In its bid to ascertain housing deficit in the country, the Federal Government will conduct housing census, Minister of Land, Housing and Urban Development, Ms Amal Pepple, has said.
The minister announced this in Abuja when she met with members of the steering committee on the restructuring and commercialisation of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA).
According to her, the census will determine what had been achieved and what needed to be done in the housing sector, noting that much has been done in the sector since 2011. She said that in spite of the challenges and measures taken by FHA in housing delivery, other means initiated by the Federal Government had boosted the housing sector.
The minister said the census would expose states that had not met the minimum expectation in the housing sector and serve as avenue to commend those that had achieved the minimum standard.
Pepple said the 36 state commissioners as well as the FCT had been requested to submit the number of housing projects delivered and those still in progress from 2011 to date. She added that some states had started collating data on the housing projects they embarked on. (NAN)
