The President said the government needs to work on something that provides enough houses and jobs for Nigerians.

“The government should inject money into housing and power, any money available now should be injected into these projects, they are projects that will generate quick employment for all cadres.

If there is power supply we can boost that 50 per cent of our national problems are solved. Money available right now should be injected into housing and power.

On the government’s activities on road, power and housing, they are still working on the budget, when I saw the proposed budget, it is obvious that there is need for a re-think on putting more into capital project, especially on works and housing, the government should move in any way they can to produce houses for rent,” he said.
