The Federal Government has a target of constructing one million houses annually in order to reduce about 17 million housing deficit in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

It disclosed this through the Minister of State for Works and Housing, Abubakar Aliyu, during his inspection of the Federal Housing Authority\u2019s mass housing project in Zuba, a suburb of Abuja.<\/p>\n

Aliyu noted that by constructing one million houses annually, the government would be able to bridge the housing gap in Nigeria by 2033. He said, \u201cThe production now is low; we are constructing 100,000 houses per year and we hope to improve it by constructing one million houses per year in order to close the gap of 17 million to 20 million housing deficits by the year 2033. That is the target of government.\u201d<\/p>
