Our first thoughts and actions are to avoid the limitations of the past initiatives and deliver a sustainable programme of national housing that has wide acceptability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe roadmap to this in our view is to evolve nationally acceptable designs that respond to and accommodate our socio-cultural diversity. Having meticulously evaluated some 21 options, we have based on research adopted the following six designs, with input from a diverse team of Architects from across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a hre=\"http:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2017\/05\/housing-shortage-fashola-canvasses-mortgage-financing\/\"> Vanguard <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] By Peter Egwuatu IN order to overcome the housing shortage in the country, the Minister\u00a0of &hellip; <a title=\"Housing shortage: Fashola canvasses mortgage financing\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/housing-shortage-fashola-canvasses-mortgage-financing\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Housing shortage: Fashola canvasses mortgage financing<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[519,15237,12908,543,617,489,344,15258,684,408,312,522,1007,818,678,15282,907,3053],"class_list":["post-4768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-africa","tag-canva","tag-home","tag-home-buying-guide","tag-house","tag-houses","tag-housing","tag-indeed","tag-lagos","tag-mortgage","tag-mortgages","tag-nigeria","tag-owners","tag-real","tag-rental","tag-ross","tag-tenant","tag-tenants"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Govfashola1.jpg?fit=412%2C270&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
