The Renewed Hope Housing Delivery Portal, inaugurated by Minister of Housing and Urban Development Ahmed Dangiwa, opens doors to 100,000 homes across Nigeria.

Accessible via the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates web portal (https://renewedhopehomes.fmhud.gov.ng), Nigerians, including those abroad, can apply for homeownership.

In his address in Abuja, MDangiwa emphasized the ministry’s commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s vision of overcoming obstacles to homeownership.

The portal, a component of the Renewed Hope Housing Programme launched by the president, offers an online, transparent, and user-friendly platform for home sales.

Minister Dangiwa noted the ministry’s collaboration with developers, including Continental Civil, to deliver the promised housing units, with the portal playing a crucial role in this partnership.

“The housing platform will also provide the necessary data that we need to achieve our goal of implementing a demand-driven strategy for housing, by helping us to ascertain the nature of housing needs for different locations and demographics nationwide,” he said.

Dangiwa said that the ministry currently has estates in 12 locations and three cities across the country.

He said the estates are located in Yobe, Gombe, Ebonyi, Abia, Nasarawa, Benue, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Katsina, Sokoto, Oyo and Osun, and the cities are in Abuja, Kano and Lagos.

Dangiwa said the platform also integrated features that offered flexible payment options, including one-time payments and installment plans, catering to different financial situations.

He said the platform would provide easy access to mortgage plans, allowing homebuyers to check their eligibility and apply from anywhere in the world.

He added that the platform supported equity contributions for mortgages, streamlining financial planning for buyers.

The minister said buyers could also apply for the release of up to 25 per cent of their Retirement Savings Account balance for additional financial support.

Dangiwa charged all Nigerians to take advantage of the platform to apply for the houses, adding that “with the platform, you do not need to know anybody to own a home. It is transparent, and the criteria are open to all.

The ministry’s permanent secretary, Marcus Ogunbiyi, said that over the years, the ministry had been delivering houses manually but decided to break new ground by going digital.

The Ministry’s Director of ICT, Amiolemem Marcus, said the Renewed Hope Platform is a state-of-the-art web portal designed to enhance house delivery and revolutionise the real estate and mortgage sectors in Nigeria.

Marcus said that the website’s key features and benefits included its user-friendly interface and simplified registration, search, and application processes for homebuyers and developers.
