We have defined type of house Nigerians are reasonable can afford. When we were concern about the house, we learn from the significant disadvantages of Shagari’s housing plan. The project was done generally across the world and therefore does not meet the required preference based on the peculiarities of the state.
Take, for instance, there are some states where people like to farm in their houses.
We also have the issues of the land as they belong to the state. We have completed the houses of 34 states where the Governors gave us lands.
We also have service scheme, where people don’t want people to build for them, they just want the government to build basic social infrastructure.
All over the world, the truth is not everybody will own a home, so federal mortgage bank also provide home reformation, to reduce rent for them.
We also grant consent to land transactions.
But it will not be enough if all the state is not involved.
So Nigerian housing performance is incomplete if we don’t consider what the private sectors are also doing. this is how the economy gets underway.
They are thriving because of our economic policy.
As for federal roads we now have over 600 road contracts at different states, about 222 major road between 2020 and 2021, we have lost 3 months dues to the COVID-19. But we will pick up hopefully when more progress have been made in the cause of controlling the virus.
Whether road in the road and housing, we are impacting lives many of us may never come into contact with.
Contractors who gets award don’t keep laterite stock, they will have to buy. President Buhari’s will take value to the seller.
Apapa owowshoki for instance, we have used 5000 trucks, so imagine 6000 laterites from your land. And that is happening across Nigeria.
There is also a supplier who the contractors have give to sub contractor. Who pays say 30,000 a day. The driver gets 7,000 days ans she keeps 13,000. At the site the laborers is waiting, he will be employed and that is how the chain of empowerment goes
