Housing Ministry Endorses KTNN’s National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign

…Campaign is timely, in line with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda – Arc. Dangiwa

The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has endorsed the Renewed Hope National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign, an initiative that seeks to bridge the gap between federal housing policies and state-level implementation.

This was the outcome of a visit by the leadership of Know This Nigeria Network (KTNN) (KTNN), promoters of the homeownership campaign, to the Hon. Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc Ahmed Musa Dangiwa and his team in Abuja, Tuesday 4th November, 2025.

In his remarks, the Minister praised the initiative of the KTNN team to translate housing reforms into a nationwide movement that connects policy with people, emphasizing the importance of making housing reforms accessible to citizens, especially those at the grassroots.

“Having gone through the earlier submissions and presentation from KTNN, I am persuaded to endorse the principles and objectives of the Renewed Hope National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign. The goals of deepening citizen awareness, strengthening State–Federal collaboration, and institutionalising continuity in housing reforms are fully consistent with our Ministry’s priorities under the Renewed Hope Agenda” he noted.

He added that many States are still not fully aware of the federal and international housing windows available to them and many citizens still don’t know where to start or how to access affordable housing opportunities.

Dangiwa also acknowledged the team’s proposals to institutionalise housing knowledge and reforms through the establishment of States’ Housing Reform Offices (SHROs) and a National Housing Reform Office (NHRO) as part of the Campaign, noting however that the Ministry will review the specifics to see how they fit into the Renewed Hope Housing Delivery Strategy.

Project Director for KTNN, Engr. Robert Ahen Chenge said the essence of the campaign and its proposed frameworks were aimed to deepening the transformative initiatives being led by the Minister and his team.

The Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign is designed to have two broad components; regional Executive Sessions in the six (6) geopolitical zones of the country and the State-by-State Homeownership Seminars.

The Minister directed the Permanent Secretary to constitute a technical review team comprising relevant departments and agencies like the FEDERAL MORTGAGE BANK OF NIGERIA (FMBN), Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Family Homes Funds Ltd, Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company Plc, and the Reform Coordination Department of the Ministry, to collaborate with KTNN in finalizing partnership modalities.
