Tijjani Gwarzo, the Minister of State, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his vision and commitment towards providing affordable and accessible housing for all Nigerians.

Mr Gwarzo made the commendation on Friday in Kaduna at the closing of the 12th meeting of the National Council on Lands, Housing and Urban Development.

He spoke on “Harnessing Local and International Credit Schemes as a Panacea for Housing Infrastructure Development under the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

The minister said the choice of the theme was a way of easing the burden of accessing credit for housing in the country.

Mr Gwarzo also acknowledged the Minister of Housing and Urban Development,  Ahmed Dangiwa, for his sterling leadership and guidance of the demerged ministry.

He said Mr Dangiwa has been deploying his vast wealth of experience in piloting the affairs of the critical sector of the economy, housing and urban development.

Mr Gwarzo said, ”The sector is making tremendous progress in laying good foundations in the areas of housing programmes and interventions.

”This is in line with the Presidential Priority Projects and other key programmes under his leadership.

” Dangiwa’s drive for the review of all the enabling laws and reforms of the housing sector has been very remarkable,” the minister added.
