The outgoing Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, has expressed appreciation to Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve in the Federal Executive Council, FEC, and contribute to the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Dangiwa made the remarks in reaction to the recent cabinet reshuffle that resulted in his exit from office alongside the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun. The development was confirmed on Tuesday.

In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media and Strategy, Mark Chieshe, the former minister described his time in office as both an honour and a duty in national service.

He stated that he was privileged to have been given the responsibility of leading reforms in Nigeria’s housing and urban development sector, adding that the experience was deeply fulfilling.

Dangiwa also conveyed appreciation to members of the FEC, his colleagues in government, heads of housing agencies, development partners, and ministry staff for their cooperation and support during his tenure.

“I wish to sincerely thank Mr President for the confidence he reposed in me to serve as Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development. It has been a rare privilege to contribute to the advancement of policies and programmes aimed at expanding access to affordable housing for Nigerians,” he said.

He noted that under President Tinubu’s leadership, the ministry achieved significant progress in repositioning the housing sector as a major contributor to economic growth, job creation, and social inclusion.

While acknowledging the directive to complete handover procedures in line with the presidential decision, Dangiwa assured that the transition process would be smooth and well-coordinated.

He reaffirmed his continued support for the objectives of the Renewed Hope Agenda and expressed confidence in the ability of the incoming leadership to build on existing progress and further accelerate delivery in the sector.

The former minister outlined key achievements during his tenure, including the rollout of the Renewed Hope Housing Programme, strengthened public-private partnerships in housing delivery, and reforms in land administration and housing finance.

“I am grateful to my colleagues in the Federal Executive Council, stakeholders across the housing value chain, and the dedicated staff members of the Ministry and its agencies for their commitment and hard work. Together, we laid strong foundations for a more structured and sustainable housing delivery system in Nigeria,” he added.

He further pledged continued dedication to national development and support for initiatives aimed at advancing housing, infrastructure, and economic growth in the country.
