The leading housing advocacy group in Nigeria, Housing Development Advocacy Network has congratulated Senate President, Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan on his 61st birthday.
The Network joins the National Assembly, his constituents and well-wishers of the Senate President in wishing him a happy birthday.
The Network used the opportunity of the birthday celebration to task the Senate President to use his office to expedite action on all outstanding housing bills currently before the National Assembly which they believe will go a long way in reducing the over 20 million housing deficits in the country and make the issue of affordable homes for Nigerians a reality.
