Dogara said in Abuja during a two-day public hearing on a motion on the need to ensure full compliance with the National Housing Fund (NHF) Act for effective housing delivery in Nigeria.
The speaker was represented by the House Minority Whip, Rep. Binta Bello.
He expressed concern that policies designed to provide adequate housing for Nigerians had not yielded positive results due to violation of the NHF Act by the stakeholders.
According to him, there is need to unravel the reason why some stakeholders in the housing sector failed to comply with the NHF Act and the Federal Mortgage Bank Act.
“The National Housing Fund was designed to assist the public servants and private sector employees while saving a percentage of their income.
