The model, according to the Managing Director of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), Mr. Shehu Usman Osidi, is exclusively designed for ‘Women In Housing’ where all the processes and value chain from site clearing, lto finishing would be carried out by only women.
The minister disclosed this on Tuesday during the visit of the MD of the Bank, Mr. Shehu Usman Osidi and his management team to the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.
The minister identified housing poverty as one of the systemic barriers women continue to face in Nigeria, despite making up a significant portion of the population, thus welcoming the collaboration between the Ministry and the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria in finding a lasting solution that will bridge the gender gap in home ownership.
