The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola said that the ministry would soon commence the sale of housing units built under the National Housing Programme nationwide.
He said that this would be done through an online subscription to allow for transparency and reduce human interference to the barest in the allocation process.
Fashola said this at a one-day stakeholder’s engagement forum organised by the Lagos State Real Estate Transactions Department with the theme: “Lagos Real Estate: Achieving 21st Century Compliance”.
Represented by Controller, Federal Ministry of Housing, Sarah Alawode, Fashola said that housing, apart from being one of the major needs of a man, holds great potential for the economic well being of Lagos State and Nigeria at large.
According to him, more states need to play a more active role to ensure a better experience for citizens in the area of land and security of land transaction, thereby attracting investment.
