Tinubu building 100 housing units per LGA for vulnerable Nigerians, says Aide

Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, presidential media aide, says the President Bola Tinubu government has commenced construction of 100 Renewed Hope Housing Units in each local government area to support vulnerable persons, including victims of insecurity.

Mr Abdulaziz disclosed this on Tuesday during an inspection visit to Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Renewed Hope City project in Janguza, Kano.

The presidential aide said the project was already underway and designed to provide succour to vulnerable Nigerians.

“Apart from these, phase 1 and 2 of the Renewed Hope City project, there are also 100 housing units per local government, which have commenced as ‘Tinubu Estate’. They are targeted at vulnerable groups, especially victims of insecurity and other disadvantaged persons in society. This is being done across all local governments in Nigeria as we speak,” he said.

On the Renewed Hope City project, Mr Abdulaziz said it was designed to address the country’s huge housing deficit.

The project manager, Awe Augustine-Babatunde, said Phase 1 of the Renewed Hope City, comprising 325 housing units, had been completed, while Phase 2, with 698 housing units, would be ready by next month, August.

He said work at the site had reached 75 per cent completion, with about 426 housing units already constructed.
