FG to Build 116 Housing Units for Civil Servants

The Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR has continued to show great commitment towards the welfare of Civil Servants by facilitating the construction of 116 housing units of two bedroom semi-detached bungalows at Gwagwalada, through the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation’s Federal Integrated Staff Housing (FISH) progamme.

In her Keynote address at the Ground-Breaking ceremony organised by the Office, in partnership with the Federal Government Staff Housing Loans Board (FGSHLB), financiers of the project, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, CFR, reiterated that the FISH programme came on board to mitigate housing deficits amongst Civil Servants, who were not able to get decent abode after the monitisation policy. She affirmed that the Ceremony is an indication of a turning point in the the attainment of government’s agenda of enhancing the welfare of Civil Servants, through the provision of quality and affordable housing.

While expressing delight on the positive outcome experienced since the inauguration of an Inter-Ministerial Implementation Committee on the FISH Programme to address public sector housing deficit, Dr Yemi-Esan thanked the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, under the Honourable Minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN for providing land that spans about five (5) hectares in a prime area of Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT. She also hoped for more of such, in near future.

She expressed the Office’s readiness to engage and partner with reputable developers and other well-meaning stakeholders, especially in the areas of mortgage and alternative financing. Her expectation was that the Estate, when completed, will provide comfort to Civil Servants, as well as aid the transformation of the Gwagwalada landscape.
