Tinubu Administration urges states to lead as national homeownership campaign kicks off

The Federal Government has said the success of its planned National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign will depend largely on how effectively states translate federal housing reforms into concrete projects at the subnational level.

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, made this known in Ilorin, Kwara State, while addressing participants on the fourth day of the 14th National Council on Lands, Housing and Urban Development.

He said the campaign, scheduled to begin in Katsina State on March 4 and 5, 2026, is intended to bridge the gap between federal housing policies and on-the-ground delivery by state governments.

According to the minister, the initiative reflects the ministry’s resolve to work more closely with states and relevant institutions to ensure that housing programmes are not confined to policy statements but result in visible outcomes.

He described the campaign as an effort to align federal reforms, financing instruments and private sector participation with state-level housing priorities.

Dangiwa said the Federal Government expects governors, housing commissioners, permanent secretaries, housing institutions, developers and financiers to take ownership of the process.

“I want to use this platform to call on all stakeholders—governors, commissioners, permanent secretaries, housing institutions, developers, financiers and professionals—to actively support and participate in this campaign, which will be flagged off in Katsina State from March 4 to 5, 2026,” he said.

He added that the ministry’s approach is now focused on collective delivery rather than fragmented interventions, noting that federal agencies must work as a single system in support of state implementation.

“Our new direction is to ensure that the ministry and all Federal Housing Institutions function as one government, delivering results that directly support state and local implementation efforts,” Dangiwa said.

The minister explained that the campaign aligns with the Unified Housing Delivery Framework recently introduced by the ministry, which seeks to strengthen collaboration between the Federal Government and states in housing development and urban planning. He said the framework is designed to ensure that institutions do not operate in isolation but in a coordinated manner that supports large-scale housing delivery.

The campaign, organised by Know This Nigeria Network in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, will be implemented through regional executive sessions and public homeownership seminars.

These components are intended to deepen engagement between Federal Housing Institutions, Development Finance Institutions and state governments, while also increasing public awareness of housing opportunities.

The National Coordinator of the campaign, QS Muhammed Baba Adamu, said Katsina State would host the North-West edition as the first phase of the nationwide programme. He noted that the initiative provides a structured platform for sustained interaction among stakeholders, beyond periodic meetings.

“It provides clear and consistent platforms for awareness and engagement, and enables sustained interaction beyond one-off meetings or political cycles,” he said.

Adamu also said a key element of the campaign is encouraging states to establish State Housing Reform Offices to strengthen technical capacity within government.

“These offices will provide expert-level advisory and technical capacity within state governments, enabling them to convert opportunities into bankable and deliverable projects,” he said.

The council meeting in Ilorin brought together federal and state officials, housing professionals and development partners to deliberate on policy direction in the sector. Nigeria continues to face a significant housing deficit, with official figures indicating that about 15.2 million housing units are structurally inadequate, underscoring challenges related to urban renewal, infrastructure and access to finance.

Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, the Federal Government has been promoting reforms aimed at simplifying land administration, expanding housing finance and encouraging private sector participation, with the campaign positioned as a mechanism to support states in implementing these reforms at scale.
