The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has approved and announced uniform sale prices for housing units under its ‘Renewed Hope Estate Programme’ across all states of the federation.

The housing units, which comprise one, two, and three-bedroom semi-detached bungalows, a statement in Abuja by the  Director, Press and Public Relations, Badamasi Haiba, stated, are part of the ministry’s efforts to make homeownership more accessible and equitable for Nigerians.

“The approved selling prices are as follows: One-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, N8.5 million; two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow: N11.5 million and three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, N12.5 million,” the statement added.

The adoption of uniform selling prices, according to the statement, aims to promote affordability, transparency, and fairness, ensuring that Nigerians across all regions have equal opportunities to benefit from the Renewed Hope Housing Programme.

Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, stated that priority in the allocation of the housing units will be given to low and middle-income earners, civil servants at all levels of government, employees in the organised private sector with verifiable sources of income, and Nigerians in the Diaspora who wish to own homes in the country.

The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, explained that several payment options have been provided to make the houses affordable and flexible. These include outright (full) payment, mortgage, rent-to-own scheme, and installment payment plans.

The ministry further announced that the sale of the completed housing units across the northern and southern regions will soon commence.

“Applications can be made through the Renewed Hope Housing online portal at www.renewedhopehomes.fmhud.gov.ng, or obtained from the ministry’s headquarters and field offices nationwide,” the statement added.

However, the ministry clarified that the approved prices apply strictly to the Renewed Hope Housing Estates which are funded through the ministry’s  budgetary allocation,  as against the Renewed Hope Cities in Karsana Abuja, Janguza Kano, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos which are being funded through a Public Private Partnership (PPP).

    President Bola Tinubu, yesterday, charged the new Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN, to serve with integrity beyond reproach.

    Speaking at the swearing-in of Amupitan as the sixth substantive chairman of INEC at Council Chambers, State House, Abuja, Tinubu declared that his first litmus test would be the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State.

    Amupitan pledged to defend the Nigerian constitution and the electoral system.

    The president told the new INEC head, “Your nomination and the subsequent confirmation by the senate are a testament to your capacity and the confidence reposed in you by both the executive and the legislative arms of government.

    “This significant achievement marks the beginning of a challenging, yet rewarding journey, and I trust that you will approach your responsibility with the highest level of integrity, dedication and patriotism.”

    Tinubu stated that the country had been on a path of democratic governance and learning since 1999, with notable achievements in the strengthening of various institutions.

    He stated, “Our democracy has come a long way in 25 years. We have consolidated and strengthened our democratic institutions, particularly in electoral systems, through innovations and reforms.

    “We have learned a great deal along the way and have improved significantly from where we were many years ago. We must now remain committed to the principles that underpin democracy in a complex and multifaceted society.

    “The electoral process is a vital part of a democracy that grants the people the exclusive right to choose their leaders and shape their future. To ensure that our democracy continues to flourish, the integrity of our electoral process must be beyond reproach.”

    Stating that the governorship election on November 8 in Anambra State would serve as a litmus test for Amupitan, Tinubu asked the new leadership of the electoral commission to brace up for the challenge.

    He said, “It is important that our elections are free, fair and credible. We must consistently improve our electoral process, addressing the challenges of yesterday and innovating for today and tomorrow.

    “To maintain public trust in the election, electoral integrity must be protected. All aspects of the process – from registration to campaigning, the media access, voting and counting should be transparent, non–violent and credible.”

    Tinubu added, “No electoral system is flawless, but since elections are vital to a nation’s future, it is essential to continually strengthen electoral institutions, ensuring that they are robust, resilient and safeguarded against artificial setback.

    “I, therefore, charge you, Professor Amupitan, as you take on this important assignment to protect the integrity of our electoral process and strengthen the institutional capacity of INEC.”

    The 58-year-old academic outlined his plans to reform Nigeria’s electoral system, strengthen institutional independence, and rebuild public trust in the commission at the screening.

    In an interview with newsmen after his inauguration, Amupitan pledged to defend the constitution and Nigerian laws as they relate to the electoral system.

    He stated, “So, I will reaffirm what I have just taken, that I’m going to defend the constitution and the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as far as it relates to the electoral system, and like the president said, I was given a clear charge to ensure credible, fair and free election.

    “Not just that, I will ensure that that is done. I’m also going to engage all the stakeholders, because no matter how you set the barometer and the level of success, you still need all the stakeholders to be able to succeed.”

    The swearing-in ceremony followed the senate’s confirmation of Amupitan’s nomination on October 16. He succeeded Professor Mahmood Yakubu, whose tenure ran from 2015 to 2025.

    Kwankwaso: 2027 Poll Will Be Tough, We’re Open to Alliance with Any Political Party

    Former Kano State Governor and presidential candidate of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in 2023, Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso, has predicted that the 2027 elections would be the toughest in Nigeria’s democratic history.

    Kwankwaso also declared his party’s readiness for alliances with other political forces, including President Bola Tinubu, Goodluck Jonathan, and Peter Obi.

    Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso, who recently marked his 69th birthday, predicted a more intense and tough contest, saying Nigerians have become more politically aware and determined to change their circumstances.

    He stated, “I believe the 2027 elections will be much tougher. People are now more informed, more concerned, and more involved. Everyone is seeking a way out because of the country’s current situation.

    “Thanks to radio and social media, the masses now know more. You may see things that have never happened before in Nigeria’s electoral history. People will not sell their votes this time, they want real change.”

    Kwankwaso declared that  NNPP was willing to collaborate with any political party or individual that shared its vision for a prosperous Nigeria and commitment to the welfare of the masses.

    But he was quick to add that any merger or alliance must be anchored on mutual respect, clear benefits, and shared ideals, particularly the upliftment of the common man.

    The former presidential candidate stated, “We’re ready for anyone, whether it is the APC, PDP, ADC, Jonathan, or Peter Obi. If we are satisfied with their competence and integrity, we will join forces to achieve success.

    “But whoever we align with must be committed to improving the lives of Nigerians. If they fail to meet our expectations, we will not continue with them.

    “What we are asking for is simple, that the common people should benefit, that the youth should be educated, and that security should be improved.”

    Kwankwaso stated that NNPP, which fielded candidates across all states in the 2023 elections, had become a national force capable of influencing the political direction of the country.

    He recalled that in September, he had hinted at the possibility of NNPP working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), but stressed that such a move must come with tangible value for the NNPP structures and candidates.

    He said, “If you are asking us to join APC, you must tell us what NNPP will gain. We have gubernatorial candidates in all the states and full structures nationwide. What will you offer them if we join?”

    The former Minister of Defence also took a swipe at Nigeria’s political elite, accusing them of neglecting the suffering of ordinary citizens while living lavishly in Abuja.

    Kwankwaso said, “Our people are being killed in Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, and parts of Kaduna. The victims are ordinary citizens. The elites have fled to Abuja, where they live in luxury building big houses, driving expensive cars, and enriching themselves at the expense of the people.

    “They act as if they are untouchable, but I am confident that Allah will judge them accordingly.”
