Over 85% have less than N1.1m purchasing power -Minister

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, on Monday, lamented that 80 per cent of Nigerians cannot afford housing due to financial constraints.

This, Dangiwa noted accounted for the major causes of the housing deficit in the country.

The minister stated this in his keynote address at the opening of the maiden Kaduna International Housing Exhibition, held at Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Hall, Kaduna.

He noted that the major issue governments at all levels have to address in their desire to deliver sustainability to the citizens is the issue of affordability.

He added that statistics had shown that almost half of Nigeria’s population of over 200 million are poor and have weak purchasing power.

He said, “In fact, of the 43 million households, over 85% have less than N1.1m purchasing power. Of this, 40% (about 17.2 million households fall into the poverty income group and 47% (about 20.2 million) fall into the low-income group.

“On the whole, statistics reveal that Nigeria is a low-income country as it has only 13% of its population as middle class. The recent macro-economic challenges including inflation have made things worse.”

Against this backdrop, the minister said the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, through the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, was planning to establish a National Social Housing Funds.

He said under the NSHF, the Federal Government aimed to pull funds from the government budget, philanthropic organisations and well-meaning Nigerians towards providing decent shelter for Nigerians with no income, low income and vulnerable brackets who cannot afford to own their homes.

“Some of these units will be delivered at no cost. We have developed the concept note that is undergoing review. Once concluded we will present it to the Federal Executive Council for approval and legislation.

“Social housing is not only a necessity it is also a security insurance for the rich and the poor. Because housing is capital intensive and the government has limited funds, we must find alternative collective avenues to help our brothers and sisters who are underprivileged. It is for our collective good.

“In this way, the underprivileged will know that we are one; that we are our brother’s keeper and that will help social cohesion, understanding and peace. This is because home ownership gives individuals a sense of belonging and a stake in the community,” the minister said.

He also commended the Uba Sani-led government for its practical, inclusive and pragmatic vision for housing delivery which led to the organisation of the maiden Kaduna International Housing Exhibition.

Earlier in his remarks, Sani represented by his Deputy, Hadiza Balarabe, said the provision of affordable houses for citizens of the state was a key priority of his administration.

He said he is committed to addressing the housing deficit across the State in line with Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.”

He said that the state government had adopted a holistic approach towards filling the identified gap through partnerships with local and international investors to address its housing deficit.

He said, “Qatar Charity in partnership with the Kaduna State Government is constructing Mass Housing for the Less Privileged and Kaduna Economic City, all in Millennium City, Kaduna. I recently performed the groundbreaking for the construction of the 3319 Hectares Nuru Suraj Ungwar Dosa New Extension Layout.

“This project is being executed through a public-private partnership. Nuru Suraj and Kaduna State Government are working together to develop 35,000 plots for our people.

“The Social Housing Scheme was introduced in order to provide affordable accommodation as a social service for the vulnerable populace (the low-income earners). Efficient design and construction methods, which are key indicators that drive the affordability target of the scheme, were employed.”

The governor also stated that his administration has attracted many investors (Real Estate Developers) and has partnered with them in the construction of mass housing estates across the state under PPP arrangement.

On his part, the Managing Director Kaduna State Development and Property Company, Abubakar Rabiu-Abubakar announced the launch of two social initiatives: ‘the Arewa Construction Academy and the KSDPC Housing Cooperative Society,’ demonstrating the state’s commitment to social investment, skill development, and addressing the housing needs of low and middle-income families.

Rabiu-Abubakar also said KSDPC was set to embark on certain key housing and housing infrastructure projects including the Ultramodern Mechanics Village for the Eastern Sector of the Kaduna metropolis, featuring an Electric Vehicle (EV) Assembly Plant, CNG Conversion Stations, EV Charger Manufacturing, and strategically located EV charging points, A 5-star Hospital with Doctor Quarters.

“A private university to be known as ABSAAR University, a Building Materials Village to service the Eastern Sector of Kaduna metropolis, A Trucks and Heavy-Duty Mechanics Village, which are expected to attract and facilitate the construction and delivery of at least 2000 mixed-type housing units across Kaduna metropolis within the next 5 years.

“This exhibition is a testament to our efforts to transform aspirations into tangible results, ensuring that Kaduna State remains a beacon of progress and opportunity for all its residents,” the KSDPC boss said

Fire service CG demands enforcement powers to improve efficiency

The Controller General of the Federal Fire Service, AbdulGaniyu Jaji, has said the lack of enforcement powers is hindering his personnel’s ability to effectively carry out their constitutional duties.

Jaji explained that when potential fire hazards or actions that disrupt firefighting efforts are ignored after being pointed out, the fire service is powerless.

He added that with enforcement powers, the service would be able to prevent fire outbreaks while effectively exercising its authority.

The CG spoke during the inauguration of the committee on research and development of the fire service training curriculum in Abuja on Monday.

He said, “We need to strengthen our IIE, that is, Inspectorate, Investigation and Enforcement. Now, we need to have an enforcement that can bite.

“If you go to a particular place and say, look, this place is not good, you seal it. By the time you are able to seal it, even if they go to court, you have the law that backs you up that this thing is supposed not to be like this. But if you don’t have that law, it will cause a problem.”

Jaji also lamented the practice of building shops in areas designated for fire hydrants in markets.

He added that this makes it difficult to combat fires during outbreaks.

Jaji said, “If you look at Karu market, you realize that the shanties or the buildings that are there are the cause of the fire. We are the market people.

“We allocate a place that is purposely for fire hydrants and they will build shops on it. Even if the firefighters or the fire plants get to that place, there will be no access for you to fight the fire. And again, people are not even conscious.”

The CG also called for the review of the Fire Service Act of 1963, adding that its provisions were outdated.

He said, “The only way by which that can be met properly is for us to be able to review our acts. Because the act is obsolete. The act that was established in 1963, you realize that the modern act is 2024, and you begin to use an act of 1963. ”

The Chief Executive Officer of Veil Consultants, Machie Olisehemeka, stated that the review of its training curriculum was necessary to help personnel’s efficiency

He said, “Whatever you do in life, there has to be training, training, and retraining.

“If you are not trained to meet the emerging trends, everyday things are changing. Everything, firefighting, fire prevention, everything about the world is changing. So we have to train to meet with the emerging changes that are being let loose on us.”

The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) has officially scheduled October 5 as the date for conducting local government elections across the state.
This announcement follows a series of consultations and preparations aimed at ensuring a smooth electoral process.
In a statement released on Monday, RSIEC outlined comprehensive guidelines designed to govern the forthcoming council elections.
The commission’s decision comes amidst ongoing tensions surrounding leadership within the local government councils.
Currently, police operatives remain stationed at various local government council secretariats, a measure implemented in response to the leadership crisis that has gripped the councils.The crisis escalated following the expiration of the tenures of the elected chairmen and councillors across the state’s 23 local government areas.
The LG chairmen insisted on staying back in office, relying on a controversial law passed by the 27 lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, which gave them a six-month extention.

In response, Governor Sir Siminialayi Fubara who has dieected the Chairmen to vacate office and handover to the Directors of Local Government Administration, inaugurated Caretaker Committees to oversee the councils temporarily until new elections could be conducted.
The situation has not been without controversy, as outgoing chairmen, aligned with Wike, have contested their removal. They argue that their tenure was extended by six months under provisions of the repealed Local Government Administration law of the state, a claim disputed by RSIEC.
With the date now set, all eyes are on RSIEC to deliver an election that reflects the will of the people amidst the backdrop of ongoing political tensions and legal disputes.

Prof Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said that the Commission has no constitutional power to conduct local council elections except in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Yakubu said this on the sidelines of a two-day induction retreat for INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, on Monday in Lagos.
He was reacting to calls for INEC to be given a constitutional backing to conduct local council elections.
Describing the issue as ‘a constitutional matter’, Yakubu stressed that unless necessary constitutional amendments are made, the Commission will only continue to organise national and state elections.
“The same section of the Constitution that establishes INEC also establishes the State Independent Electoral Commission, SIEC, and we cannot take over their duties.
“It is good for people to engage in advocacy for INEC to take charge of the whole elections, but the Constitution has to be amended for that to happen.
“For now, INEC can only conduct the local government elections in the Federal Capital Territory with six area council chairmen and 62 councillors.
“And it is in the FCT that the conduct of council elections has been regular and we are proud that the conduct of the elections there has been done to the best of our capacity.
“So, we are encouraged by what we have done, but as for taking over the state elections, the Constitution has to be amended, and we are not there yet,’’ he said.

FCT: Wike fumes over allocation of land meant for bus terminal to politician

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Monday fumed over the allocation of land meant for a bus terminal in the Central Business District, Abuja.
Wike, who made the complaint at the inauguration of the construction of Mabushi Bus Terminal, Phase I, in Abuja, described the action as a gross distortion of the Abuja Master Plan.
He explained that the FCT Administration decided to build three terminals, one each in the Central Business District, Mabushi and Kugbo, to ensure a secure and convenient travel experience for commuters in the territory.
He, however, said that the land designated for the bus terminal in the Central Business District, where a train track was expected to pass through, had been allocated to somebody.
“When we went there to start preparation for the inauguration project last Tuesday, I received a text that I had taken somebody’s land, and I was surprised.
“In fact, in that text message, the person said, ‘after his sacrifices and inputs to the party, is this what he will suffer?”.
“When I enquired, we found out that the place has been given out and Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) had been signed, even consent judgement has been entered between FCTA and the person,” he said.
He explained that he directed that the Mabushi location should be used for the inauguration of the terminal project, pending when the issue would be resolved.
The minister noted that leadership was all about taking decisions, noting that in taking decisions, not everybody would be happy, but a decision must be taken.
“This is just to let people know some of the things we face; how the Master Plan of the FCT had been distorted.
“When you want to make a decision, so many people will be angry and when you are complaining, they won’t come with sincere facts; they will come with distorted facts,” he said.
The minister added that Abuja was supposed to be one of the best cities in the world but lacked the necessary infrastructure to be a first-class city.
He particularly pointed out that a city like Abuja does not have bus and taxi terminals, thereby forcing people to park and board vehicles on the road, and taxis all over the place.
This, according to him, is contributing to the level of insecurity in the territory, including the proliferation of “one chance” criminal elements.
He explained that the construction of the bus and taxi terminals was part of efforts to reduce the level of insecurity under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
“To reduce insecurity, we made a proposal to the National Assembly explaining that part of the security problem we are facing is because we have not been able to know who the people operating taxis and buses in FCT are and where they are loading from.
“One of the things that people don’t understand about the Renewed Hope Agenda, is that it is not just about human capital development; it is also about empowerment of our people.” he said.

“We need security in this state. Please, it is getting out of hand. We need to go back to farming. We need tractors, let’s go back to mechanised farming. We Obas are discussing this issue of insecurity on a daily basis. Your Excellency, help us to pass this message to President Tinubu that people are suffering.” Ajibade submitted.
