The Katsina state Governor Dr. Dikko Umar Radda has allocated 25 hectares of land to the Federal Government to construct the Renewed Hope City Project within the state
This was disclosed during a meeting between the Katsina State Commissioner of Lands and Physical Planning, Dr. Faisal Kaita, and the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa at the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja.
In October 2023, the Housing Minister had announced plans by the federal government to construct 40,000 housing units nationwide under the Renewed Hope Cities project.
This is in line President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to bridge the housing gap in the country by constructing 1,000 housing units each in the 36 States and 4,000 housing units in Abuja.
The Federal Government is determined to provide 5.5 million housing units nationwide within the next ten years.
The first phase of the Renewed Hope Cities project will involve the construction of 40,000 affordable housing units nationwide.
After the announcement of the commencement of the first phase of the Renewed Hope Cities project, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development promptly sent out Land Allocation Requests to all states, requesting a minimum of 50 hectares of land near the state capital.
The Federal Government as part of its plans, will carry out slum upgrading and urban renewal projects in select states to improve the welfare of Nigerian citizens.
