CEO urges Nigerians to stop living beyond their means
"We must each have a three-bedroom house even though we can’t even afford a studio apartment.”
In a forum themed “Affordable housing: Bridging the 17 million housing deficit - building for low-income earners”, Odia spoke against Nigerians, who look for houses they can not afford.
“It’s our inability to come to terms with our present economic conditions and cut our coat according to our size…we must each have a three-bedroom house even though we can’t even afford a studio apartment.”
The CEO was supported by a representative of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) called Usman Nasidi.
Nasidi asked Nigerians not to wait till retirement before working towards owning their homes.
He also encouraged people to advantage of the affordable housing units for low income earners provided by the MFF, FMBN, and Trustbond Mortgage Bank.
