Bashir Adeniyi, the Comptroller-General (C-G) of the Nigeria Customs Service, on Thursday launched 164 new housing units specifically designed for officers at the Gidan Iyali Estate, located in the Millennium City area of Kaduna.
The project encompasses 142 semi-detached two-bedroom bungalows, 20 semi-detached one-bedroom bungalows, and 2 three-bedroom duplexes, with the primary aim of offering affordable residential solutions to the service’s personnel.
Adeniyi emphasized that the provision of these housing units was not to mimic a barrack setting but was rather a strategic move to facilitate the acquisition of cost-effective homes for personnel during their service period.
He articulated that this initiative underscores a profound commitment to ensuring that the personnel are presented with viable opportunities to own homes, thereby mitigating the accommodation difficulties encountered by some upon retirement.
