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.

Nigeria at 66: ‘We Must Not Lose Faith in Nigeria’ — FCC Boss Omidiran
Joel Ajayi
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.
In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.
According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.
“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.
The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.
“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.
The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.
“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.
Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.
The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
