The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, has said that the development of Nigeria's housing market has the potential to unlock the country’s targeted $1 trillion economy. Dangiwa disclosed this during a recent groundbreaking ceremony for the 250-housing unit Renewed Hope Estate in Akwa Ibom. According to him, under the current administration, Nigeria has turned into a construction site.
He added the project further covered states like Kano, with a 500-unit Renewed Hope City, and Katsina, Gombe, Yobe, and Sokoto, each with a 250-unit Renewed Hope Estate in the first round of groundbreaking. “We plan to turn Nigeria into a huge construction site.
