Affordable housing: Firm advocates flexible payment for home acquisition

The Chairman, Zylus Group International, Dr. Oluwatosin Olatujoye, has called for flexible payment, as the realistic approach to addressing the housing deficit and ensuring affordable housing is within the reach of Nigerians.

“With the incessant rising cost of goods and service across the country, nothing is ‘affordable’ anymore. We have to be realistic that affordable housing is near impossible to achieve because nothing is affordable as we all know; hence our focus is on devising flexible payment schemes or plans that makes it easy for aspiring homeowners in Nigerians to acquire homes.”
