In a bid to ensure it achieves the renewal hope agenda of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government, the management of the Federal Housing Authority under the leadership of Hon Oyetunde Ojo has said Nigerians, in general, would be proud of his commitment as he’s determined to deliver of the agenda of the President in providing accommodations for Nigerian people, a mandate he can not afford to fail.

The Managing Director/CE of Federal Housing Authority gave the assurance while chatting with newsmen in Ekiti State shortly after meeting with the governor of the state, Abiodun Oyebanji.

Ojo who led other members of management to Ekiti on a visitation tour sought the cooperation of the state governors.

Ojo who said he was ready and committed to meeting the yearning of the average Nigerian in getting liveable and affordable accommodations, charged the governors on the need for them to help the housing authority actualize its aims by providing them land and other necessary support.

Ojo informed Governor Oyebanji that he would tour all the southwestern states and said the visit was primarily to get the State Government’s buy-in in the Authority’s drive to make houses available to Nigerians of all classes in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President.

Ojo stated that the new FHA management under his leadership has decided that people would have to take ownership of projects that are delivered for them.

He opined that the best way to have this buy-in is to interact with them.

He said: “Our management found it necessary to go around the states to meet the governors and seek collaboration to provide houses to Nigerians. As the custodian of land in the state we intend to ask for land to enable us to build for their people”

The MD told the governor that his team had come to ask for land in Ekiti State to build houses for the people.

He explained that the Authority has come up with various types of houses and models that all classes of Nigerians can benefit from.

He said FHA would be building more of one-bedrooms and studio apartments as well as delivering houses in carcas.

According to him, the Authority would do the electrical and plumbing fittings with a prototype exterior.

This he said will stop the needless expensive luxurious finishing that affects the cost of houses, and allow individuals to finish the houses to their taste and capacity.

Responding, Governor Oyebanji appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing a worthy son of the state in the person of Honourable Oyetunde as the Chief Executive of the Federal Housing Authority.

He thanked the MD and his team for choosing Ekiti State to begin the tour of the South West zone.

On the request for land, the governor promised to make as much land as the Authority needed available provided it would be developed within a specific time frame.

He, therefore, commended FHA management for the vision of consulting all states which would help to know individual state needs, culture, and challenges that will make them take ownership of the houses built for them.
