BACKGROUND INFORMATION
 Housing is universally accepted as the second most
important human need, after food, hence, the Nigerian
State is enjoined by Section 16(1)(d) of the 1999
Constitution under the Fundamental Objectives and
Directive Principles of State Policy “to provide
suitable and adequate shelter for all Citizens’’.
 Under the Transformation Agenda and Vision 20: 2020,
the provision of accessible and affordable housing is
one of the strategic national imperatives for
guaranteeing the well-being and productivity of the
citizenry.
3

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ...Cont’d
• The Federal Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development,
established as a free-standing Ministry in April 2010, is the
umbrella policy arm of the Federal Government charged with the
responsibility of ensuring adequate and sustainable housing
delivery and maintenance of a conducive living environment that
meets the needs and aspirations of the Nigerian citizens.
• Prior to this, between 1975 and 2010, most of the functions of the
Ministry were performed under various other Ministries, such as
Housing, Works and Environment.
• Due to this history of institutional instability and many changes of
direction over the years, arising from mergers and demergers,
the Housing and Urban Development Sector had been organised
under different administrative/institutional arrangements.
• The frequent changes in the status, tenure, nomenclature and
mandate of the Ministry over the years, have adversely affected
the Ministry in discharging its functions efficiently and
effectively.
• It is, however, encouraging that today, sufficient attention is
being accorded by the present Administration, to its core
functions of Land Administration, Housing Delivery and Urban
Development. 4

MANDATE
Some of the key functions of the Ministry which have been
consolidated over time include the following:
• formulating policies and setting standards;
• coordinating activities and providing oversight;
• monitoring the implementation of policies and enforcing
compliance with codes, regulations and standards;
• providing, upgrading and maintaining infrastructure for the
housing stock, including public buildings of Federal Ministries;
• promoting sustainable development of liveable, functional and
productive towns and cities;
• supporting State Governments in the realization of the national
strategic goals in the housing and urban development sector;
and
• forging partnerships with key stakeholders, including the
organized private sector and development partners, to
advance the national agenda on effective land administration
and management, affordable housing delivery and sustainable
urban development.
5

VISION AND MISSION
• Vision Statement
“To establish a sustainable housing delivery
system that will ensure easy access to home
ownership and rental schemes by the Nigerian
populace in an environment where basic
physical and social amenities are available’’.
• Mission Statement
“To facilitate the provision of adequate and
affordable housing for all Nigerians, in both the
urban and rural areas, in secure, healthy and
decent environment’’.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS (29th May, 2011 – May 2013)
DEVELOPMENT OF ENABLING SECTOR POLICIES
• On assumption of duty on 18th July, 2011 it became evident
that the Ministry had been operating without Government
approved policies to guide its course of action.
• Hence, necessary actions were taken to ensure the
development of the National Housing Policy and the National
Urban Development Policy through an inclusive and
participatory process involving all key stakeholders in the built
environment.
• The two (2) policy documents were approved by the Federal
Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday, 20th June, 2012. They
had earlier been favourably considered by the Economic
Management and Implementation Team (EMIT) on 19th
December, 2011 and the National Economic Council (NEC) on
10th May, 2012.
• The public presentation of the policy documents was made
on Thursday, 15th November, 2012 in Port-Harcourt, Rivers
State.

GOAL OF THE NATIONAL HOUSING POLICY (NHP)
The goal of the NHP is to:
‘ensure that all Nigerians own or have access to decent, safe
and sanitary housing in healthy environment with
infrastructural services at affordable cost, with secure
tenure’.
This positions the housing sector as one of the prime drivers of
socio-economic development, including job creation and
employment, as well as accelerated national transformation.
10

GOAL OF THE NATIONAL URBAN DEVELOPMENT POLICY
(NUDP)
The goal of the NUDP is to:
‘promote a dynamic system of urban settlements,
which fosters sustainable economic growth, promotes efficient
urban and regional planning and
development, as well as ensures improved standard
of living and well-being of Nigerians’.
11

REVIEW OF THE NATIONAL BUILDING CODE
• The National Building Code, which was published in 2006, is being
reviewed and updated by the Ministry, in collaboration with the National
Building Code Advisory Committee.
• On approval by the Federal Executive Council, the Ministry will
champion the process of ensuring compliance with its provisions
through proper enforcement by the three tiers of Government,
Professional and Regulatory Bodies, and other relevant stakeholders.
• The House of Representatives has commenced the process of
enacting a law to enforce the provisions of the National Building Code
in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
• In consonance with Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the Code, all the States of
the Federation are expected to domesticate the proposed Act of the
National Assembly in their respective States to ensure effective
implementation of the Code nationwide.
12

• No. of Certificates of Occupancy (C of Os) granted = 2,667
• No. of consent granted for the transfer of land titles = 1,651
• No. of serviced plots created through the Ministry = 3,787
• The Ministry is working in partnership with the Presidential
Technical Committee on Land Reform, and other stakeholders, to
address the plethora of issues in land administration and
management. The aim is to ensure that land owners have secured
titles and bankable assets.
• Discussions are on-going with State Governors to reduce the cost of
land title applications and turnaround time to approve land
applications in order to bring down the prices of houses for the
citizenry.
• In addition, efforts are being intensified to update and upgrade the
land data-base management/processing system in the country.
13
LAND ADMINISTRATION

 Since the inauguration of President Jonathan’s
Administration on 29th May, 2011, a total of 16,447 housing
units were added to the national stock through various

ALTERNATIVE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES
• A significant development in the current effort at
housing delivery, is the adoption of alternative
building technologies in some of the project sites.
Worthy of note, are the light gauge steel
construction technology, plasswall and plassmolite
technology, hydraform technology, and burnt bricks.
• The delivery of the housing units at Kuje, using the
light gauge steel technology, has been facilitated by
the establishment of a factory for the production of
steel profiles. The factory has the capacity to
produce the components for two housing units in a
day. During housing construction, fifteen (15) people
work on a twin block of three bedroom and build it
in ten (10) days after foundation.

• The Ministry has been supporting the “Bill on Social
Housing for Nigeria” which is awaiting passage by
the National Assembly.
• The Ministry is also, partnering with Cyrus Projects
Nigeria Limited, a consortium of Nigerians in the
Diaspora, to build unity villages in the country, totalling
10,000 units in each of the six geo-political zones.
Under the Agreement, the Ministry is currently funding
the provision of infrastructure for the social housing
component of the project in a pilot phase in Lafia,
Nasarawa State.
64
SOCIAL/AFFORDABLE HOUSING SCHEME

• The Ministry, in collaboration with the ASO Savings & Loans
Plc and the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, is developing
144 mixed housing units of 1-3 bedroom apartments at Lugbe,
Abuja. The foundation laying ceremony took place on
Tuesday, 24th April, 2012. The project is, however, currently
encumbered pending the resolution of some outstanding
issues with the FCTA/FCDA.
• In addition, estate developers are enjoined to embrace the
concept of mixed development in housing delivery and ensure
that at least 20% of the total number of housing units built in a
project site are allocated to low-cost housing ranging between
N1.5 million – N5.0 million for 1-3 bedroom houses.
• Moreover, the Ministry is collaborating with domestic
producers for the supply of building materials to estate
developers at factory prices.

HOUSING/MORTGAGE FINANCE
• In consonance with the key recommendations of the
Stakeholders’ Workshop on Housing/Mortgage Finance held
on 3rd May, 2012 a Mortgage Refinancing Company (MRC) is
being established (with a US$300 million IDA Credit from the
World Bank) to create more mortgages in support of home
ownership in Nigeria. The Company is expected to take-off
before the end of this year.
• In year 2012, the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN)
moved from the dispensation of recording losses annually, to
making profits. This is very heart-warming.
• In addition, more contributors are joining the National
Housing Fund (NHF) under a new e-collection system for an
efficient, more transparent and accountable system of fund
collection and remittance.

HOUSING/MORTGAGE FINANCE ........Cont’d
• A new product targeting the provision of housing finance to
Nigerians in the Diaspora, has been developed by the Federal
Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN). An estimated 17 million
Nigerians reside outside the country, and targeting 1 million
Nigerians within the first year of the “Nigerians in Diaspora
Mortgage Scheme” will provide the sum of US$100 million to
FMBN as monthly contributions (ie. US$100 per person per
month).
• Another product on the FMBN shelf that will provide
opportunities for Nigerians to own houses, is the Rent-To-
Own Product. Under the Scheme, people will pay rent on the
houses as part of the cost of the houses, on rent-to-own basis.

HOUSING/MORTGAGE FINANCE ……… cont’d
• Moreover, mortgage access for informal sector workers was
created and launched on 5th December, 2011 under the
Informal Sector Cooperative Housing Scheme, aimed at
addressing the housing finance needs of low-income and
informal sector groups such as artisans, bricklayers,
mechanics, farmers and market women. It is gratifying to note
that the response to the Scheme has been overwhelmingly
positive. The first 300 housing units financed under this
Scheme by First World Communities Co. Ltd (a cooperative
housing development company) is to be launched in Lagos
soon.
• Efforts are also, being made to harness other sources of funds
in support of a sustainable mortgage finance system and
housing development involving the possible use of unclaimed
dividends, pension funds, dormant accounts, among others.

JOB CREATION
• The housing and urban development sector is recognised worldwide
as being immensely valuable in terms of job creation because the
construction of housing units requires the services of a pool of
professionals such as architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, and
artisans such as draughtsmen, bricklayers, electricians, iron benders,
painters, tillers and various vendors.
• In addition, the sustainable funding of housing delivery promotes
investments in the production of building materials and boosts linked
businesses, all of which help to increase employment generation in
the economy.

to improve access to credit facilities for housing and related
infrastructure development.
• Championing the African Urban Agenda, in collaboration with
UN-HABITAT, in view of the need to deal decisively with the rapid

important essential human need. The right to adequate
housing is considered a core human right.

In more advanced economies (e.g USA, Great Britain and
Canada), it contributes between 30%-70% of the GDP.

assigned special roles to the housing sector, expecting it to
drive the financial system and contribute not less than 20% to
the GDP by the year 2020.

employment opportunities, reduce crime rate, increase
productivity, raise standard of living of the populace and
alleviate poverty.

National Development Tools
123

• Our cities are also centres of economic growth and
centres for commerce and wealth creation, and for the
promotion of healthy living environments.
 The Federal Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban
Development is determined to continue playing a leading
role (through the provision of policy direction, technical
and administrative support for all stakeholders) in the
housing and urban development sector towards
becoming an effective national development tool.
 I strongly believe that with all the set mechanisms already
put in place, and all hands on deck, we shall meet the set
targets of Mr. President and the expectations of the
citizenry for the transformation of Nigeria’s housing and
urban development sector.
