“We need partnership with governments at the state level”, MD says

Prof. Mohammed Al-Amin, the Managing Director of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), is urging the state governments to form a partnership with this the association.

According to him, this would make for easy housing development.

“There is no special vehicle for the FHA; therefore, the authority goes as any other developer, pays compensation and does all the necessary things private developers do to get land. That is not helping matters because if we spend a lot of money in getting land and pay compensation, then other things are being added to the cost of the housing. We need partnership with governments at the state level particularly, where you give us land; you help us with infrastructure and we build the houses and allocate them to citizens of Nigeria in the states.”
