The Managing Director of Kairos Hof Consultants Limited, Mr Olagoke Fagbohun, lamented that the youths are not well captured in the housing structure in the country.

He also noted that the firm would commence the housing unit with 17 blocks of five story buildings with an approximate of a 100 plus apartment.

Fagbohun, disclosed this in Abuja, at the press briefing to unveil the plan of building consulting firm “Z-Korting Project”.

He said that the target was geared towards meeting up yearning demand of young Nigerians who occupy 60 per cent of the country’s populations.

Fagbohun said: “In terms of deliverables, first of all, we are starting with 17 for the first cluster. 17 blocks of five story buildings providing approximately a 100 plus apartment so that we can launch the first phase of this project and meet up with our demand.

“Secondly, we need media support to enlighten people about this, we can only do that with the collaboration of media houses. In terms of making sure people enjoy the quality of what we intend to provide, the simple thing to do is to make sure the information is out there, and what this means is that we are going to do a lot of publicity about it.”

Fagbohun noted that the Z-Korting Project is targeted at young fresh minds and would be built in Idu, Karmo, Jahi and Cafe City, Gwarinpa respectively.

In his remarks, the Director Business Development/CEO, Kairos Hof Ltd, Mr Ojehomon Anetor, explained that the firm is a Dutch-Nigerian company investing in real estate and energy in both Nigeria and Netherlands.

He said that the firm had been able to design a concept that fits the cultural values of the country in terms of housing matters based on its experience of what its looks like outside Nigeria.

He said: “From our experience of what housing looks like outside Nigeria, we have been able to design a concept that fits our cultural values. We have gotten a clear concept that gives an understanding of housing issue and what you need to provide for your client

“The system of housing issues abroad is quite different from what we currently have here in Nigeria. We want to make sure that whoever is buying a house, is buying a house that gives them the right type of comfort and support that they need to exist, live, work, eat and play in one space.”

He stated that the stress and difficulties in securing housing had made so many couples reduce the number of children they plan to have, a situation he said was different during the period of our parents and great grand parents.

Anetor said that the firm is directly working with the works and housing ministry to make sure that the housing is more affordable and meet the requirements of Abuja population.
