The Federal Housing
Authority (FHA) has partnered stakeholders in the housing sector especially the Nigeria Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) on the provision of affordable houses for Nigerians.
A statement by the new Managing Director of the Authority Prof Mohammed Al-Amin, on Friday during a tour of FHA housing estates across the country said the authority would adopt new strategies for marketing its products to ensure accelerated sale of houses to Nigerians.
Mohammed said the management of the FHA is working to ensure an easier access to home ownership for the teeming masses of Nigeria’s homeless persons.
The statement said the new management was concerned with the onerous task of making more affordable houses for the people, stressing that the authority would explore the window of proxy marketing as an effective mechanism tool for sales of houses as is being done in more advanced countries.
He said the new management team was totally not satisfied with the modalities adopted by the authority in houses delivered in its over 40 years existence, stressing that the interim management team was working towards improving the trend.
He said the authority would review various aspects of its operations to achieve result and overcome its teeming challenges.
The statement said the new FHA’s interim management team would continue to partner with private developers to ensure that quality houses are delivered to Nigerians to the best of their satisfaction by the authority.
