Earlier today, President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned 748 Housing Units in the Federal Housing Authority Estate located in Zuba, Abuja. The entire estate is situated on 18.5 hectares of land area. During the project’s execution, over 13,000 Nigerians were employed both directly and indirectly.
At the commissioning, President Muhammadu Buhari presented keys to some new homeowners in the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Estate Zuba, who subscribed through the FHA Rent-to-Own delivery model, urging them to live together in peace and harmony.
The President commended the Chairman, Managing Director, Members of the Board and Staff of FHA on the successful completion of the Estate. He noted that the project was another testament to his administration’s commitment to lifting people out of poverty.
In his address, Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Works and Housing, said “we now have 748 completed housing units for Nigerians and their families to shelter,’’ adding that 75 contractors were engaged in the course of the project.
The Managing Director of FHA, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, described the commissioning of the project as a manifestation of the visionary and deliberate housing policy of the President. He further added that the Authority has also commenced the development of Bwari Estate, Abuja, near the Nigeria Law School. The project will deliver 336 units of various houses under the first phase of the plan.
