The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, says the service is partnering with the Cooperative Mortgage Bank and real estate firms to construct 5,009 housing units for its officers nationwide.
Adeniyi disclosed this in a statement on Monday after brokering deals with real estate firms and a mortgage bank.
According to him, the housing scheme will feature diverse residences, including two-bedroom terrace bungalows and three-bedroom terrace duplexes, strategically located in Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Asaba, Masaka, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, and Abuja.
“The Service is providing temporary relief through staff quarters, but concerns persist regarding retirement and subsequent vacation from these quarters.”
“A strategic partnership has been formed with the Cooperative Mortgage Bank (CMB) to establish a sustainable housing solution. This collaboration aims to construct 5,009 Housing Units nationwide, providing a stable foundation for Officers and empowering them to invest in their families and futures, ultimately enhancing their effectiveness in serving the nation”, he stated
