Onukwubiri said: “Housing is the second most essential basic needs of humanity outside food and its impact on the health, welfare and output of man is profound.
According to her, the country’s housing crisis is further worsened by low-income of most Nigerians, who cannot afford privately constructed houses, which are very expensive.
She assured subscribers that the firm’s housing project is of quality construction, adding “our housing schemes are overseen by a team of professionals consisting engineers, architects and others, who were chosen on the basis of excellent management, technical and entrepreneurial skills.”
