“This is the first time we have a platform that every Nigerian has access to. This provides an opportunity for all Nigerians to apply and ensure a fair process of allocation.

“We introduced the online portal from which the national housing programme will be offered to members of the public. The forms are online and allow for more openness, limit human interventions, and hold us more accountable. The endgame is an economic objective.

“During the planning, the country was in a recession. About 1,000 contractors (small and big) got contracts. No international contractors were involved but Nigerians. It also gave the contractors an opportunity to sustain their staff. Also, all materials for the project were local made materials,” he said.

Fashola noted that the least amount of house selling on the scheme is N7.2 million, while the highest-selling is N16.19 million.

He added: “Applicants can also take a virtual tour of the property they are interested in. They can apply and register with email and phone number. Upon verification, they can complete their application.

“We have included the abridged drawings of each estate. When an allocation is booked on the online portal, it will show that it is no longer available. This way we avoid duplicity. The back-end online staff working on this.

“We have different house types which are the result of a survey we undertook. There are 1,2,3 bedroom semi-detached bungalows.”

It is not only the house but it also has adjoining lands. There are also 1,2,3 bedroom in the condominium.

“We will soon start the official handover and tape cutting as the subscribers come in. We have maintenance and facilities managers in all the estates. We encourage people to pay through mortgages.”
