The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has commenced the development of a 195-unit housing estate in Ogun State as part of broader efforts to expand affordable housing access and address Nigeria’s growing housing deficit. The project forms part of the Federal Government’s ongoing strategy to increase residential housing supply through institutional housing programmes and urban development initiatives. The estate project, located in Kobape, Abeokuta, was officially launched by FHA officials alongside state representatives and housing sector stakeholders. According to the authority, the development will provide a mix of residential housing units designed to improve homeownership opportunities for low- and middle-income Nigerians.

During the meeting, the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC) reportedly released the implementation circular required to operationalise the allowance across federal Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
