FHA Vows Massive Affordable Housing Construction Across Nigeria in 2026

The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has pledged large-scale construction of affordable homes nationwide in 2026, consolidating on progress made last year. Managing Director Oyetunde Ojo said the authority plans to deliver houses in all 36 states, including major projects in Bwari (FCT), Odukpani (Cross River), Ekiti, Abia, Akwa Ibom, and Kaduna.

Speaking at a three-day staff retreat in Ekiti State themed “Consolidating on the Gains of Positive Reforms,” Ojo emphasized that 2026 will focus on full construction and delivery of housing units, following groundwork laid in 2025, such as land acquisition and staff welfare improvements. “Our core mandate is housing delivery, and this year it’s construction-delivery, construction-delivery across the federation,” he said.

Ojo highlighted the Bwari project in Abuja, which is 86% complete and slated for inauguration by President Tinubu, noting that 70% of units will target the informal sector. He urged Nigerians to contact FHA to access affordable housing.

FHA’s Executive Director of Finance and Accounts, Dr. Mathias Byuan, confirmed that nationwide construction will begin in February, leveraging public-private partnerships to fund the projects. The authority has already secured and prepared land in all 36 states, including 200 units in Ado Ekiti on 20 hectares of land provided by Governor Biodun Oyebanji.

The authority aims to make affordable housing accessible to as many Nigerians as possible while supporting President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
