The Federal Government has started construction of 241 housing units in Osogbo, Osun State.

The project sits on 33.3 hectares of land at East Bypass in the state capital. The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) is developing the estate through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with Summit Group Ltd.

At the same time, the FHA has announced the completion of 300 housing units in Bwari, Abuja. The units are now ready for commissioning.

FHA Uses PPP Model for Osun Project

The FHA Managing Director, Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, said the agency chose the PPP model to improve housing delivery.

Ojo spoke through the FHA Executive Director of Estate Services, Arc. Nya-Etok Ezekiel, at the ground-breaking ceremony in Osogbo.

He said the partnership would support innovation and improve efficiency. It would also help the project meet required development standards.

The FHA said the Osun project forms part of its wider effort to increase housing supply. The agency also aims to work with private investors to speed up development.

Nigeria continues to face a large gap between housing demand and supply. This makes new housing developments important for both urban growth and the construction sector.

Osogbo Estate to Include Commercial Facilities

The planned estate will use a mixed-use layout. It will combine residential buildings with commercial and recreational facilities.

The design will also include commercial and institutional areas. A clinic, police station, religious sites and a central sewage system are part of the planned infrastructure.

The FHA said the layout would bring homes, businesses and leisure facilities into one community. Such planning can help estates provide more than housing alone.

Summit Group Limited will construct the 241 housing units. Its Managing Director, Otunba Olalere Olabode, confirmed that the units would come in different sizes.

The 33.3-hectare site will therefore support a range of housing options within the same development.

FHA Highlights Housing Projects Across Nigeria

Ojo also highlighted other FHA projects across the country.

According to him, the agency began work on a partnership project in Ogun State on May 13, 2026. The FHA also launched the Renewed Hope Estate in Umuahia, Abia State, on April 11, 2026.

He said the agency had also pursued similar initiatives in Akwa Ibom and Kaduna states.

The FHA said these projects reflect its focus on housing delivery, job creation and economic growth. It also stressed the importance of considering local needs when planning new developments.

Bwari Housing Units Ready for Commissioning

The announcement of 300 completed units in Bwari adds another development to the FHA’s current housing portfolio.

Completion is an important stage in housing delivery. However, new estates also need supporting infrastructure and services to function effectively.

The Bwari project will now move towards commissioning, while the Osogbo development enters its construction phase.

Housing Delivery and Urban Development

The Osogbo project shows how government agencies can use private-sector partnerships to develop housing and supporting infrastructure.

PPP arrangements can help bring private investment and technical capacity into public housing projects. They can also spread development responsibilities between government agencies and private partners.

For prospective residents, however, the value of new housing will depend on factors such as location, infrastructure, housing size and affordability.

The two FHA developments in Osun and Abuja therefore highlight different stages of housing delivery. While the Osogbo project has just begun, the Bwari development has reached completion and is awaiting commissioning.

Both projects form part of the broader effort to increase housing supply and develop communities with supporting infrastructure. Their significance will ultimately depend on how effectively the homes meet the needs of residents and contribute to the growth of their respective locations.

The Federal Government has set a target to complete and deliver 100,000 housing units before 2027 as it intensifies implementation of the Renewed Hope Housing Programme.

The target is part of the government’s broader effort to increase housing supply, expand access to affordable homes and address Nigeria’s persistent housing deficit. The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has said several housing projects are already underway across the country.

The government is relying on a combination of direct public investment and public-private partnerships (PPPs) to accelerate construction and reduce some of the financing constraints that have historically slowed housing delivery.

Under the Renewed Hope programme, the government has been developing housing projects intended to serve different income groups, while also pursuing reforms around land administration, housing finance and project delivery.

The planned 100,000 units are expected to contribute to housing supply while generating economic activity across the construction value chain. Increased construction would create demand for cement, steel, roofing materials, electrical fittings, furniture, transportation and other building-related products and services.

The housing programme could therefore have an impact beyond the number of homes delivered. Large-scale construction has the potential to support employment and stimulate local manufacturing of construction materials.

However, achieving the target will depend heavily on the pace of construction and the government’s ability to overcome some of the challenges affecting housing projects across Nigeria.

Rising construction costs remain a major concern. The cost of building materials, land, labour and infrastructure continues to place pressure on developers and can affect both project timelines and the final price of completed homes.

Financing is another critical issue. Increasing the supply of houses will have limited impact on homeownership if potential buyers cannot access mortgages or other forms of affordable housing finance.

Recent Central Bank of Nigeria data has shown increased demand for housing-related credit, suggesting that more Nigerians are turning to formal financing to purchase or construct homes.

The government has also emphasised the importance of private-sector participation in meeting its housing objectives. Partnerships with developers, financial institutions and other investors are expected to help increase the scale and speed of housing delivery.

The 100,000-unit target therefore represents an important test for Nigeria’s housing policy. Completing the houses on schedule would increase the country’s housing stock, but the broader measure of success will be whether the homes are affordable, properly serviced and accessible to the households most affected by the housing shortage.

With the 2027 deadline approaching, attention will increasingly shift from announcements and project launches to actual completion figures and the number of homes ultimately handed over to Nigerians.

The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has commenced construction of a 195-unit housing estate in Ogun State, intensifying efforts to expand affordable housing delivery and revive large-scale public housing development across Nigeria.

The project, named FHA Gateway Estate, is situated in Ofada, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State. The initiative was officially launched by FHA Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Oyetunde Ojo.

The development comes at a time when pressure continues to mount on the Federal Government to address Nigeria’s housing deficit, estimated at over 20 million units. According to the FHA, the Ogun project aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive to accelerate housing delivery nationwide.

Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony, Ojo said the estate will consist of 95 two-bedroom apartments and 100 three-bedroom terrace duplexes. The development is being delivered through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement involving Greenpasture Homes and Akkenog International Company Limited.

He explained that the project reflects a strategic shift toward stronger collaboration with the private sector, noting that government alone cannot close Nigeria’s housing gap.

“Today’s groundbreaking marks another critical step in expanding Nigeria’s housing stock and fulfilling the mandate handed to us by President Tinubu to make housing more accessible to Nigerians,” Ojo said.

He added that the Authority plans to replicate similar partnership-based housing projects in different parts of the country. According to him, the PPP model remains one of the most sustainable approaches for attracting investment and accelerating housing delivery.

Ojo also highlighted the impact of ongoing infrastructure development, especially the reconstruction of the Sagamu-Owode road corridor, which he said has increased the value and accessibility of the project area.

FHA Executive Director of Estate Services, Ezekiel Nya Etok, expressed confidence in the administration’s housing strategy. He said the scale of current interventions could redefine public housing development in Nigeria.

Etok suggested that the housing initiatives under the current administration may eventually gain recognition comparable to the low-cost housing projects associated with former Lagos governor Lateef Jakande.

Providing additional details, FHA General Manager for Partnerships, Peter Okpanachi, explained that the estate was designed with modern infrastructure, security features and a peaceful environment to attract both homeowners and investors.

Private sector partners also assured stakeholders of their commitment to timely delivery and quality standards.

Managing Director of Greenpasture Homes Limited, Oloyede Oluwale, assured prospective buyers that the project would not face abandonment due to FHA’s oversight and institutional backing.

Similarly, Managing Director of Akkenog International Company Limited, Kehinde Akinwunmi Ogunusi, described the partnership structure as transparent and robust.

The FHA Gateway Estate project reinforces the government’s increasing reliance on infrastructure-backed housing projects and private-sector collaboration to stimulate investment and improve access to housing.

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Engr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma, has reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to ensuring timely completion of all ongoing housing projects across Nigeria.

He made the declaration during the second edition of the Renewed Hope Housing Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Summit held in Abuja, where stakeholders gathered to assess progress on housing delivery under the government’s Renewed Hope agenda.

FG To Strengthen Housing Delivery Through PPPs

The summit, themed “From Policy to Projects: Financing and Delivering Housing at Scale through PPPs,” brought together key stakeholders from government agencies, financial institutions, developers, and development partners.

Darma said the outcomes of the summit would play a critical role in shaping the Ministry’s strategic framework for housing delivery and economic growth.

He explained that the Ministry’s Strategic Plan would be unveiled by the end of May after consultations with relevant departments and agencies.

“Whatever plan we come up with, we will pursue diligently to ensure that it delivers meaningful results for Nigerians,” he said.

New Housing Framework To Drive Homeownership

The minister said the Federal Government plans to scale up housing delivery nationwide through stronger Public-Private Partnership models, innovative financing structures, and broader stakeholder participation.

According to him, the goal is to expand access to affordable homes and enable more Nigerians to become homeowners as ongoing projects progress across the country.

He added that the government remains committed to completing existing projects while accelerating new developments under the Renewed Hope Housing programme.

“We remain fully committed to the timely completion and commissioning of all ongoing Renewed Hope Housing Projects across the country,” he stated.

1,550 Housing Units For Military Personnel

Darma also disclosed that the Ministry is working with the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund to deliver 1,550 housing units for members of the Armed Forces.

He said the project is part of efforts to improve the welfare and living conditions of military personnel while expanding national housing stock.

FMBN Supports Large-Scale Housing Projects

Managing Director of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), Engr. Shehu Usman Osidi, said the bank had provided a N100 billion off-taker guarantee to support developers under the Renewed Hope Housing and Estates programme.

He noted that housing projects are currently ongoing in Abuja, Kano, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, and Maiduguri.

Strategic Focus On Execution

Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, commended the minister for sustaining the housing summit initiative.

He said the focus of the summit is shifting from policy discussions to execution, with emphasis on project structuring, financing mobilisation, land access, and partnership development to deliver housing at scale.
