While speaking on “Housing Deficit in Developing Economies: Challenges, Prospects” in a lecture, he revealed that Nigeria needs 17 million housing units annually in order to bridge gap in housing industry.

Sadly, he said, Nigerians do not have enough vocational skills acquisition required in the course of building and construction of housing facilities in the country, hence, the heavy reliance of Nigeria’s housing industry on the skills and expertise acquired from the neighbouring countries.

This partnership between Ogun state and Lafarge Africa Plc is expected to provide Nigerians with advanced construction technological skills.
