FHA Expands Affordable Housing Across 28 Nigerian States

The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has secured prime land across 28 states in Nigeria as part of its initiative to expand affordable housing projects. Ezekiel Etuk, the Executive Director of Estate Services at FHA, announced this development during a groundbreaking ceremony for the FHA Green City Estate in Abuja on Wednesday.

The agency has already begun construction activities in several states, including Akwa Ibom, Abia, and Kaduna. Etuk stated that the governors of these states have provided the necessary land to commence construction.

The FHA aims to deliver 336 housing units in Bwari, Abuja, by the end of the year. This project is part of a broader reform to improve service delivery and property management.

The FHA has faced challenges in delivering housing units over the past 26 months but is committed to upholding high standards of quality and transparency. The initiative is expected to create employment opportunities and stimulate ancillary industries, contributing to Nigeria's economic growth.
