Editor’s note
Family Homes Funds Limited (FHFL) and Agence Française de Développement (AfD) also known as the French Development Agency have completed a feasibility study on students’ accommodation across universities in Nigeria.
The feasibility study forms the initial phase of a partnership
between FHFL and AFD to implement a substantial programme of
Purpose-Built Students Accommodation in selected Universities across
Nigeria. The study was carried out through a consortium led by Mineral
Springs Inc. and the core objective is to accurately access needs and
collect data required to develop a sustainable financing structure for
University Student Accommodation in Nigeria.
Following the study, both Institutions now expect to proceed to the next phase including an initial investment of up to N30bn in a programme of high-quality student accommodation.
According to the Managing Director, Family Homes Funds, Mr Femi Adewole: “… with students’ enrollment in excess of 2 million, the huge shortage of decent and affordable housing for university students is often missing in discussions about affordable housing. Through partnership with the AfD and hopefully others, The Family Homes Funds is committed to working with our Universities and the Private Sector to promote a significant increase in the supply of housing for Nigerian students, particularly those from low-income families.
Our vision is for new students’ housing that provides a modern, high-quality living environment for the Nigerian student through deep deployment of technology and communications, innovative energy solutions and leveraging on standardization to enhance affordability. We need to provide our young people with living environments that enable them to compete in a global community and are thankful for the support from the AfD towards achieving this.”
