Lagos Renewed Hope City Nears Completion at 80% – Dangiwa

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa has announced that the construction of 2,000 housing units at Renewed Hope City in Ibeju Lekki, Lagos State, is 80% complete.

Dangiwa revealed this during a site inspection, according to a statement by Badamasi Haiba, Director of Press and Public Relations. 

The project is set to be ready for presidential inauguration soon.

“The Ibeju Lekki Renewed Hope City project is 80 per cent completed, with over 700 housing units under phase one ready for commissioning.

“The administration of President Bola Tinubu is currently building seven Renewed Hope Cities, one in each geo- political zone and Abuja, FCT.”

Dangiwa said the  foundation laying for the second phase of the Lagos Renewed Hope City houses would  be done by the President after the commissioning of the 700 units of the first phase.

He added that the  Lagos Renewed Hope City, when fully completed, would deliver 2,000 housing units.

He said the project underscored the commitment of President  Tinubu to bridging housing deficit in Nigeria.

According to the minister, the  Renewed Hope Cities and Estates  initiative nationwide is aimed at providing decent and affordable housing for Nigerians.

Dangiwa also visited Lekki Economic Trade zone as part of the Lagos tour activities.

He inspected various housing projects, industries, building materials, testing laboratories, the deep sea port, Alaro City, Lagos Coastal City, and other ongoing developments.

He commended the  Lekki Worldwide Investments for providing a strategic site for the Federal Government Building Materials Manufacturing Hub within the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

He explained that the ministry planed to establish six Building Manufacturing Hubs, one in each geo-political zones, aimed at reducing housing production costs through facilitation of production of local building materials.

He disclosed that an investor has already been secured for the manufacturing hub project, which would cut Nigeria’s housing deficit by boosting local building materials production.

“The hub will promote local content, curb rising costs of materials, encourage domestic production, and ensure sustainable housing delivery nationwide,” he said.

Dangiwa said the intermodal transport infrastructure in Lekki, including a seaport, airport, rail and roads, would support the effectiveness of the hubs.

The minister added that the infrastructure would  attract real estate investments, as housing is required to support these developments.
