The federal government has urged developers, financial institutions, pension funds, real estate and agribusiness investors to embrace the recently-launched Mass Housing and Agricultural Settlement Project as a scalable model to be replicated across the pilot state (Niger) and beyond.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, made the call in Abuja at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI), and Niger State Government.
The project, to be implemented by MOFI and Niger State Government, is designed to integrate housing development with agricultural productivity under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Finance.
Edun stated that the MoU signing ceremony represented more than a formal agreement, describing it as a powerful demonstration of cooperative federalism, strategic alignment, and shared commitment to inclusive economic development, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The minister stressed that the MoU sent a clear signal to the investment community that Niger State, working in alignment with Federal Ministry of Finance and MOFI, was open for credible, well-structured, and impact-driven investment.
