Just too late, inaugurate at this last minutes shows desperation and hypocrisy. Instead of award a contract for the construction of so so.....housing units. And so many illiterates will fall for this.

so becos it's last minute he shouldn't do anything again? Government and governance continues till may 29TH, don't be too myopic and biased

bushdoc9919:


Oh dear....I don't like Buhari...and once again I have to defend him....

Buhari could not build houses because the extremely corrupt Shagari government, as well as the drop in oil prices that had happened 18 months before he took over had rendered our economy broke.

Instead...he did the right thing at that time by running an austerity government.

But you won't appreciate that....nor would you and your party learn the lesson from 1984.....we are reliant on oil...and the only way to sustain any of the projects we are building when the oil price are high....is to run an innovation based economy....not a resource based economy.

But you PDPians....and for that matter APCians don't get it.

I don't want a leader who will build and build....I want a leader who will provide the means by which such buildings would be sustained for the long haul. And right now...PDP and APC have no answer to my worry.

My brother, you like Buhari, keep defending him, all I know is this, The man has never achieved anything in his life.

Nigerians! For once let's even acknowledge a good work when we see one and not just condemnations alone. Despite the security challenges, this man is still striving to develop the country. Obasanjo never had security challenge, but abuja/lokoja, Lagos / ibadan express road were not done,second Niger bridge was not done and this man is doing it..Almajiri problem that metamorphosed into Boko Haram which was caused by the northern elites, he's building schools for them. Haba....youths. [color=#990000][/color]

Ekowise:

it is called a PILOT MINISTERIAL HOUSING SCHEME.
the target is 2600 houses. always read well. it's obvious you are an anti-GEJ that's why when you read you don't see the good side of what you read, you only target the point to knock off the person.

Yes! Nigerians need change but is Buhari the change you need?

After 4years in the time of windfall all he can boast of is that he is planning to build 2600 units when fuel prices are drastically dropping. Abeg,remove sentiments and think it through.

Thank you sir, They're just too myopic.

Despite the many housing problems we have, a 102 units to me is too small.

at least a little drop of water makes an ocean, why nt appreciate d little u hav seen and pray for more!

Appreciate the little I see and pray for more? Little wonder we are not moving forward as a nation.

No pictures?
No specific location?
Just Suleja where in Suleja make I go photos come. Yeye people!

My guess there is a federal project just started around Rafin sayin area and I know it's only in bush clearing stage.

Good morning everyone in the house. My own litu contribution is dat "where exactly in suleja is dis project going on" cos I'm in suleja & I hvnt seen anytin hapenin here... Tnks

SeverusSnape:
See them, They will never acknowledge a good development, #jokers.

Show me the one Buhari commissioned

GMB has only commissioned mud huts that's why APC likes cheap brooms.

GEJ till 2019.

Shey the one wey dem, dem don share among theirselves already?

Before the houses build sef, all the ogas ontop go don book every room for the building For themselves and their sugar girls.

The Federal Government, in a bid to reduce the housing deficit in the country, has inaugurated its 102 housing units in Suleja, Niger State, built under the ministerial housing scheme.

The project, funded by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, was inaugurated by the Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Mrs. Akon Eyakenyi

#change4me is when we realize that a man who suddenly starts doing his job 6weeks to election is fraud

Its not about inaugurating 102 housing estate, its all about the outcome. Will they be viable?
Which class of people are the houses meant for? High income, medium or low income earners? Will the whole housing estate not be bought by one politrickian and the price hijacked?
Will the materials used in building be locally sourced materials? Will the stakeholders at the outright project be Nigerians or foreigners?


Reminds me of the biggest housing estate in West Africa Gwarinpa a sprawling estate which is a classic example of urban housing failure because of cost of ownership, FUS available inside, and no proper research as to what the Abuja dwellers need when it comes to housing and the targetted would be dwellers. Imagine an estate where occupancy isn't up to 45%.

EggovinMma:

He should do more commissioning In abuja, so that civil servants, NO MATTER the level can live in decent Govt Houses . Rubbish.

He's the president of Nigeria, not Abuja... every zone must get its fair share no matter how small...

SeverusSnape:

My brother, you like Buhari, keep defending him, all I know is this, The man has never achieved anything in his life.

Actually I don't...and when he was chosen....that is the day I lost faith in the APC.

The truth is...we need fresh blood...and Buhari is a return to the past. If APC had gone for Tambuwal/Fashola....I might have reconsidered my support.

But....back to your comment.

First....it is a flawed assumption that those of us who do not like PDP support APC. There are a few of us who support neither party. (One Nairalander backs Kowa Party, for example).

Second....you may clap for the achievements of GEJ....but they were made possible by the fact that oil prices were high. I don't clap...because we are not doing the right thing with the oil kudi.....we are not spending it solely on electricity, Ajaokuta and education(especially technical education).

Instead we are building projects with no thought as to how they will be funded tomorrow.(Key example...those 12 universities you GEJites love chattering about. How are we going to fund them tomorrow. ? The obvious answer is by increasing fees...at which point....everyone will grumble.).

And right now ...oil prices are low. And I have heard nothing from PDP about how they will run the economy in view of a low oil price (which is going to be the case for years to come....everybody and his grandma is drilling for oil....leading to a surplus...and lower prices). And if it is any comfort to you....APC has no ideas about that to.

So, I don't want to hear from PDP what Buahri has done, or has not done. I want to hear about PDP's preparation for the low oil price era. In 1984...Buhari's answer was an austerity regime. Is PDP going to do the same....while at the same time...doing what Buhari failed to do....and take Nigeria on the road to industrial development...and off oil?

That is what I want to hear from you PDPians and APCians....a robust discussion....not tribal warfest 2015.

LagosBoi2:
Begging for votes this last minute

Even if you commission a new Bayelsa, We will still not vote for you

#IHAVEDECIDED

Because it election period he should abandon every project look at you. U cannot be more radicalize than Abubakar Shekau. #You vote not Hate.

Yeah for the north!!

Hmmmm... You're good. I admire the way you discuss issues.
As for me too, I was sitting on the fence, expecting APC to bring up a young and vibrant candidate like Fashola, Rochas, or Kwankwaso , but no, they brought an old cargo ; that was when I started supporting GEJ voraciously. I just believe that no matter the short comings of GEJ, he's way better than Buhari.

Thanks for the clarification.

anambra state government has been building mass housing schemes for more than eight years now. it's part of their job

Mogidi:


You're not just dumb but irredeemably useless.

Seems you lack comprehension skills, while Fashola built low cost houses for the super rich, GEJ's low cost houses were directed at those who needed it most, what's difficult to understand in that post?

u sound even dumber

Bro, if its those houses, then I make bold to say, the project is complete sham, utter rubbish, absolute failure from the start and another means to embezzle tax payers money. Those houses have been abandoned before 2006 at that stage. Imagine building houses on low lying grounds. Where is such kind of construction practiced without need to have flooding control measures in place should there be heavy downpour, why must the project be situated down there on an expressway and no crash barriers to minimize impact of crash or accidents which could make cars career of the road down that ditch, how many people are the planners, engineers, architect and surveyors planning to kill in that estate via that senseless estate construction?

I just hope it is NOT those abandoned projects.
Na wa o!

i have heard that too. i heard the newly built hotel by the side was abandoned due to constant disturbances from evil spirits at night, so the owners salvaged the doors and windows and fled.the other side have an estate but I'm not too sure that if it's occupied. that place have thousands of acres of quality unoccupied land

When are we going to loose this bungalow, soak-away, well mentality? This is 2015 for goodness sake. Can you imagine how much land as been used for these 102 bungalows, and the length of time to construct them?

How to build a skyscraper in NINETEEN DAYS: Time-lapse shows how Chinese firm builds 57-storey block at a rate of three floors a day

The building has 800 apartments and enough office space for 4,000 people
It was originally planned to be built up to a height of 220 storeys
However, it was cut down because of concern it was too close to an airport
Amazing time-lapse video shows the skyscraper rising up in seconds


A developer in China has built an entire 57-storey building in just 19 days.

And as this time-lapse video shows, the Mini Sky City building was put up brick by brick at a rate of three full storeys a day in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province in south-central China.

The building has 800 apartments and enough office space for 4,000 people. It was originally planned to be built up to a height of 220 storeys, but it was cut down because of concern it was too close to a nearby airport.

Here is a 30 storey building completed in 15 days. We lack imagination in this country.

Building 102 bungalows means:-

Constructing 102 foundations
Constructing 102 roofs
102 soak-aways
102 wells or bore holes
102 generators

You can build 1 building with 200 appartments, 1 roof, 1 foundation, 1 sewage system. This can be done for 10% of the cost of the 102 bungalows and at 1% of the time.

Think people. Think!

My brother, the 1st day I saw those houses, I shook my head because I knew no sane person will take his family there to stay. No crash barrier, no flood control. I was wondering whether the developers really knew what they were doing.
