Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has lamented over households that are faced with a dilemma of survival between food and inadequate shelter, while commissioning 248 housing units and commemoration of 1,000 homes built by the Millard foundation (MFF) on Saturday at Masaka, Nasarawa State.
He said the aim is to address the issue of inadequate housing in the country, the Buhari administration remains determined in its vision to build a nation where low-income earners have the dignity of a decent home and livelihood.
He described the commissioning of the housing project as a watershed event in the important work of providing housing for Nigerians who need it most.
“While the challenge of inadequate or no-housing undermines the quality of life of many Nigerians on a low income, it also denies our economy and, therefore, our collective welfare, the growth that is possible through a vibrant housing market.” Osinbajo said.
The vice president also laid emphasis that the Buhari administration is taking the challenges seriously by addressing the concerns.
