Nigeria's Army Council Approves New Housing Program for Personnel
What happened
The Army Council approved a new housing program in Nigeria. This initiative builds on a structure dating back to 1996, which was established under the military administration of Sani Abacha. The program aims to provide affordable homes and land for Army personnel upon retirement or discharge, with PHDL currently managing 31 estates across 16 states.

Why it matters
The program supports personnel welfare and drives construction activity within Nigeria. The Affordable Home Ownership Option for All Soldiers (AHOOAS) has expanded beyond its Abuja pilot, and the latest projects, such as the 50-unit project in Ibadan, specifically assist families of fallen military personnel.
