The Federal Government through the Ministry of Works and Housing launched the National Housing Programme to provide adequate and affordable housing via home ownership and rental schemes for all Nigerians in the urban and rural areas.
Nigeria ranks as one of the countries with the most underserved housing for its citizens in the world.
Since the launch of the portal on November 12, the ministry has received over 7,000 applications from interested persons in the last one week.
The prices of the houses vary from state to state due to the cost of construction and topography. The ministry has fixed the price of the properties starting from N7.2 million to highest amount N16 million.
The housing unit options are 1, 2, 3 bedrooms, of which some are bungalows while others are flats.
So far 5,000 houses are available for purchase in phases one and two across 34 states and the FCT, while phase three is still under construction in Rivers and Lagos states.
