The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, has delivered a clear warning to developers working on the Renewed Hope Housing Projects nationwide, emphasizing the federal government’s firm stance on timely delivery and quality assurance.
During a status review meeting with developers from various states, the Minister underscored the government’s zero tolerance for delays, substandard construction, or contractor negligence.
“This administration is committed to doing things differently,” Dangiwa stated. “If you’ve signed a contract, you are expected to deliver as agreed—it is not business as usual.”
He warned that contractors who fail to meet expectations would not only be removed from current projects but also blacklisted from all future federal housing and infrastructure developments.
In cases where construction fails to meet standards, such structures will be demolished, and developers involved will face strict penalties.
“We are not just building houses; we are building homes. Government funding must yield real results,” Dangiwa said. “We will not tolerate incompetence or bad faith that threatens the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
While he commended developers who have shown professionalism and commitment, the Minister stressed that successful project delivery depends on meeting both timelines and quality specifications. He also directed all Federal Controllers of Housing in the states to intensify oversight of project sites to ensure smooth execution in line with approved standards.
The Renewed Hope Housing Programme is a key part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, aimed at expanding access to affordable housing and driving inclusive national development.
