Senate Plans Bill To Check High House Rents




    Senate Committee Chairman on Federal Capital Territory, Senator Dino Melaye, says the Senate is working on a bill that will check the incessant increase in house rents in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria.

    He stated that the ‘Rent Edit’ bill would protect tenants and landlords even as he promised that lawmakers would ensure the passage of the bill before the end of the 8th Senate.
   Melaye disclosed this in a statement issued by the Director of Information at the housing arm of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, Eno Olotu, yesterday in Abuja.
   According to the statement, the senator, who spoke at the 2nd Abuja Housing and Investment Expo, also stated that corruption had hindered development and growth in the housing sector
   Melaye urged stakeholders to have a change of heart by putting the interest of the people first.
