Darma: FG Committed to Right Environment for Housing Investment

Nigeria's federal government, under the Renewed Hope Agenda, is actively working to create an optimal environment for housing investment. Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Muttaqha Darma, emphasized this commitment during a meeting with Dr. Olayemi Sodimu, the convener of the upcoming Renewed Hope Housing Summit.

The minister highlighted housing's crucial role not just as shelter, but as a fundamental driver of economic growth, job creation, and national development. He stated that the administration is focused on enhancing Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to unlock significant investment, scale up housing delivery, and broaden access to affordable housing solutions for Nigerians.
