For many Nigerian workers, access to affordable housing is one of the most tangible benefits of participating in the National Housing Fund (NHF) Scheme.
This was at the heart of discussions when the management of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), led by its Director-General, Dr. Kelechi Ohiri, visited the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) to discuss housing opportunities for its workforce, outstanding allocations and NHF refunds for retired staff.
A key issue raised was the outstanding housing allocation for 36 NHIA staff who were allocated homes at Brains and Hammers’ Bungalow City Estate, Abuja, but were yet to take possession.
FMBN Managing Director/Chief Executive, Shehu Usman Osidi, assured the delegation that the Bank would work to resolve the matter, emphasising that contributors who meet the requirements and follow the prescribed process should be able to enjoy the benefits of the NHF Scheme.
The engagement also explored opportunities for NHIA staff to access mortgage financing under ongoing housing initiatives, including the Renewed Hope City in Karsana.
