President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Dr Muttaqha Rabe Darma as Minister of Housing and Urban Development. The swearing-in took place at the State House on Friday. Dr Darma's appointment followed his confirmation by the Senate and official designation as minister. He replaces the previous officeholder, though the statement did not name the outgoing minister. The development was confirmed in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy. Dr Darma will now lead the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development in its mandate to address national housing deficits and urban planning challenges. The ceremony marked the formal assumption of duties by the new minister within the current administration's cabinet. No other details about the event or Dr Darma's immediate policy plans were disclosed in the statement.
Dr Muttaqha Rabe Darma is now responsible for a ministry that has repeatedly failed to deliver affordable housing despite years of budget allocations. Nigerians named in housing schemes from previous administrations are still waiting for completed units. The appointment offers no clarity on how this cycle of delays will be broken. Expectations remain low without a public roadmap for tangible results.
