On Tuesday, Dr. Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, visited the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) housing project in the FCT’s Idu district.
IDPs in states would be able to live in the one- and two-bedroom homes as part of the country’s attempts to combat multifaceted poverty, according to Edu.
The minister claims that each house will be built for N3 million using direct labor from the intended recipients.
“The Tinubu administration in Nigeria is dedicated to offering refuge to a minimum of five million displaced and vulnerable households.”
“Recall that the humanitarian trust fund, which has 70% contributions from individuals and donor organizations and 30% from the federal government, was recently approved by the federal government.”
According to the minister, Benue has started working on an initiative similar to this one for IDPs.
“This project had its groundbreaking in Benue, and as we speak, the clearing of roughly 10 hectares for the construction of 40 houses has been completed,” Edu stated.
She claimed that because the buildings are simple to erect, the process of providing IDPs in various parts of Nigeria—particularly Borno, Zamfara, Adamawa, Yobe, and other regions—with homes would be accelerated.
