The Kano State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to affordable housing, revealing plans to align closely with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda to address housing challenges, especially among low-income earners.
The disclosure was made by the Kano State Commissioner for Housing Development, Arc. Ibrahim Yakubu Adamu, during the Renewed Hope Housing PPP Summit 2.0 held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Conference Centre in Abuja.
According to a statement issued by the Director of Public Enlightenment at the Ministry of Housing Development, Adamu Abdullahi, the commissioner said the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is intensifying efforts to provide wider access to decent and affordable housing for residents.
Kano Plans Easier Access to Housing
Arc. Adamu explained that the state government is introducing different initiatives aimed at simplifying the process through which residents can access housing opportunities.
He noted that the government is prioritising practical housing solutions capable of making home ownership easier and more accessible for the public.
According to him, authorities are working toward creating a system that removes barriers and allows more citizens to benefit from housing projects.
The commissioner also stressed that the government sees public-private partnerships as a major pathway to achieving large-scale housing development across the state.
State Receives Housing Proposals From Developers
Speaking on the summit theme, “From Policy To Projects: Financing and Delivering Housing at Scale Through PPPs,” Adamu said the discussions reflected the direction Kano State is already pursuing.
He disclosed that several proposals from credible development partners had already been submitted to the government and are currently undergoing review.
“Proposals are received, and they will soon be appraised towards actualising the housing ideas proposed for the benefit of our people,” he stated.
He commended the Federal Government’s commitment to tackling the nation’s housing deficit and improving the welfare of citizens through strategic housing interventions.
Kano Approves 480 Housing Units Under Mega City Project
As part of efforts to accelerate housing delivery, the commissioner revealed that the state government had approved the construction of 480 housing units under a project named Gida-Gida Mega City.
The housing development, located at Rijiyar Gwan-Gwan along Maiduguri Road, is expected to feature facilities designed to support a modern urban environment.
The project represents another step in Kano’s efforts to scale up housing delivery while creating sustainable communities for residents.
