The Federal Government is to construct 2,500 housing units in Bauchi State worth N15bn.
The Federal Ministry of Finance will provide the fund for the project.
The Minister of State, Works and Housing, Abubakar Aliyu, said last month the Federal Government would build affordable houses for low and middle-income earners across the country.
He said the FG’s target was to cut the 20 million housing deficit in the country by 2033.
Governor Bala Mohammed said after signing a memorandum of understanding with the Family Homes Fund Limited, the company handling the project, he was happy with the development.
He said his administration decided to support the project to address accommodation problem in the state.
Mohammed said the project would be executed across the six emirate councils.
The Managing Director of Family Homes Fund, Mr Femi Adewole, said the project was aimed at providing affordable houses across the country.
