The Federal Government, at the weekend, announced that it would build over 30 million new homes in the next 10 years as part of efforts to bridge the housing deficit in the country.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive of Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), Mr Madu Hamman, who announced this at the World Habitat Day anniversary, in Abuja, said that to this end, the bank intends to play a far more active role in integrating the informal sector into the National Housing Fund (NHF) scheme.

This, he noted, would widen the door of opportunity to over 85 per cent of Nigerian population that is currently neglected or ignored.
