HDAN Commends Wike as Infrastructure Development Transforms FCT Real Estate

Says massive investment in roads and public infrastructure is unlocking new opportunities for housing, investment and economic growth

By Housing TV Africa

The Housing Development Advocacy Network (HDAN), Africa’s leading and pioneering non-governmental advocacy organisation dedicated to housing development, has commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, for what it described as the unprecedented pace of infrastructure development across the nation’s capital, noting that the projects are already reshaping the real estate landscape and opening up new frontiers for housing and investment.

HDAN has, for decades, championed policy reforms, affordable housing initiatives, housing finance, land reforms, real estate regulation and sustainable urban development across Africa. Through sustained advocacy, strategic partnerships and high-level stakeholder engagement, the organisation has made significant contributions to advancing housing development in Nigeria and across the continent, earning recognition as one of Africa’s foremost voices on housing policy and sector reforms.

In a statement issued by its Executive Director, Festus Adebayo, HDAN said that strategic investments in roads, bridges, interchanges and other critical infrastructure have become one of the strongest catalysts for real estate growth in the FCT, significantly increasing land values, attracting private sector investment and accelerating urban expansion.

According to Adebayo, one of the greatest lessons from successful cities around the world is that infrastructure drives real estate development.

“Where roads go, development follows. Where government provides quality infrastructure, investors naturally move in. Housing estates spring up, businesses expand, jobs are created and property values appreciate. This is exactly what we are witnessing today in many parts of the Federal Capital Territory.”

HDAN observed that communities that were once regarded as distant or unattractive to investors are rapidly emerging as prime residential and commercial destinations because of improved accessibility and government investment in infrastructure.

The Network noted that ongoing road construction and expansion projects are unlocking the economic potential of several districts and satellite communities, encouraging developers to embark on new housing projects while giving confidence to financial institutions, mortgage providers and other investors.

According to HDAN, infrastructure development remains one of the most effective government interventions for reducing the cost of housing delivery. Improved road access, drainage systems and other public facilities lower development costs, shorten project timelines and make it easier for developers to deliver quality housing to Nigerians.

The organisation further stated that beyond real estate, infrastructure investment stimulates economic activities across multiple sectors, including construction, manufacturing, transportation, hospitality, retail, financial services and professional consultancy, thereby creating thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities.

HDAN urged the FCT Administration to sustain the current momentum by extending infrastructure to more satellite towns and emerging districts, stressing that balanced development across the territory would help reduce pressure on the city centre while making affordable housing more accessible to low- and middle-income earners.

The Network also encouraged stronger collaboration between government and the private sector to maximise the benefits of infrastructure investment through planned urban expansion, serviced land development and increased private participation in housing delivery.

Adebayo emphasised that Nigeria’s housing challenge cannot be solved through mortgage finance alone.

“Access to infrastructure is just as important as access to finance. A plot of land without roads, electricity, drainage and water has limited value. But once government provides infrastructure, that same land becomes attractive for housing, commerce and industry. Infrastructure is the foundation upon which sustainable cities are built.”

He added that the remarkable transformation taking place across the FCT demonstrates the importance of visionary infrastructure investment in driving economic growth, improving the quality of life of residents and strengthening investor confidence in Nigeria’s real estate sector.

HDAN reaffirmed its commitment to supporting policies and initiatives that promote sustainable urban development, affordable housing and responsible real estate growth, while calling on other state governments across Nigeria to emulate the FCT by making infrastructure development a central pillar of their housing and economic development strategies.

“The transformation we are witnessing in Abuja is a powerful reminder that strategic investment in infrastructure is one of the fastest ways to stimulate real estate development, create wealth, attract investment and improve the living standards of the people. We commend the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike, for this bold approach and encourage the sustained execution of projects that will continue to unlock the enormous economic potential of the Federal Capital Territory.”

Stakeholders in Nigeria’s housing and urban development sector have endorsed the Federal Government’s renewed partnership with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), describing the collaboration as a significant step towards addressing rapid urbanisation, expanding access to affordable housing, and promoting sustainable city development.

The experts noted that Nigeria’s urban population continues to grow as more people migrate to cities in search of employment and better living conditions. They warned that without strategic planning and sustained investment in infrastructure, housing, and public services, cities will face increasing pressure from traffic congestion, inadequate housing, informal settlements, and overstretched social amenities.

A property developer, Chief Anthony Izuagbe, urged governments to adopt proactive planning by expanding infrastructure ahead of population growth rather than reacting after existing facilities become overwhelmed. He stressed that anticipating future demand is essential for building resilient and liveable cities.

Similarly, retired infrastructure professional Mrs. Chinonye Onyekoji highlighted the need for long-term urban planning, particularly in Lagos and other rapidly growing cities. She said strategic investments in transportation, housing, and public infrastructure are necessary to accommodate population growth and improve residents’ quality of life.

The endorsement follows a meeting between the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Engr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma, and the UN-Habitat Regional Director for Africa, Oumar Sylla, during which both parties reaffirmed their commitment to deepening cooperation on sustainable urban planning, affordable housing delivery, climate resilience, slum upgrading, institutional capacity building, and the implementation of Nigeria’s National Urban Development Policy.

The minister described urban renewal as a key driver of economic growth, improved security, and better living standards. He expressed confidence that continued collaboration with UN-Habitat would provide Nigeria with technical expertise, global best practices, and stronger development partnerships needed to build inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities.

Urban development experts believe that strengthening the partnership between the Federal Government and UN-Habitat will accelerate housing delivery, improve urban governance, enhance land-use planning, and support climate-resilient infrastructure capable of meeting the needs of Nigeria’s rapidly expanding urban population.

The Federal Government and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening collaboration on affordable housing delivery, sustainable urban planning and urban renewal initiatives across Nigeria.

The renewed partnership was announced when the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Engr. Muttaqa Rabe Darma, hosted a delegation from UN-Habitat led by its Regional Director for Africa, Oumar Sylla, at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.

Darma commended UN-Habitat for its continued technical support to the ministry and several state governments, particularly its contributions to the review of Nigeria’s National Urban Development Policy.

He described urban renewal as a critical component of the Federal Government’s development strategy, noting that improved city planning, slum upgrading and sustainable urban development would boost economic growth, improve living standards and strengthen security.

The minister called for expanded cooperation in affordable housing delivery, climate-resilient infrastructure, sustainable urban planning, capacity building and the implementation of the National Urban Development Policy.

According to him, closer collaboration with UN-Habitat would support the objectives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and accelerate efforts to address Nigeria’s housing deficit.

Darma also urged the organisation to continue providing technical expertise, global best practices and strategic partnerships capable of transforming the country’s housing and urban development sector.

Addressing Nigeria’s outstanding financial obligations under its Memorandum of Understanding with UN-Habitat, the minister assured the delegation that the government was engaging relevant authorities to facilitate the release of the funds despite prevailing fiscal constraints.

“The organisation remains an important partner in our efforts to deliver sustainable housing and improve urban development outcomes. We are confident this partnership will continue to produce lasting benefits for Nigerians through better housing, sustainable cities and inclusive urban development,” he said.

Earlier, UN-Habitat Regional Director for Africa, Oumar Sylla, congratulated Darma on his appointment and described Nigeria as a key partner in advancing sustainable urbanisation across Africa.

He reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s housing and urban development priorities through programmes focused on affordable housing, improved land administration, urban transformation, access to basic services and durable solutions for internally displaced persons, particularly in the North-East.

Sylla disclosed that UN-Habitat has strengthened partnerships with several state governments, including Niger, Yobe, Adamawa and Katsina, with encouraging results in urban development and housing initiatives.

He also appealed to the Federal Government to sustain its support for the agency and expedite the settlement of outstanding financial obligations to ensure the uninterrupted operations of UN-Habitat’s Country Office in Nigeria.

The UN-Habitat official further urged Nigeria to participate in the forthcoming High-Level Political Forum in New York, describing it as an opportunity to showcase the country’s urban development achievements, strengthen international partnerships and attract additional support for sustainable housing and city development programmes.

The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to global best practices in urban planning and physical development as part of efforts to promote sustainable growth and improve residents’ quality of life.

The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Oluyinka Olumide, disclosed this during a ministerial press briefing held to mark the seventh year of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration.

Strategic Urban Planning Reforms

Olumide said the ministry has strengthened strategic planning collaborations and knowledge-sharing initiatives designed to improve long-term urban development across Lagos State.

According to him, the reforms are expected to enhance infrastructure coordination, improve urban mobility, reduce environmental degradation, and support broader socio-economic development.

He noted that the government is aligning all physical development activities with approved planning standards and international urban management practices.

Improved Dispute Resolution and Enforcement

To improve compliance and public trust, the ministry intensified mediation and conflict resolution mechanisms for development-related disputes.

Olumide disclosed that the ministry received 987 petitions during the review period. Out of these:

• 399 cases were resolved through mediation
• 17 enforcement actions were carried out
• 52 properties were sealed
• 519 cases remain under investigation

He stated that the 47.76 per cent resolution rate has helped reduce litigation, improve enforcement efficiency, and strengthen public confidence in the system.

Technology-Driven Planning and Infrastructure Support

The commissioner said the ministry is increasingly adopting data-driven planning systems and digital tools to improve decision-making, land-use management, and spatial coordination.

He added that the government has also facilitated Right of Way approvals for key infrastructure projects, including road expansion and urban regeneration programmes.

Olumide stressed that enforcement activities have helped reduce unregulated estate development and promote safer and more organised communities across the state.

Urban Renewal and Corridor Development

As part of ongoing urban renewal efforts, the Lagos State Informal Space Management Authority developed action plans for key corridors and informal spaces, including:

• AIT Powerline High Tension Corridor
• New Ojota–Opebi Link Bridge area
• Agric–Isawo corridor
• Itamaga–Elepe–Maya corridor
• Ogolonto–Ipakodo corridor

The interventions included mapping, stakeholder engagement, enforcement notices, and action area planning to prevent encroachment and restore order.

Appeals Committee Reconstituted

Olumide also announced the reconstitution of the 14-member Lagos State Physical Planning and Building Control Appeals Committee.

The committee will handle disputes, oversee regulatory issues, and investigate professional misconduct within the planning and building control system.

Regional Planning and Future Projects

He further disclosed that Lagos State has been assigned to lead the development of a master plan for the South-West region, alongside plans for an integrated rail transit system across the region.

The commissioner reaffirmed the government’s commitment to building a smart, sustainable, and well-organised city through continued reforms and inter-agency collaboration.

According to him, Lagos remains focused on balancing infrastructure development with environmental sustainability and economic growth to improve residents’ quality of life.

Delegates from 176 countries attending the 13th World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku, Azerbaijan, have called for urgent and coordinated global action to address the worsening housing crisis affecting billions of people worldwide.

The call was contained in the “Baku Call to Action,” a comprehensive document issued at the end of the forum, outlining shared priorities and practical steps for governments, development partners and private sector actors to strengthen housing systems globally.

57,000 Participants Shape Global Housing Roadmap

The forum brought together more than 57,000 participants, including over 3,000 online attendees, alongside governments, local authorities, civil society groups, researchers, businesses and grassroots organisations.

The wide participation made WUF13 one of the most inclusive global gatherings on urban development, reflecting diverse perspectives on housing, infrastructure and sustainable cities.

Housing Crisis Linked to Infrastructure and Climate Risks

The Baku Call to Action noted that approximately 2.8 billion people globally live in inadequate housing, underscoring the scale of the challenge.

It stressed that housing must not be viewed only as shelter provision, but as part of a wider system connected to land, infrastructure, transport, public services and economic opportunity.

The document also highlighted how housing inequality is worsened by rising costs, land speculation, displacement, weak governance and climate-related risks such as floods and extreme heat.

Call for Climate-Resilient Housing Systems

A key emphasis of the declaration is the need to integrate climate resilience into housing development.

It called for investment in nature-based solutions, retrofitting of existing housing stock, community-led housing initiatives and improved disaster preparedness systems.

According to the document, vulnerable communities often face the dual burden of housing insecurity and exposure to climate shocks.

Stronger Governance and Financing Urged

The Baku Call to Action also called for improved multilevel governance, expanded housing finance systems and better access to reliable housing data.

It emphasised the importance of empowering local governments and communities to play a stronger role in delivering housing solutions.

UN Highlights Africa’s Housing Deficit

Speaking at a special session on the Africa Affordable Housing Compact, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed described housing as central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

She stressed that secure and adequate housing creates the foundation for progress across health, education, gender equality and climate action.

UN-Habitat Executive Director Anacláudia Rossbach further warned that Africa’s housing deficit already exceeds 60 million units and could surpass 130 million by 2030 if current trends continue.

She also noted a financing gap of over $1.4 trillion, while highlighting Africa’s rapidly growing urban population as both a challenge and an investment opportunity.

Africa’s Housing Finance Gap and New Compact

Rossbach said Africa receives less than 3 percent of global housing finance despite accounting for nearly one-fifth of the world’s urban population.

To address this imbalance, the African Affordable Housing Compact was introduced, focusing on policy reform, financing pipelines and data systems.

The initiative is built around four key pillars: housing fellowships, deal platforms, data hubs and country-level housing compacts.

A Global Push for Implementation

The WUF13 declaration and associated discussions reinforce a global shift from policy discussions to implementation-focused housing solutions.

Stakeholders agreed that addressing the housing crisis requires coordinated action across governments, investors, and development institutions, with strong emphasis on sustainability, climate resilience and inclusive urban growth.

The second Africa Urban Forum has opened in Nairobi, bringing together policymakers, urban planners and development partners with a renewed call to accelerate the transformation of rapidly growing cities across the continent.

The three-day forum, hosted by the Government of Kenya in partnership with the African Union Commission, has drawn nearly 10,000 participants both physically and virtually, including ministers, city mayors, industry leaders, civil society actors and academics.

Held under the theme “Adequate Housing for All: Advancing Socio-economic and Environmental Transformation toward the Realization of Agenda 2063,” the gathering is expected to shape new strategies for managing Africa’s fast-paced urbanisation.

Speaking at the opening, Musalia Mudavadi warned that Africa’s urban population is projected to double from about 700 million to 1.4 billion by 2050, a shift he said will fundamentally redefine the continent’s economic structure, social systems and development trajectory.

He stressed that the pace of urban growth presents both an opportunity and a challenge, requiring coordinated planning to ensure cities remain resilient, inclusive and economically productive.

The forum builds on discussions from its inaugural edition held in Addis Ababa in 2024, which laid the groundwork for a continent-wide dialogue on addressing urban challenges such as housing shortages, rising poverty, insecurity and climate-related risks.

Also speaking, Patience Zanelie Chiradza emphasised that well-planned cities capable of delivering essential services — including housing, clean water, sanitation and sustainable transport — are central to achieving Africa’s long-term development ambitions.

Similarly, Alice Wahome called on governments to scale up investments in affordable housing, climate resilience, circular economy practices and clean mobility systems as part of efforts to reimagine urban spaces across the continent.

Stakeholders at the forum are expected to outline practical pathways for strengthening urban governance, boosting infrastructure delivery and unlocking financing to meet the demands of Africa’s rapidly expanding cities.

Analysts say the outcomes of the forum could play a crucial role in shaping policy direction as countries seek sustainable solutions to the continent’s growing housing deficit and urban infrastructure gaps.

A home is more than just a physical structure — it’s a foundation for stability, safety, and personal growth.

Affordable housing provides families and individuals with a chance to live securely, focus on their well-being, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Affordable housing is not a handout but a necessity that addresses widening social and economic inequalities.

Rising rent and home prices have made it increasingly difficult for middle- and low-income earners, seniors, and people with disabilities to secure decent housing.

When people spend more than 30 percent of their income on rent, they have less to allocate for essentials such as food, healthcare, and education.

Studies show that affordable housing leads to better health outcomes, stronger academic performance among children, and increased financial stability.

Families living in safe, affordable homes are less likely to experience stress and more likely to build lasting community ties.

Well-designed affordable housing developments also strengthen local economies.

They create construction and service jobs, attract small businesses, and promote diversity by bringing together people from different social and economic backgrounds.

Communities with accessible, quality housing tend to experience lower crime rates, greater social inclusion, and improved public health.

As cities continue to grow, the need for affordable, sustainable housing becomes more urgent.

Providing homes that people can truly afford not only improves individual lives but also builds stronger, more resilient, and more equitable communities for all.

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, has urged state governments to adopt and implement the Urban and Regional Planning Law (Decree 88 of 1992), blaming its neglect for Nigeria’s uncoordinated urban growth.

Speaking at the NITP National Colloquium in Abuja, Dangiwa lamented that only two states  including Katsina  have operationalized the law more than 30 years after its enactment. He said the failure has fuelled informal settlements and poor city planning.

The minister praised the NITP for promoting dialogue on sustainable development and pledged the Federal Government’s commitment under the Renewed Hope Agenda to ensure nationwide adoption of the law.

“Urban and regional planning is the backbone of sustainable growth, efficient infrastructure, and social well-being,” Dangiwa said.
