Mixta Africa acknowledges the recent announcement by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regarding its commitment to the importance of affordable housing development in Nigeria, through the publication of the Framework for the Implementation of the Family Homes Financing Initiative.
Taking the housing deficit in Nigeria, currently estimated at 17 million homes, as read – the Initiative is premised on the importance of home building to job creation. The CBN refers to 2.5 million direct and indirect new jobs envisaged amongst mainly young Nigerians on low income, a boost to local manufacturing and the potential for 900,000 individuals that currently live in informal settlements being housed in safe and sanitary environments.
Commenting on the Initiative; Mr Deji Alli, Mixta’s CEO said, “This is a demonstration of the State’s recognition that affordable housing is a national priority. The CBN, through its N200bn financing initiative, gives significant impetus to the Federal Government’s Economic Sustainability programme to fast track the development of affordable housing, at scale, alongside the multiple infrastructural, societal and economic benefits that real estate construction delivers.”
