FRSC Set To Construct 20,000 Houses For Its Staff

In line with its  consolidation  programme of providing affordable residential apartments for
 its staff, the  Federal Road Safety Corps has concluded plans to commence the construction of 20,000  housing units across the country under a housing scheme  tagged “Vision 20,000  housing project,” as  part of measures to engender improved service
 delivery.

 Making this disclosure while receiving  the management team of the Federal Mortgage Bank, the FRSC  Corps Marshal and  Chief Executive Boboye Oyeyemi reiterated that “the
 housing initiative is in  partial fulfilment of the resolve of the Corps’ present  management to place  staff welfare on the front burner in order to provide the required incentive  for FRSC operatives to deliver on set goals of safer roads  and fuller lives in  the country”

 Speaking further,  the Corps  Marshal emphasized that the focus of the housing scheme will  be on “one man one house” residential arrangement to effectively provide  affordable houses for the Corps’ present staff strength of 20,000 in collaboration with the Federal  Mortgage bank and other major stakeholders in the housing  and financial sectors.


 Furthermore, Oyeyemi also said “under  the programme, 70% of the houses have been earmarked for  junior staff of the Corps with a numerical strength of 15,000 while officers
 account for 5,000 of  the staff strength. Realizing that housing remains a critical component for human development, we will vigorously pursue the vision  20,000 housing project to provide succor for our staff during and after their  service” he said. He added that FRSC management will subsidize the equity contribution of junior staff towards the scheme to make the payment affordable.


 Responding, the  Managing Director/CEO of the Federal Mortgage bank, Alhaji Gimba Komo  congratulated the  FRSC Corps Marshal on his recent appointment, commending the
 federal government  for the confidence reposed in the Corps to run its affairs by appointing a career staff as Corps Marshal.

 According to him,  the FRSC has  enjoyed a robust partnership with the Federal Mortgage bank  over the years,  through the provision of affordable housing units at Gwagwalada and Lokogoma, adding that the proposed vision 20,000 housing project will
 no doubt,
 incentivize the FRSC work force towards improved service
 delivery.
 Highlighting  further on the housing project, the Head of the FRSC Staff Housing Unit,
 Ebenezar Adebisi, Assistant Corps Commander, noted that under the first phase, the Corps will  provide 10,000 housing units in the Abuja-Niger-Nasarawa axis, while Lagos and Ogun will have 5,000 units. He also said that Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kaduna Kano states will each have 500 units while additional 1,000  houses will be staggered in the remaining states of the federation.
