Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima, has disclosed that Nigeria requires N21 trillion to address the country’s housing deficit.
Shettima said this while speaking during the ground-breaking of a five-hundred-unit housing estate to be constructed by the Sokoto State government.
A statement by Olusola Abiola, the Director of Information in the Office of the Vice President, said Shettima noted that Nigeria has a housing deficit of twenty-eight million houses.
He, however, commended Governor Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State for his efforts at tackling the housing needs of his people.
