President Bola Tinubu has directed the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to construct 5,000 housing units in every state of Nigeria for low-income earners.
Dr. Matthias Byuan, the newly appointed FHA Executive Director for Housing, Finance, and Accounts, shared this information at his inauguration reception held at the home of Sen. George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Dr. Byuan assured that the FHA would fulfill the President’s directive, aligning with the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He urged Nigerians to support the administration despite initial challenges, expressing confidence that President Tinubu’s leadership would ultimately benefit the nation.
Dr. Byuan thanked President Tinubu for his appointment and praised Sen. Akume’s support, emphasizing his leadership qualities and dedication to the betterment of Benue State.
Earlier, Elder statesman and Chairman of Benue APC Elders Council, Simon Shango and former senatorial candidate Lady Helen Atom also commended Sen. Akume for his efforts in facilitating Dr. Byuan’s appointment and called for prayers for his success.
Also, the lawmaker representating Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Terseer Ugbor, who spoke on behalf of the National Assembly members thanked Sen. Akume for once again demonstrating leadership by facilitating the appointment of Dr. Byuan who he said “will impact positively on the housing sector in Nigeria and also make Benue proud.”
In a vote of thanks, Benue State Chairman of APC, Comrade Austin Agada, urged politicians to follow the footsteps of Dr. Byuan, “who ran for the seat of governor of Benue State but was denied the party’s ticket.”
He complimented him “for being a unique politician who, in spite of his undeniable popularity and being one of the front-runners with the highest expenditure in the party’s last governorship primaries, declined to file a legal challenge on the outcome when he was denied the ticket.”
Agada expressed gratitude to Sen. Akume “for identifying a committed member who is capable of positively enhancing the lives of Benue people and fulfilling the mandate given him by the President.”
He charged members of the party to remain steadfast in their prayers and support for Sen. Akume and Dr. Byuan.
Present at the event were members of the State Working Committee of the party, members of the National Assembly, captains of industry, party supporters, friends, and many others.
