Minister Woos Investors for Niger State Housing and Agriculture Project

Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance, calls on investors to back a mass housing and agriculture settlement project in Niger State during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MOFI and the Niger State Government. The project, designed to be replicable across Nigeria, focuses on integrating housing and agriculture to enhance rural economies and improve livelihoods.

Edun highlights the project's potential to attract private investments, create jobs, and stimulate economic activities. The initiative aims to address challenges such as insecurity, rural-urban migration, and inadequate infrastructure that hinder agricultural productivity in Niger State.

By leveraging public assets and private investments, the project seeks to ensure transparency, risk-sharing, and sustainable economic growth. The housing settlements are cost-effective and tailored to low and middle-income earners, promoting inclusivity and economic development.
