Government must live up to its responsibility of developing policie that would strengthen primary mortgage institutions while simultaneously embarking on social housing projects across the length and breadth of Nigeria.

Under the GEJ admin, out of the ₦72bn fund, ₦42bn was allocated to Estate Development Loans. This amount should have financed the construction of at least 8million homes, costing approximately ₦5m each. So, the straightforward question is: where are the houses or estates?

Imagine if Nigeria had an efficient rail system that would enable the transportation of tomatoes produced in Kadawa, Kano State to Lagos State within 12hrs & at affordable price! It will vastly improve the earnings of the Kano farmer and the quality of life of the Lagos consumer.

An effective transportation system can have direct significant effect on the daily lives of the people. Properly targeted and managed investment in transport facilities will mean efficient travel that could save time, fuel, and reduce population.

Mallam Nasir El-Rufa'i belongs to an exceptional class of public servants that emerged in Nigeria's governance space at the turn of 21st century; breed of leaders with emphasis on evidence and due process-based governance!

Sometimes, I sit and think to myself, “I wish everyone knew who Mallam is, for real NOT media stories.” But it's fine; everyone is entitled to their own opinions about people and everything. 😌
