The Commissioner of Housing and Urban Development Fausat Ibikunle has said that Kaduna State Government is using a combination of Public Private
Partnership and direct intervention to bridge its housing deficit. The commissioner disclosed that the state government is building 228 housing units at Rigasa and 224 others at Unguwan Tanko within Kaduna metropolis as part of its Social Housing Programme that targets low income earners.
‘’As we speak now, we have about 428 units of between one and three bedroom houses in Kaduna metropolis alone, that are under construction. Many of them have reached an advanced stage and we have even put them out in the market for sale. ‘’And we have also awarded contract for additional housing units, starting with 100 units each, in Zaria and Kafanchan. Those ones are about to take off,’’ she further explained.
Hajiya Fausat said that some of the housing units have already been completed in Rigasa, adding that a one bedroom house costs N4,230,000 while a semi detached one-bedroom costs N5,170,000 and a two bedroom bungalow costs N6,570,000. ‘’Kaduna state is doing quite a lot, not just on its own but in partnership with the private sector. Since 2015 that this administration came in, it has partnered with so many developers who are interested in building mass housing in the state,’’ she disclosed.
