Housing Ministry Honours Outstanding Staff at 2025 Ministerial Awards Ceremony

The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has held its 2025 Ministerial Rewards and Recognition Award Ceremony, reaffirming its commitment to promoting excellence, integrity, and outstanding service delivery within the Civil Service.

The colourful ceremony, which took place at the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja, brought together top management staff, directors, and employees to celebrate eleven exceptional officers whose dedication, professionalism, and performance distinguished them among their peers.

The Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, stated that the initiative aligns with the directive of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to institutionalize a culture of merit-based recognition, productivity, and excellence across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.

The Minister expressed deep appreciation to the Award Selection Committee for their diligence and transparency in the screening process, noting that their efforts ensured that only truly deserving staff were honoured.

“This occasion is one of the proud moments for the Ministry. I am particularly pleased with the spread of award categories and the quality of awardees selected from across various departments,” he said.

Arc. Dangiwa further emphasized the importance of mentorship in the service, urging Directors and senior officers to deliberately groom and guide younger officers before exiting the system. According to him, sustained mentorship is critical to preserving institutional knowledge and strengthening the future of the Civil Service.

In his opening remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, described the awards ceremony as a strategic initiative to motivate staff, encourage healthy competition, and reinforce a culture of excellence and accountability.

He noted that the Ministry’s performance at previous national Civil Service Awards, where some staff emerged winners, has further inspired the drive to achieve greater recognition at the national level.

“Our goal this year is not only to participate but to excel by winning multiple awards, including the overall best in the Civil Service category, which comes with significant incentives such as houses, vehicles, and computers,” he stated.

Dr. Belgore explained that while many officers are deserving of recognition, the awardees represent the peak of performance, having emerged through a rigorous and merit-driven selection process. He added that the Ministry has institutionalized a robust recognition system, including monthly staff awards and departmental “Staff of the Month” displays, culminating in the selection of overall best performers.

“Those honoured today have demonstrated consistent excellence and have earned their recognition through hard work and commitment to duty,” he added.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Director of the Special Projects Unit, Mr. Olatunde Ajayi, described the ceremony as a platform to celebrate excellence and inspire others to strive for higher standards of service delivery.

He assured that the selection process adopted by the Ministerial Awards Selection Committee was thorough, transparent, and strictly guided by Federal Public Service policies and guidelines. According to him, the criteria focused on measurable performance, accountability, commitment to service delivery, and continuous improvement.

The 2025 Ministerial Rewards and Recognition Award Ceremony underscores the Ministry’s unwavering commitment to building a motivated workforce driven by excellence, professionalism, and dedication to national development.

Falana Applauds FG's National Land Titling, Registration and Documentation Programme Kano, Nigeria: Human rights advocate and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Femi Falana, has commended the Federal Government for the implementation of the Nigeria Land Titling, Registration and Documentation Programme (a.k.a Land4Growth), describing it as a bold, progressive and transformative intervention that will unlock economic growth, enforce property rights and protect citizens from exploitation. Falana delivered his remarks today on Day 2 of the ongoing 30th Conference of Directors of Lands, holding in Kano, where he presented a detailed position paper on the reform of Nigeria’s land administration system. He applauded the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development for championing a programme that targets increasing Nigeria’s formal land registration from less than 10% to 50% within a decade, in partnership with the World Bank. According to him, a properly executed nationwide land titling programme will mark the beginning of a new wealth creation era for millions of Nigerians and put an end to decades of informal transactions, land disputes, corruption and the harassment of citizens by illicit land operators and omo onile cartels. He stressed that over 90% of Nigerian land assets currently exist as ‘dead capital’, a condition that undermines mortgage access, hinders housing development, and limits economic participation. Falana, however, urged the government to ensure that the Land4Growth remains inclusive, accessible and free of financial burden for citizens, especially vulnerable households in rural communities. Accordingly, he called for a financing structure that places the responsibility of titling costs squarely on the government while ensuring legal enforcement and transparency at every stage of implementation. He further noted that the success of the programme must go beyond digitization and urban pilots, warning that without parallel reforms in enforcement of the Land Use Act and protection of customary rights, digitization could simply “modernize the old inequities.” He also advocated a stronger linkage between land titling and financing mechanisms under existing laws like the National Housing Fund and Federal Mortgage Bank frameworks, so that formal titles translate directly into real access to mortgages and mass housing delivery. The Senior Advocate, concluded with a strong call to action to stakeholders across government institutions, financial institutions, developers, civil society and youth to treat the Land4Growth as a national development imperative, not just a technical exercise. “ No country can develop without proper land documentation,” he declared, urging stakeholders to seize the moment to restructure Nigeria’s land sector into a transparent, equitable and economically empowering system for all citizens. ...

Housing Minister Charges States To Allocate One-to-three Percent Annual Budgets For Land Titling Programme * Says Land4Growth is Nigeria’s Surest Path to a $1 Trillion Economy The Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa has issued a bold call for State Governments to dedicate between 1 and 3 percent of their annual budgets to land administration and systematic land titling, declaring that credible land governance is the country’s strongest lever for building a trillion-dollar economy. Dangiwa made the call in Kano, in a keynote address at the opening of the 30th Conference of Directors of Lands in the Federal and States Ministries, Departments and Agencies, Tuesday, 25th November, 2025. " I strongly recommend and charge that Nigerian State Governments ring-fence between 1 and 3 percent of their annual budgets for land administration and systematic titling during the reform and scaling phase" he stated The theme for the 30th Conference is Nigeria Land Titling, Registration and Documentation Programme (NLTRDP): Implementation Mission Dangiwa explained that International evidence shows very clearly that Ministries responsible for land administration around the world operate on about one percent of the total public budget. He said " based on these global benchmarks and our own national realities ... a sustainable allocation of 0.5 to 1 percent will be sufficient to maintain digital registries, continue systematic documentation, and keep the cadastre up to date" The minister further stated that, half of the allocation must go directly to real service delivery- systematic titling, digitisation, modern registries, surveys and dispute-resolution-not vehicles, furniture or overheads. " If we spend on impact, not overheads, every State will unlock revenue, citizens will gain secure property rights, and land will become a true economic asset, not dead capital. And let me say this confidently: the success of the Land4Growth Programme is Nigeria’s surest bet to achieving the One Trillion Dollar Economy" he remarked Accordingly, Dangiwa stated that, land becomes bankable, when citizens can use it for credit, when investors trust the registry, and when States earn sustainable revenue from property markets, saying that ' we will unlock growth on a scale that can transform our national economy. That is how land becomes wealth, and how this sector can power Nigeria’s economic future.” he stated. The Minister further disclosed that the last World Bank Doing Business ranking on Registering Property, Nigeria performed poorly due to excessive procedures, long timelines, and high costs, this he said, creates uncertainty for investors and unnecessary hardship for citizens He noted the identical challenges across the states as; complex manual workflows, fragmented and outdated paper records, corruption risks, tenure insecurity for vulnerable groups, and very low revenue collection despite huge potential. He also told the participants that, under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, land administration will be treated not as routine bureaucracy but as a strategic economic reform, adding that government had begun to translate the commitment into concrete action. " I have directed the Director Lands to make sure every Director has a copy of the Concept Note and Framework. embrace it and properly guide your State Governments to adopt it and work with us at the Federal level to implement it" Dangiwa said " We are not yet where we want to be, but we are certainly not where we were last year. We are moving - and we are moving with purpose.We have within this period introduced the Nigeria Land Titling, Registration and Documentation Programme (Land4Growth) to unlock an estimated $300 billion in dead capital, and are finalizing a partnership with the World Bank and state governments to register, document, and title land nationwide" he concluded Earlier in his opening remark, the Permanent Secretary of Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Shaiub Belgore stated that the annual Conference of Directors of Lands has served as a key platform for professional exchange over the years He said " As we mark the 30th edition, it is important that this gathering does not remain a yearly talk shop. The true value of this conference will not be measured in speeches, communiqués or photographs, but in how the knowledge gained here is translated into practical reforms in your States" ...

Affordable housing by providing options for low-income earners.

Sustainable development by Promoting sustainable housing development practices and environmentally friendly materials.
Regulatory frameworks
Public-private partnerships

Keynote address delivered by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Marcus O. Ogunbiyi, at the launch of Performance Management day at the Ministry’s Headquarter, Mabushi, Abuja on 10th October 2024.

Protocols:

It is with immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I am with you today to officially launch the weekly Performance Management System (PMS) Day in our esteemed Ministry.

2. This is the beginning of a transformative journey for us as we heed the directive from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, which mandates every Thursday to be set aside for activities related to Performance Management System in the Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies and be christened “PMS Day”.

3. This directive is not just a routine exercise; it is a call to action for all of us to fully embrace the vision of an efficient, effective, responsive and performance-based Federal Civil Service.

4. Performance Management System is a tool for goal and target setting, appraisal and monitoring of employee performance and the delivery of institutional mandates. It provides a systematic process of planning work, setting targets, providing support to employees and measuring results.

5. It also provides the framework for continuous tracking of employees’ performance in a manner that is consistent and measurable, for developing and improving their capacities to perform on their jobs and for motivating them for increased productivity.

6. The institutionalization of a functional performance management system being one of the six pillars of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025, (FCSSIP25) will improve efficiency and productivity in the public service and is key to achievement of the objectives of the ongoing reform initiatives and culture re-orientation in the Public Service.

7. It will also ensure appropriate linkage of key government tools towards the attainment of national development goals and entrench a merit-based system in the Public Service. As a matter of fact, institutionalizing PMS is a cornerstone for our efforts to transform the entire Nigerian Public Service as a result-based and performing institution. PMS is an essential tool that provides a guide for the MDAs’ operations as we seek to reclaim our enviable position in delivering high-quality services to the Nigerian people.

8. The introduction of PMS has remained a timely project, and I have no doubt that it is exactly what the Federal Civil Service needs at this critical time to elevate our service delivery standards, enhance accountability, and build a positive culture of productivity, consequent management and continuous improvement in both personnel and institutional performance.

9. Today, as we launch the PMS Day in the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, we are not just institutionalizing a PMS weekly activity in the Ministry; we are reinforcing our commitment to excellence that has been the guiding ethos of the Ministry in the achievements of its deliverables of the Presidential Priorities and the implementation of the FCSSIP25 reform initiatives.

10. It is crucial to understand that the full implementation and institutionalisation of PMS is not just the responsibility of a few; it is a collective responsibility that spans all levels of our Ministry, from the most senior management cadre to the lowest-ranked officers, including security personnel and the janitorial service providers. Everyone has a vital role to play in ensuring that PMS is not just a beautiful policy on paper but a living, breathing organisational culture within the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

11. To all Directorate level officers, you are the leaders and the vision bearers of your respective departments. As PMS supervisors, your roles in driving this initiative cannot be overstated. Your commitment to the institutionalization of PMS in your respective departments are what will inspire and motivate other staff and team members to follow suit. You are the ones who will set the tone for accountability and performance at the departmental levels, and I urge you to lead by example.

12. I commend all the Departments and Units that have cascaded signing of performance contracts with staff. We have no place to hide. We have been a performing Ministry. We are determined and we shall continue to perform because PMS has come to stay in this Ministry. To move our sector and country forward, you and I must embrace this world-best practice and your department should not be a reason for the Ministry to lose its enviable high-ranking position as one of the leading MDAs in the implementation of Federal Government reforms and programmes.

13. To our middle and junior-level officers, your dedication and hard work are the bedrock of our Ministry’s success. The PMS is designed to recognize and reward your contributions, ensuring that your efforts are aligned with our shared vision and that your professional growth is supported.

14. I encourage you to see this initiative as an opportunity to showcase your talents, sharpen your skills, and play active roles in the development of our Ministry and the nation at large.

15. It is normal for a very young Ministry like ours to face some challenges especially in a housing and urban development sector with a high level of expectations in creating possibilities for social infrastructure as enabler for growth. These have not in any way deterred the Ministry from exploring possibilities and innovative ways of bringing about possible solutions including partnering with our stakeholders to be able to deliver on the Ministry’s mandate as expected.

16. However, with the full implementation of the PMS, we have a robust framework that allows us to measure our progress, identify areas for improvement, and celebrate our successes. It is a tool that will guide our decision-making processes and ensure that every action we take contributes to the fulfillment of our mandates in formulating and implementing the policies, programmes and projects of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the Housing and Urban Development sector.

17. As we set aside every Thursday to focus and reflect on our PMS activities, let us all commit to these sessions with the seriousness they deserve. Let us use this time to evaluate our performances, identify the gaps that need addressing, and collaboratively find solutions that will drive our Ministry forward. The PMS Day is our collective space for reflection, learning, and growth.

18. In conclusion, I am confident that if we fully embrace the PMS, the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development will set the benchmark for other Ministries to follow. Together, we can create a public service that is responsive, innovative, and committed to excellence.

19. Thank you for your commitment and dedication, and I look forward to working with all of you to make this initiative a success. It is on this note that I hereby launch today and every other Thursday as the PMS Day in the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

20. Thank you and God bless.
