NASS restates commitment to providing Nigerians affordable housing
The Senator representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, Aminu Tambuwal has said the National Assembly is dedicated to giving all Nigerians access to reasonably priced housing.
Tambuwal, a former Sokoto State governor, revealed this on Thursday in Kaduna at the 12th meeting of the National Council on Lands, Housing and Urban Development.
The meeting had as its theme: ‘Harnessing Local and International Credit Schemes as a Panacea for Affordable Housing Infrastructure Development Under the Renewed Hope Agenda’.
Tambuwal, the Senate Committee on Housing and Urban Development’s Chairman, declared, “We will develop workable and feasible ideas to mobilise resources both domestically and globally to achieve housing for all.”
“It is a herculean task but it is surmountable. Investments in construction help to redistribute wealth and NASS will partner all the stakeholders to provide housing to the teeming populace.”
According to him, the National Assembly is committed to doing the right thing to ensure that all Nigerians get befitting houses.
Tambuwal said, ”Working together, we will be able to address the challenges of this all-important sector in our national lives.
”The theme is apt and relevant as without funding, we cannot go anywhere. Providing affordable funding has been part of the problems of the sector.”
