The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development drives national housing policy, urban renewal, mortgage finance, building standards, and the planning of cities and satellite towns to address Nigeria's estimated 28-million unit housing deficit.
It supervises the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute, and federal housing estates across all states. It also administers the National Housing Fund scheme.
Current priorities include the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates programme, slum upgrading, expansion of the Family Homes Fund and rent-to-own schemes, reform of land administration in collaboration with states, support for local building-materials manufacturing, and a national urban-development policy aligned with the SDGs.
