President Muhammadu Buhari presented keys to new homeowners at the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Zuba and advised them to live peacefully and harmoniously together in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). 748 units were commissioned during the ceremony.
The president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, released a statement in which the president congratulated the new homeowners in an estate, saying that his promise of change had been fulfilled for them.
There are 75 blocks containing 748 houses of different types, all situated on 18.5 hectares of land.
The President urged the estate’s residents to collaborate with the FHA in order to maintain the property and uphold environmental safety.
Commending the Chairman, Managing Director, Members of the Board and Staff of FHA on the successful completion of the Estate, the President noted that the project was another testament of his administration’s commitment to lifting people out of poverty.
President Buhari, who acknowledged that more Nigerians are waiting to benefit from the mass housing project, urged the management of FHA not to relent in delivering other projects at various stages of construction and development across the states.
“One of the measures that we have consciously deployed to attack poverty, create prosperity and develop our economy is the aggressive provision of infrastructure nationwide,” he said, noting that such investments also lead to creating employment opportunities for artisans and other skilled members of the society.
