The Group Chief Officer and Managing Director, Revolution Plus Property Limited, Mr. Bamidele Onalaja has called on economic managers to make land documentation seamless to address the nation’s huge housing deficit.

Indeed, the Managing Director noted that the move is apt to bridge the country’s housing deficit with currently stands at 18 million.

The real estate expert stated this at the unveiling ceremony of Revolution Plus Property being the official real estate partner of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Onalaja also noted that to address the nation’s housing deficit, required intensive collaboration between the federal government and the private sectors in the housing sector of the economy.

In his words, “We are working round the clock to address this situation. The government must partner the private sector, make lands available and most importantly, ensure a seamless land documentation procedure to help us achieve our aim to bridge the housing deficit to the barest minimum.”

On the partnership with NFF, he said would give footballers and football fans both home and abroad the opportunity to own houses of their own at affordable prices.

“We are aware that these players cannot play football all through their lifetimes, so this is why we are partnering with NFF to get access to these footballers and fans to showcase our flexible and affordable housing products across the country,” he said.

He added: “This is the beginning of great things to come. It is a five years deal and we hope to strengthen our partnership with NFF in the years to come.

Also speaking, the president, NFF, Amaju Pinnick, commended the company for their support towards sports development, saying that investing in property is a good step towards achieving life time goals.

According to him, with the partnership, Revolution Plus Property Limited has been granted easy access to the Nigerian national teams.

“The partnership is unique because property and football is coming together and it would give every player the opportunity to invest in the nation’s housing sector. The company is very credible offering flexible payment options for low income earners to own houses,” he said.

The Group Executive Director, Revolution Plus Property Limited, Mrs. Tolulope Onalaja said it is a great opportunity to be the official sponsor of the NFF, while also calling on the private sector in real estate business to strengthen their partnerships to bridge the nation’s huge housing deficit.
