“So as at today, we have built 5,000 plus units in different stages of completion. We have done in Phase One and we have done in Phase Two and some have started in Phase Three. The other purpose this scheme has served is to fulfil part of the objectives of the administration’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan .
Fashola, who described the launch of the portal as “the end game of our economic objective,” explained that the government did not just set out to build houses, adding that the project has served many purposes, the first of which was to test what sort of houses Nigerians would like to live in so as to make policies to guide its agencies and parastatals, as well as other stakeholders, to build what could be acceptable in the markets.
