“This is what a responsible government is supposed to do and we are seeing it now under the present government” he added

Minister Dangiwa told the developers of the  Renewed Hope Estate project across the country to ensure completion of the project  within the three months stipulated period to enable Nigerians in the respective states occupying the houses as quickly as possible.

The second round of groundbreaking covers eight states in the South and North-Central zones of the country, namely; Ebonyi, Abia,  Akwa Ibom, Delta, Osun, Oyo, Benue and Nasarawa State, each comprising 250 housing units, and making a total of 2,000 units in the round.

Dangiwa said “ By the end of this second round, we would have broken ground for a total of 6,612 housing units across the country since February this year, creating direct and indirect jobs for over 165,000 at an average of 25 jobs per unit”

The 250 housing units in Abia, just like in each of the states, will consist of 50 units of 1-bedroom semi-detached bungalows, 150 units of 2-bedroom semi-detached bungalows, and 50 units of 3-bedroom semi-detached bungalows.

On the sales for the houses, the minister said “We have created different options to enable everyone who has a source of income and livelihood to own these homes when they are completed”
