The Executive Director, Housing, Finance and Accounts, Federal Housing Authority, Dr Matthias Terwase Byuan has stated that, the Federal Housing Authority, FHA is mandated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to build 5000 Housing Unit in every state of the Federation for low income earners.
Dr. Byuan disclosed this during an inauguration reception held in his honour at the Maitama residence of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF and Leader of APC Benue State, Sen. Dr George Akume in Abuja.
Byuan appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the appointment and praised Sen. George Akume’s leadership skills and support, which he acknowledged as having helped to facilitate his own appointment.
According to Byuan, ‘Akume is a politician, a father, and a selfless leader who is approachable by people of various backgrounds.
He is also modest, kind, and humanitarian’.
He urged the people to keep praying and standing by the leader in his quest to bring more Benue sons and daughters into the national spotlight.
Earlier, elder Simon Shango, Chairman of the APC Elders Council Benue State, thanked Sen. Akume for facilitating another appointment for a Benue son, and urged fervent prayers and support for the SGF.
Elder Shango described Byuan as a round peg in a round hole, and for being a real party man.
Benue APC Chairman, Comrade Austin Agada urged politicians to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Byuan, who ran for the seat of governor of Benue State but was denied the party’s ticket.
He complimented Byuan as a unique politician who, in spite of his undeniable popularity and being the front-runner with the highest expenditures in the party’s last governorship primaries, declined to file a legal suit on the outcome when he was denied the ticket.
Agada expressed gratitude to the leader of the party in Benue state for identifying a committed member who is capable of enhancing positively the lives of Benue people and fulfilling the mandate given him by the President and charged members of the party to remain steadfast in their prayers and support for Sen. Dr. Akume and Dr. Byuan.
