As part of its Social Housing Scheme, the Buhari
administration will construct 300,000 houses under the Economic Sustainability
Plan (ESP) for low income earning Nigerians.
A statement on Sunday by presidential spokesman, Laolu
Akande, disclosed that cement manufacturers have agreed with the federal
government to charge a discount price.
During his inspection of the completed model houses in Dei
Dei at the weekend, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo affirmed that it was possible
to deliver decent and affordable accommodation to Nigerians.
After seeing the prototypes of the one-bedroom and
two-bedroom bungalows, Osinabjo said he was satisfied with the cost and quality
of the design.
He thanked cement manufacturers for their contribution to
the success of the housing programme.
“They have agreed to give cement for this project at a
considerable discount which is a very helpful thing to do. We really commend
and thank them, it is a very patriotic thing on their part.
“Anybody who is earning N30,000 a month and is ready to
spend a third of that amount will be able to afford one of these houses. What I
have seen so far, there is a one-bedroom unit and there is a two-bedroom unit,
both coming under N2 million.”
Osinbajo expressed hope that the government will be able to
replicate the project not just in Abuja but all over the country.
