<p class="isSelectedEnd"><strong>President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan as the new Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.</strong></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Enitan will assume office on August 27, 2026.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, announced the appointment on Wednesday.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Enitan will succeed Didi Esther Walson-Jack. She will retire from the Federal Civil Service after reaching the statutory retirement age of 60.</p>
<h2>Enitan Brings Seven Years of Permanent Secretary Experience</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Enitan, who is from Osun State, currently serves as Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He is the most senior Permanent Secretary in the Federal Civil Service. He has held the rank for seven years and seven months.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">During his career, Enitan has worked in several key government offices. His previous assignments include the Ministry of Police Affairs, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and the Office of the Vice President.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">His experience across these institutions gives him a broad understanding of federal government operations.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">As Head of the Civil Service, Enitan will oversee the federal civil service system. He will also play a key role in improving efficiency and professional standards across government institutions.</p>
<h2>Tinubu Sets Priorities for New Head of Service</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">President Tinubu thanked Walson-Jack for her years of service to Nigeria.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The President also recognised the reforms and innovations recorded during her tenure. He wished her success after her retirement from public service.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Tinubu has asked Enitan to continue the reforms already underway in the civil service.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The President also wants him to strengthen professionalism and improve efficiency across government ministries and agencies.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Tinubu further directed the incoming Head of Service to promote a civil service based on merit, accountability and innovation.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He said the service must respond effectively to the needs and aspirations of Nigerians.</p>
<h2>What the Appointment Means for Housing and Infrastructure</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The effectiveness of the civil service affects many areas of Nigeria&#8217;s economy. Housing, land administration and infrastructure development all depend on strong public institutions.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Federal housing programmes require coordination among ministries, departments and agencies. The same applies to land management, urban development, construction standards and infrastructure projects.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">A more efficient civil service could therefore support faster implementation of government policies in these sectors.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The Office of the Head of the Civil Service also has a wider role in strengthening the systems that support federal administration. This makes the new appointment relevant to government programmes across the housing and infrastructure sectors.</p>
<h2>Enitan&#8217;s Education and Career</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Enitan was born on December 12, 1966.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He attended Ajibode Grammar School, Ibadan, and the College of Arts and Science, Ile-Ife.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He later studied at the University of Lagos. He graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and Banking.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">In 2015, Enitan obtained a Master of Science degree in Public Policy Analysis from Nasarawa State University, Lafia.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">His academic background combines finance with public policy. His career has also given him experience across different areas of federal administration.</p>
<h2>New Chapter for the Federal Civil Service</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Enitan will take charge of the Federal Civil Service as the government continues to pursue its Renewed Hope Agenda.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">His immediate priorities will include building on existing reforms, improving efficiency and strengthening professionalism within the service.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">His leadership will also matter to sectors such as housing, infrastructure, land administration and urban development, where effective government institutions remain important to policy delivery.</p>
<p>Enitan will formally assume the position on August 27, 2026, following the retirement of Walson-Jack.</p>

<p class="isSelectedEnd">Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele gave the figures at a press conference on Wednesday. He explained how the subsidy reform affected government finances and the Federation Account.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">According to Oyedele, the government saved N15.8 trillion after removing the fuel subsidy. The Federal Government, states and local governments shared the funds.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The Federal Government received N5.43 trillion from the savings. State governments received N6.52 trillion, while local governments received N3.88 trillion.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Oyedele said the savings did not create one large cash reserve for the Federal Government. Instead, the reform reduced the cost of maintaining the fuel subsidy.</p>
<h2>Government Records Additional Revenue</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The finance minister also disclosed other financial gains from the reforms.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The government generated N3.12 trillion in additional revenue during the period. It also recorded N11.85 trillion in additional borrowing.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Together, these sources gave the Federal Government about N20.4 trillion in additional resources.</p>
<p>READ ALSO :<a href="https://www.housingtvafrica.com/fuel-prices-set-to-stay-high-as-downstream-market-battles/">Fuel Prices Set to Stay High as Downstream Market Battles</a></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">However, government spending also increased during the same period. Oyedele said the Federal Government spent about N30.64 trillion on additional expenditures.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The figures show that subsidy removal did not leave the government with a large surplus. Instead, the reform helped reduce the pressure on government finances.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Oyedele said the government would have needed more borrowing without the savings from subsidy removal.</p>
<h2>Where the Government Spent the Money</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The government directed the additional spending towards several areas.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Wage adjustments accounted for N9.39 trillion. The government also spent N9.37 trillion on external debt servicing.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Infrastructure received N6.47 trillion during the period. The government also spent N3.14 trillion on electricity subsidies.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">These figures show the scale of the demands on Nigeria’s public finances. The government must fund wages, debt payments, infrastructure and other public services at the same time.</p>
<h2>Impact on Housing and Infrastructure</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The figures also matter to Nigeria’s housing and construction sectors.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Government revenue plays an important role in infrastructure development. Roads, electricity, water supply and other public services support housing projects and urban growth.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Higher public spending on infrastructure can improve access to new housing areas. It can also support the growth of real estate markets when better roads and public services connect new developments to major cities.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">However, rising costs remain a major concern for the construction industry. Higher energy, transport and material costs can increase the cost of building homes.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Developers also face higher financing costs when interest rates and other economic pressures rise. These factors can make affordable housing more difficult for many Nigerians to access.</p>
<h2>Tinubu&#8217;s Economic Reforms</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced the removal of the petrol subsidy in May 2023. His administration also liberalised the foreign exchange market in June 2023.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Both reforms changed the cost of fuel and the value of the naira. Petrol prices rose sharply after the subsidy ended, while the naira experienced major fluctuations.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The reforms have since affected households, businesses and government finances.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The latest figures provide more detail on the financial impact of the subsidy decision. They also show how the government has used additional resources while managing rising spending needs.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">For Nigeria’s housing and infrastructure sectors, the allocation of public funds remains important. Government investment can support infrastructure that makes housing development possible.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">At the same time, the government must balance infrastructure needs with debt payments, wages and other financial obligations.</p>
<p>The N15.8 trillion breakdown therefore offers a clearer picture of the fiscal impact of fuel subsidy removal. It also highlights the financial pressures facing the government as it funds infrastructure and other public needs.</p>

While some believe the policies are improving Nigeria’s economy, others say many citizens are yet to feel the benefits.</p>
<p data-start="1005" data-end="1260">The debate comes as Nigerians continue to grapple with inflation, high transport costs and reduced purchasing power. Government officials say the reforms will strengthen the economy over time. Critics, however, argue that households need immediate relief.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1b257py" data-start="1262" data-end="1304"><span role="text"><strong data-start="1265" data-end="1304">Government Defends Economic Reforms</strong></span></h2>
<p data-start="1306" data-end="1491">The Federal Government says its policies are restoring economic stability. Key reforms include the removal of the petrol subsidy, foreign exchange liberalisation and fiscal adjustments.</p>
<p data-start="1493" data-end="1765">According to the government, these measures have improved Gross Domestic Product (GDP), increased revenue shared among the three tiers of government and reduced the debt service-to-revenue ratio. Officials believe these improvements will support long-term economic growth.</p>
<p data-start="1767" data-end="1986">Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar disagrees with that assessment. He argues that many Nigerians continue to struggle despite the positive economic figures.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1ao8csf" data-start="1988" data-end="2031"><span role="text"><strong data-start="1991" data-end="2031">Economists Differ on Policy Outcomes</strong></span></h2>
<p data-start="2033" data-end="2215">Professor Godwin Oyedokun of Lead City University believes the reforms deserve a balanced assessment. He said the policies address long-standing structural challenges in the economy.</p>
<p data-start="2217" data-end="2449">However, he noted that many Nigerians now face higher living costs, rising inflation and weaker purchasing power. He explained that macroeconomic indicators may be improving, but ordinary citizens have yet to experience those gains.</p>
<p data-start="2451" data-end="2601">Oyedokun added that the reforms will only succeed if they create jobs, increase incomes and improve living standards before the next general election.</p>
<p data-start="2603" data-end="2839">Former President of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), Dr. Okechukwu Unegbu, offered a different view. He acknowledged that some reforms are sound. However, he argued that poor implementation has limited their impact.</p>
<p data-start="2841" data-end="3028">According to Unegbu, improvements in GDP have not translated into better conditions for consumers or businesses. He believes implementation remains the administration’s biggest challenge.</p>
<p data-start="3030" data-end="3284">Financial analyst Kalu Aja has also supported some of the government&#8217;s policy decisions. He previously described fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate liberalisation as appropriate reforms. However, he also stressed the need for stronger implementation.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="956b3f" data-start="3286" data-end="3331"><span role="text"><strong data-start="3289" data-end="3331">Economic Indicators Show Mixed Signals</strong></span></h2>
<p data-start="3333" data-end="3381">Recent economic figures present a mixed picture.</p>
<p data-start="3383" data-end="3584">The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported that Nigeria’s inflation rate stood at <strong data-start="3471" data-end="3488">15.91 percent</strong> in June 2026. Inflation continues to put pressure on household budgets and business operations.</p>
<p data-start="3586" data-end="3768">Meanwhile, the naira traded at <strong data-start="3617" data-end="3644">₦1,364.83 per US dollar</strong> at the official foreign exchange market on August 3. Petrol prices in Abuja ranged between <strong data-start="3736" data-end="3767">₦1,265 and ₦1,310 per litre</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="3770" data-end="3901">These factors continue to influence transport costs, food prices, construction expenses and business activities across the country.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1er6asq" data-start="3903" data-end="3959"><span role="text"><strong data-start="3906" data-end="3959">Why the Reforms Matter to Housing and Real Estate</strong></span></h2>
<p data-start="3961" data-end="4158">Economic reforms have direct implications for Nigeria’s housing sector. Inflation and exchange rate fluctuations increase the cost of cement, steel, roofing materials and other construction inputs.</p>
<p data-start="4160" data-end="4334">Higher fuel prices also raise transportation and logistics costs for developers. As construction costs increase, affordable housing projects become more difficult to deliver.</p>
<p data-start="4336" data-end="4500">Mortgage financing is also affected. High living costs reduce household incomes, making it harder for many Nigerians to qualify for home loans or purchase property.</p>
<p data-start="4502" data-end="4703">If inflation slows and economic stability improves, developers and investors may gain greater confidence. Lower borrowing costs could also encourage more housing projects and infrastructure investment.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="sabwgc" data-start="4705" data-end="4719"><span role="text"><strong data-start="4708" data-end="4719">Outlook</strong></span></h2>
<p data-start="4721" data-end="4948">The debate over Tinubu’s economic reforms is likely to continue. Supporters believe the policies will deliver long-term benefits. Critics argue that ordinary Nigerians need to see tangible improvements sooner rather than later.</p>
<p data-start="4950" data-end="5161">For the housing and real estate sector, the success of these reforms will depend on whether economic growth leads to lower construction costs, stronger household incomes and greater access to affordable housing.</p>

<p>The ground-breaking ceremony, held on Wednesday, was presided over by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu. Addressing military and civilian guests, Shaibu described the initiative as part of a broader strategy to address the pressing accommodation challenges faced by army personnel across the country.</p>
<p>“As I highlighted during the Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference 2025 last week, all ongoing residential projects in our barracks will be completed as planned, and new projects will be initiated to meet our growing needs,” Shaibu said. He explained that, as an immediate response to the shortage of housing, he had recently approved the construction of two 30-family unit blocks in each Nigerian Army Division. These additions complement ongoing renovations across various army formations and units.</p>
<p>The COAS clarified that the new barracks, officially designated as Phase II of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Barracks, is a completely new facility distinct from Phase I, which was commissioned by President Bola Tinubu on January 23, 2025. He noted that the project represents a shift from short-term solutions to a sustainable, long-term approach to improving living conditions for personnel and their families.</p>
<p>“This initiative is central to our ‘Soldier First Concept,’ which prioritizes the welfare and well-being of our officers and soldiers. Operational success is directly linked to the care and support provided to those entrusted with the defense of our nation,” Shaibu said. He expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his prompt support in providing dignified and secure housing for army personnel.</p>
<p>The new barracks have been designed to accommodate both returning troops and their families, particularly as operations in various areas achieve their objectives and phased troop drawdowns occur. Shaibu emphasized that the facility will enhance unit cohesion, boost morale, and strengthen overall force readiness, making it a strategic enabler for the army’s long-term operational sustainability.</p>
<p>Maj.-Gen. Bayode Adetoro, Coordinator of Army Special Services and Programmes, highlighted that the Phase II project aligns with the COAS’s soldier-first command philosophy. He said the approach prioritizes comprehensive welfare initiatives, including housing, healthcare, education, family support, and post-service reintegration, all aimed at sustaining loyalty and morale within the force.</p>
<p>Phase I of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Barracks currently accommodates 614 personnel and has set the standard for subsequent housing projects. The commencement of Phase II represents a significant expansion of the army’s housing infrastructure and reaffirms the Nigerian Army’s commitment to improving living standards for its personnel.</p>
<p>Construction of the new facility is expected to incorporate modern design features, security measures, and family-friendly amenities, ensuring personnel and their families can live in a safe and dignified environment.</p>
<p>This development comes as part of the Nigerian Army’s broader effort to enhance operational effectiveness while prioritizing the well-being of its personnel, a move that military officials say will positively impact morale, retention, and overall force readiness.</p>
<p>The Nigerian Army has started building new modern barracks in Abuja for 1,800 personnel, boosting welfare, operational efficiency, and troop morale.</p>

<p>The disbursement, achieved under the leadership of the college’s Provost, Professor Jonathan J. Atungwu, highlights FCA Ibadan’s commitment to inclusive education and support for students from low-income backgrounds.</p>
<p>The funds followed a sensitisation session held on August 29, 2025, where students were guided on the objectives and benefits of the NELFUND scheme. The programme is based on the Students Loans (Access to Higher Education) (Repeal and Re-enactment) Act, 2024, signed into law by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.</p>
<p>According to Barrister Elum, the college’s NELFUND liaison officer, over 600 students were uploaded to the NELFUND portal. Of these, 92 applications were processed, 91 approved, and ₦19.54 million fully disbursed to beneficiaries. He stressed transparency and proper documentation during the application process.</p>
<p>Former Students’ Union President, Comrade Pelumi Folarin, praised the initiative, calling it a lifeline for students struggling financially.</p>
<p>“This intervention has brought hope to those who might have dropped out due to lack of funds. We are grateful to the government and the College Management for making this possible,” he said.</p>
<p>The sensitisation event drew top college officials, including the Deputy Provosts (Administration and Academic), Registrar, Head of Bursary, Director of Audit, Deans, and the Dean of Student Affairs, showing management’s strong backing for student welfare.</p>
<p>In a statement, the college lauded the Federal Government and NELFUND for their timely intervention.</p>
<p>“This milestone will ease the financial burden on our students. We commend the government’s vision and hope the scheme continues to benefit more indigent students nationwide,” it said.</p>

<p>This funding, targeted specifically at low- and middle-income earners, is part of a broader push by the Federal Government to expand mortgage accessibility and bolster housing delivery under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.</p>
<p>According to sources familiar with the deal, ITMB is among the first institutions in the mortgage banking space to tap into this strategic fund, signaling its leadership role in providing sustainable home financing.</p>
<p>&#8220;This isn’t just capital, it’s a transformative opportunity for everyday Nigerians,&#8221; said Mrs. Ngozi Chukwu, the Acting Managing Director/CEO of ITMB, during a briefing in Abuja.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our mandate goes beyond mortgage provision. We are here to enable ownership, stability, and dignity through housing. This ₦5 billion facility will allow us to roll out more affordable and flexible mortgage products designed specifically for average income earners.&#8221;</p>
<p>With more than 20 years of institutional experience in mortgage financing, ITMB is strategically positioned to utilize this capital injection to close gaps in the housing market. The bank plans to launch a series of tailored products that will feature lower interest rates, longer repayment periods, and reduced entry barriers, especially for first-time buyers and underserved demographics.</p>

<p>The MREIF facility, which is administered by ARM Investment Managers on behalf of the Federal Government, is expected to stimulate broader economic activity by unlocking liquidity within the real estate sector.</p>
<p>It is also intended to catalyze new investments into housing development by reducing the financial bottlenecks that have historically limited both developers and prospective homeowners.</p>
<p>Analysts suggest that this partnership between the public and private sectors could mark a significant turning point in addressing Nigeria’s estimated housing deficit of over 17 million units. By deploying resources through reputable mortgage institutions, the government is aiming for scalable impact enabling thousands of Nigerians to transition from renting to owning homes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Infinity Trust Mortgage Bank is committed not just to financing houses, but to building communities and securing futures,&#8221; Chukwu emphasized. &#8220;With this funding, we will extend our reach and improve our service delivery, while ensuring that the dream of owning a home becomes realistic for a much larger segment of the population.&#8221;</p>
<p>ITMB’s involvement in this initiative is widely seen as a vote of confidence in its operational integrity and social impact. Over the years, the bank has financed residential developments and facilitated home purchases for hundreds of Nigerians through customized mortgage solutions.</p>
<p>Housing experts say the ₦5 billion facility could serve as a blueprint for similar interventions in the future encouraging other financial institutions to participate in targeted funding schemes that prioritize affordability and inclusiveness.</p>
<p>The MREIF is part of the Federal Government’s broader effort to stimulate private sector-led growth in the housing sector while addressing systemic financing challenges that have plagued the mortgage industry for decades.</p>
<p>As implementation gains momentum, industry watchers will be monitoring how effectively the funds are deployed, particularly in reaching the demographic groups that the program is designed to serve.</p>
<p>Infinity Trust Mortgage Bank says it is ready.</p>
