\"Nigeria<\/p>\n

\n

An ambitious housing<\/a> scheme has been launched by the Nigeria Police Force<\/strong> to ameliorate the housing challenges facing its rank and file across the country. The police, presently lack descent accommodation for its officers and men, as is visibly evident in the condition of most Police<\/strong> barracks.The more worrisome is that most policemen in Nigeria work and retire without having a home to spend the rest of their life.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, the force signed a joint development agreement with a property development company, Echostone Nigeria Limited, to develop 100,000 homes for its officer nationwide at the total cost of N750 billion.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, the Nigerian Police<\/strong> Property Development Company (NPPDC) will provide the land and Echostone will serve as the developer. The Nigerian Police Force Mortgage<\/a> Bank (NPFMB) will provide the mortgage facility and the off-takers.The project consists of a one, two and three bedroom homes, built to the highest quality standard and in a very beautiful environment with parks, gardens, schools and shops.<\/p>\n

Every estate will be provided with infrastructure such as paved roads, drainages, water, power (on and off-grid) and sewage systems and treatments.The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Taiwo Lakanu stated that the homes, which will be built over five to seven years period, will have the highest social impact on the families and lives of all policemen.He, however, called on the parties involved in the agreement to be committed to fulfilling their part for the success of the affordable housing<\/a> programme.<\/p>\n

The Managing Director, Police Property Company, Rudolph Obe said the IGP\u2019s approval of the massive housing programme for police officers and men is a direct economic empowerment and huge morale booster that will have a serious impact on the security of lives and prosperity. He added, \u201cthe men will be highly motivated to do more in their sacrifices for the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his part, the Managing Director, Nigerian Police Force Mortgage Bank (NPFMB), Suleiman Abubakar, stated that the homes will come with mortgages of up to 25 years and an interest rate of only six per cent per annum.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome policemen who cannot qualify for a mortgage immediately will benefit from the rental housing programme with an option to buy,\u201d he explained. A Director at Echostone, Mr. Sammy Adigun, said the intention of the agreement is to help policemen and women own their homes in their chosen location nationwide.<\/p>\n

He stressed that \u201cwhen our men and women are comfortable and motivated, they will perform better and be more committed to the difficult and challenging work of policing the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian Police Force is the single largest employer in the Nigerian economy and this project when achieved would be a major boost to the economy, the welfare of our police officers has a very high social impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, the Founder\/ CEO, Echostone International, Anthony Recchia said the property development company will be mobilising local and international partners to achieve the project seamlessly.\u201cEchostone is the only IFC EDGE (World Bank) Certified (Green) developer in Nigeria, which gives the Police huge confidence in the quality of homes that they will be getting from Echostone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
