NATIONAL STRATEGY ON MASS HOUSING DELIVERY, SLUM UPGRADING UNDERWAY

A new era is drawing on the housing sector, following a broad consensus reached by participants at the Nigeria’s first national housing and slum summit, which urged the federal government and state governments to immediately launch and implement a national programme of action towards reducing by half (50 per cent) the housing deficit by 2025 and eliminating it by 2043.

The resolutions known as Abuja Declaration were part of the National strategy on Mass Housing delivery and slum upgrading adopted after a two-day summit in Abuja, recently, with the theme: Developing a national strategy for mass housing and slum upgrading.
