I Remain Loyal to APC- Bukola Saraki
Category: Nigeria National News
Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Monday
restated his loyalty to the governing All Progressives Congress (APC).
Saraki also reiterated his belief that the President Buhari's
government will redeem its electoral promises made during the 2015
general elections.
The Senate President spoke at the 10th Abuja
Housing Show where top government officials and prominent stakeholders
in the housing sector brainstormed on the theme: “Expanding Access To Affordable Housing In Africa.”
Acknowledging the presence of the APC National Organizing Secretary,
Senator Osita Izunaso who earlier kick-started discussions at the
summit, Saraki assured that the APC government is unwaveringly committed
to the social welfare of the people while re-affirming his unalloyed
loyalty to the party.
"The Senate and the National Assembly as a
whole believe very strongly that we must make a difference in the
housing sector," he said.
The Senate President, reacting to
observations that the existing housing laws need respective amendment
and repeal, charged the organizers of the Summit to take a further step
by forwarding a document of laws requiring amendments to the National
Assembly.
"I assure you that action will be taken instantaneously," Saraki promised.
Saraki asserted that the Senate has commenced the review processes of
several laws affecting property rights and access housing in the
country. According to him, the review of the National Housing Fund Act
is on-going and would be completed before the end of the year.
According to the APC National Organizing Secretary, Senator Izunaso,
housing deficit in Nigeria is pegged at 17million housing units.
"As
at today, only 10 per cent of those who dream to own a house in the
country can afford it, as against the 92 per cent house owners in
Singapore. The central objective of the Summit, however, is to come
up with feasible strategies on how to end the problem of homelessness
in Nigeria," Izunaso said.
Other personalities at the Summit include
the representative of the Speaker of House of Reps, the Minister of
Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, Kano State Governor,
Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Hakan Çakıl,
TUC President, Comrade Bobboi Kaigama, among other investors.
