Nigeria FG, states push single-digit mortgage rates, longer repayment for affordable housing

Nigerian federal and state officials, including Dantsoho, advocate for single-digit mortgage rates and extended repayment terms to expand affordable housing access, specifically targeting the informal sector. The proposal signals a policy direction shift but lacks concrete implementation details or legislative backing. This matters as housing affordability is a persistent socio-economic issue in Nigeria, though the immediate market impact is limited.
