President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a $500,000 contribution to cover Nigeria’s outstanding obligations to the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) for the 2022–2023 period.

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Musa Dangiwa, announced this on Wednesday during the second meeting of the UN-Habitat 2024 Executive Board, which he chaired in Nairobi, Kenya, as disclosed in a statement from the ministry on Thursday.

This contribution is part of Nigeria’s financial commitment under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UN-Habitat and will directly support the operations of the UN-Habitat Country Office in Nigeria.

Arc. Dangiwa emphasized that the funding would strengthen Nigeria’s partnership with UN-Habitat, advancing capacity-building, advisory services, and multi-bilateral fund mobilization efforts to drive sustainable urbanization and housing development in the country.

“We recognize the critical importance of enhanced funding to support UN-Habitat’s objectives and appreciate the contributions of member states and partners in this regard. Nigeria remains steadfast in its commitment to UN-Habitat. Just last week, our President approved a $500,000 contribution to cover Nigeria’s outstanding obligations for 2022–2023, reaffirming our dedication to the organization through our partnership framework,” Dangiwa stated.
