The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to provide affordable houses and reduce the housing deficit faced by public servants.
She further stated that civil servants are critical components of development in a nation and special attention must be given to their housing welfare.
She said, “This groundbreaking event is a watershed moment in accelerating the attainment of the government’s agenda of ensuring the welfare of civil servants through the provision of affordable housing.” “The FISH programme was conceptualised as a vehicle to address the current housing deficit faced by civil servants consequent upon monetisation policy that saw the selling of government’s quarters across the country.”
On his part, the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, reeled out many policy efforts being carried out by the present administration, which he argued were targeted at uplifting the welfare of civil and public servants in Nigeria to make them comfortable enough to perform optimally.All rights reserved.
