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

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