The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, has disclosed that the Federal Government has allocated 675 hectares of land for the Diaspora City project situated at Maitama 2 in the Federal Capital Territory.
According to a statement signed by the Director of Information, Badamasi Salisu Haiba, the minister revealed this when a delegation from the African Descendants in Diaspora Union, led by the Union’s Diplomatic Administrator for Nigeria, Abraham Onwubuya, visited him in his office recently in Abuja. He assured Nigerians living in the diaspora of an enabling environment for participation in Nigeria’s housing market ecosystem, by putting in place the right frameworks for secured homeownership. According to Dangiwa, the project would be designed to have bungalows, semi-and detached duplexes, and mansions to reflect its inclusive essence. African Descendants in Diaspora Union is a platform created to foster unity, solidarity, and empowerment among African descent in the Diaspora. Dangiwa also expressed the commitment of the ministry to work with the union to achieve a shared vision of a prosperous and united Africa that would in turn create a better future for all citizens, both at home and abroad.
