The Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, has urged state governments, housing institutions, development finance institutions (DFIs), and other key stakeholders to actively participate in the National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign. The initiative aims to provide a coordinated approach to housing delivery at the state level.
Arc. Dangiwa made the appeal while delivering a thematic address at the 14th meeting of the National Council on Lands, Housing and Urban Development in Ilorin, Kwara State. The campaign is set to launch in Katsina State on 4–5 March 2026 for the North-West geopolitical zone.
“The Campaign represents our determination to lead a unified approach to housing development, ensuring federal programmes, reforms, and private capital translate into visible, deliverable projects at the state level,” Dangiwa said.
Organised by the Know This Nigeria Network (KTNN) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, the campaign includes Regional Executive Sessions and Public Homeownership Seminars to strengthen links between federal housing institutions, DFIs, and state governments.
Dangiwa highlighted that the initiative aligns with the Ministry’s Unified Housing Delivery Framework, designed to ensure federal and state governments work together as “One Coherent National Housing Delivery System” for sustainable homeownership and urban development.
QS Muhammed Baba Adamu, National Coordinator of the campaign, emphasized that the initiative will enable states to attract and deploy housing capital effectively and encouraged the establishment of State Housing Reform Offices (SHROs) to provide technical and advisory support for bankable housing projects.
The 14th National Council meeting, themed “Achieving Housing Delivery and Sustainable Cities through Effective Land Management, Urban Renewal, Promotion of Local Building Materials, and Public-Private Partnerships in Nigeria,” brought together governors, lawmakers, commissioners, housing agencies, developers, and stakeholders from all 36 states and the FCT.
The campaign marks a major step toward coordinated housing delivery and sustainable urban development across Nigeria.
