Dangiwa Thanks Tinubu After Exit as Housing Minister
Former Housing Minister Ahmed Dangiwa expressed gratitude to President Tinubu after being removed in Tuesday's cabinet reshuffle alongside Finance Minister Wale Edun. The outgoing minister described his tenure as both an honor and responsibility in national service.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant Mark Chieshe, Dangiwa highlighted key achievements under his leadership, including the rollout of the Renewed Hope Housing Programme, strengthened public-private partnerships in housing delivery, and reforms in land administration and housing finance.
'This has been a rare privilege to contribute to policies expanding access to affordable housing for Nigerians,' said Dangiwa, who assured of a smooth transition process. He reaffirmed support for the Renewed Hope Agenda and expressed confidence in incoming leadership to build on existing progress in making housing a key contributor to economic growth and job creation.
