FG plans 10,000 housing units for medical workers
The Federal Government has unveiled plans to construct 10,000 housing units under the Renewed Hope Medic Cities initiative.
The project, spearheaded by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development in collaboration with the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), is aimed at improving the welfare of healthcare professionals and boosting productivity in the health sector.
The Minister of Housing, Ahmed Dangiwa, announced this during a meeting with the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) in Abuja.
He emphasised that the well-being of medical workers, including access to affordable and decent housing, is a priority under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Housing is critical to productivity, stability, and quality of life. Many healthcare workers face difficulties securing accommodation, especially in urban centers where medical facilities are concentrated. This initiative underscores our commitment to creating a more conducive environment for them,” Dangiwa said.
