Domak Shelter estate, NAPS Unveils Nigerian Youth/Students Land and Housing Investment Scheme
Domak Shelter, a real estate and investment company in partnership with the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has unveiled the Nigerian Youth/Students Land and Housing Investment Scheme to cater for the housing needs of polytechnic students.
Chairman, Domak Group, Mr Kingsley Azonobi at the endorsement of the project in Abuja on Tuesday, said the project was a foundation upon which students could advance the course of their future.
Azonobi said that the project would also provide a platform to secure the future of polytechnic students after their academic life.
According to him, Nigeria youths make up 70 per cent of the nation’s populace and their neglect is what account for under development and poverty that has sank deep into the foundation of this nation.
He said it was however worrisome to see that 70 per cent of the components of the populace don’t have a stake in governing machinery.
He called on stakeholders to give hope, life, value and capacity to the youths by investing in their future.
In the same vein, Mr Olalere Adetunji, President of NAPS said that the scheme would allow polytechnic students to secure their future while still an undergraduate.
Adetunji said the scheme would accommodate over 2 million polytechnic students adding that the mode of payment and registration could be done online.
He said that the scheme would also help to correct social vices among the students and as well secure their future.
According to him, considering the housing deficit in Nigeria between 1994 till now, there is 700,000 housing deficit annually which the provision of 100,000 units of housing by the government cannot meet.
Adetunji said there was however need for individuals and bodies to rise up to the need of housing provision for low income citizens which the polytechnic students fall within.
“ In 1992, the Federal Government launch an housing scheme called Home Savings Scheme, which was designed for civil servants alone.
“ After a critical research of the success and failure of the Federal Government Housing since 1992 till now, the leadership of NAPS in partnership with Domak Shelter came up with a better idea for the entire polytechnic students.
“ In the pursuit of better opportunity for the polytechnic students, the idea of creating an housing investment scheme was born which allow students to invest in real estate by buying a plot of land with a daily, weekly or monthly contributions.
“NAPS negotiate with Domak Shelter to give opportunity by allowing soft payment for studs such as a daily contribution of N350, N2,450 on weekly basis and N 9,800 on monthly basis depending on the financial strength of students,” he said.

Eagle Times Newspaper Will Be Voice for Nigerians – Publisher Chukwunyere Vows
Joel Ajayi
The Publisher of The Eagle Times Nigeria, Sir Ikechukwu Chukwunyere, has pledged that the newspaper will promote accountability, credible journalism and public-interest reporting in its coverage of national affairs.
Chukwunyere made the commitment on Thursday, October 1, 2026, during the official unveiling and launch of The Eagle Times Nigeria.
He said the new media organisation was established not merely to add another newspaper to Nigeria’s media landscape, but to provide a platform committed to serving the public interest.
According to him, the newspaper’s guiding philosophy, “The Voice for the People, The Watchdog for the Nation,” places a responsibility on the organisation to listen to Nigerians, tell their stories, highlight issues affecting their daily lives and scrutinise those entrusted with public responsibilities.
“To be a voice for the people means that we must listen to Nigerians, tell their stories, highlight their concerns and give visibility to issues that affect their daily lives,” he said.
The publisher added that The Eagle Times would be guided by accuracy, fairness, professionalism, credibility and responsible journalism, stressing that the newspaper would not publish stories merely because they were sensational.
“We will verify. We will investigate. We will seek the other side. We will correct our mistakes when we make them,” he said.
Chukwunyere further stated that the newspaper would endeavour to give individuals and organisations the opportunity to respond whenever allegations were made against them.
“Our commitment is not to any political party, government or individual. Our primary commitment is to journalism, to truth and to the Nigerian public,” he said.
He noted that the newspaper was launching at a time when the media industry was undergoing rapid transformation, with audiences increasingly consuming news through digital platforms, including websites, television, podcasts and social media.
He said The Eagle Times would therefore operate as a multimedia organisation, combining its newspaper with digital platforms and The Eagle Times TV to reach audiences across different channels.
According to him, the organisation also intends to create opportunities for young journalists, writers, photographers, producers, digital creators and other media professionals to develop their skills and contribute to journalism and national development.
Chukwunyere said the newspaper’s coverage would include politics, governance, business, economy, security, judiciary, education, health, technology, sports, entertainment, lifestyle and international affairs.
He, however, said the organisation intended to distinguish itself not only by the subjects it covered but by the quality and approach of its journalism.
We want to tell stories that matter, we want to investigate issues that require investigation, we want to highlight Nigerians who are making a difference, and we want to give communities that are often ignored an opportunity to be heard,” he said.
The publisher acknowledged the challenges involved in establishing a newspaper, saying the venture required investment, commitment, professional discipline and the courage to pursue an idea.
He expressed appreciation to the management, editorial, reporting, production and digital teams, as well as families, friends, partners and supporters who contributed to the establishment of the organisation.
Chukwunyere also assured readers, viewers and the newspaper’s digital audience that The Eagle Times would strive to earn their trust and remain accountable to the standards it had set for itself.
He said the newspaper’s success would not be measured only by circulation figures, website traffic or social media followers, but also by the confidence Nigerians placed in its journalism.
“Today, we spread our wings. Today, The Eagle Times takes flight,” he said, reaffirming the newspaper’s commitment to its slogan: “The Voice for the People, The Watchdog for the Nation.”
