The President, the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), Dr Aliyu Wamakko, has felicitated with Muslims on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

In a statement issued Tuesday in Abuja, Wamakko admonished Muslims to use the occasion to pray for a secure and better Nigeria.

He also stressed the need to pray for national peace, economic development as well as the safe return of Nigerians who are on a pilgrimage to Mecca.

According to him, the task of repositioning Nigeria for greatness required the prayers and support of everyone irrespective of religion, tribe or political differences.

The President of REDAN used the opportunity to reiterate the commitment of the association towards quality housing delivery as a way of reducing the housing deficit in the country.

He noted that REDAN was already partnering with other relevant organizations within and outside the country on the need to ensure affordable and accessible accommodation for every segment of Nigerians nationwide.

He, therefore, appealed to President Bola Tinubu to ascent the Bill for an Act to establish the Real Estate Regulatory Council of Nigeria (RECON), stressing that bill, when signed into law, will enhance professionalism in the real estate business, reduce building collapses as well as address problem of housing deficit in the country.

The President of REDAN also advised state and local governments to put in place, policies and programmes that would assist their people in owning their houses and as such will improve their living conditions.

He restated the commitment of the association towards complimenting the efforts of government at all levels in ensuring quality and affordable housing for the citizens.
