainability and climate resilience, demonstrated through strategic partnership with IFC EDGE, a global green building certification platform, to train technical officers of the Ministry, developers, and project managers on sustainable building practices.

Dangiwa, as well informed of his directives that climate-smart, green, and energy-efficient standards be incorporated in housing designs under the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Programme, as well as all future ministry-led housing initiatives.

Accordingly, the minister outlined plans by the ministry to include a review of the National Building Code, establishment of Building Materials Manufacturing Hubs, and the upgrading of National Urban Renewal Programme to ensure that it embeds resilience and green infrastructure into slum upgrading efforts.

Speaking further, Arc. Dangiwa highlighted strong opportunities for collaboration between the ministry and GIZ in several key areas, including technical assistance, public awareness campaigns, capacity building, advisory support to access climate finance and blended finance mechanisms.

Earlier, the Country Director of GIZ, Markus Wagner highlighted the longstanding cooperation between Nigeria and Germany, noting that the two countries signed a Bilateral Economic Relations agreement in 1974, formalized in 2008 under the German-Nigeria Energy Partnership, which identified the energy sector as a key area of collaboration.

Wagner stated that GIZ has played a vital role in Nigeria by working closely with government stakeholders, providing advisory services that promote investment, innovative and sustainable solutions, as well as climate-resilient practices across the energy sector.

He revealed the intentions of GIZ through the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) and the Partnership for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PEEB) to collaborate with the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
