The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has applauded the Managing Director of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, for the remarkable transformation taking place in the agency under his leadership.
The commendation was made during a courtesy visit to the FHA headquarters in Asokoro, Abuja, by a delegation of the students’ body led by its National Public Relations Officer, Comrade Adeyemi Samson.
Comrade Adeyemi, speaking on behalf of the association, noted that 16 months into Ojo’s stewardship, the Authority has recorded significant progress. He emphasized that NANS would stand firm in defending the reforms against critics, while also highlighting the MD’s special employment initiative for persons with disabilities (PWDs) as a milestone that has given hope to vulnerable groups in the society.
According to him, “the employment opportunities extended to less privileged Nigerians have brought relief and progress to their families. We urge the FHA management to sustain this laudable stride.”
The NANS spokesperson further commended the FHA management for its transparency and accountability, stressing that the student body is committed to mobilizing public cooperation in support of the reforms. He also faulted certain civil society organizations for what he described as baseless allegations against the agency, urging stakeholders to seek proper understanding before drawing conclusions.
Responding, FHA Managing Director, Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, reaffirmed the Authority’s alignment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, assured that transparency and accountability would remain the core of its operations.
He advised the students to avoid being used for selfish interests, urged them instead to demand genuine accountability and conduct proper fact-finding before making judgments.
“My doors and that of the FHA management remain wide open to engagements that promote transparency and accountable leadership,” Ojo stated, pledging to consolidate on the gains of the past 16 months over the next four years.
The visit was rounded off with group photographs and other side attractions.
