Renewed Hope Estates: Dangiwa Threatens Contract Revocation Over Sub-Standard Work
The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Architect Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, has issued a strong warning to all developers of Renewed Hope Housing Estates and Cities across the thirteen locations nationwide to maintain high construction standards and deliver quality work.
To this end, he vowed not to tolerate any substandard work found on any Renewed Hope Project Site anywhere in the country.
The Minister, who spoke during the inspection of the ongoing construction work of the 1,500 and 500 Housing Housing Unit Renewed Hope Housing City in Kano State, said he would not hesitate to revoke the contract for any substandard work.
He said, ” We will not tolerate any substandard work found on any Renewed Hope Project Site anywhere in the country. Under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, we are very committed to ensuring that the houses that we build and the infrastructure are of good quality.
“To all the developers and contractors on our Renewed Hope Housing Projects, I want them to know that we will not tolerate poor quality work from any developer or contractor.
“If we identify any substandard work at any of the project sites, we will first demolish the structure, and the Contractor will have to rebuild as per standard, or we revoke the contract entirely.”
On the Kano project, he said: “We are impressed with the pace of work at the 1,500 Housing Unit Renewed Hope City that we are building here in Kano through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with a consortium of developers led by Continental Civil Engineering.
“I commend them for the speed and the workforce they have mobilised. For the 500-Housing Unit Renewed Hope City, which we are funding under the 2023 Supplementary budget, the project is not moving at the pace that we expect, and we want the developers to step things up so we can complete and commission”.
On the timeline, he said: “ We also want the developers to adhere to the timeline and finish within two to three months.”
