Today, I had the pleasure of receiving a delegation from the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) and the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA), led by their Presidents, Arc. (Sir) Dipo Ajayi and Arc. Sani I. Saulawa.
I am deeply honoured by their kind words and recognition of my service to our country and to the architectural profession during my tenure as Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
The delegation expressed appreciation for the role I played in facilitating the resolution of the longstanding disputes between ARCON and NIA. I was particularly encouraged by their assurance that the seeds of peace, dialogue and reconciliation that were sown during that process are today bearing good fruits for the benefit of the profession and the built environment sector. Nothing is more fulfilling than seeing institutions work together in harmony towards a common goal.
Their visit was also a reminder of the enduring bonds that unite us as professionals committed to nation-building through architecture, housing and sustainable urban development. I am grateful for their confidence in my continued role as a source of counsel and support for the advancement of the profession. I remain committed to contributing in any way I can to initiatives that promote professional excellence, institutional collaboration and national development.
I also sincerely appreciate their heartfelt condolences on the recent passing of my beloved brother, late Alhaji Dikko Abdullahi.. Their prayers, sympathy and solidarity have been a great source of comfort to me and my family during this difficult period.
As architects, we have a responsibility not only to design buildings but also to help build stronger institutions, stronger communities and a stronger nation. I look forward to seeing ARCON and NIA continue to work together in unity and purpose for the advancement of the profession and the development of our country.
I thank the leadership of both organisations for this thoughtful visit and wish them continued success in their service to the profession and our nation.

As Christians across Nigeria and around the world celebrate Easter, I extend my warm greetings and best wishes to all our Christian brothers and sisters.

As a Muslim, I deeply respect and celebrate with our Christian community at this sacred time. The message of Easter encourages us all to continue working together in unity, compassion, and service to one another.
On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, I wish all Christians a joyful and blessed Easter celebration. May this season renew our collective hope and strengthen our commitment to building a better Nigeria for all.
Happy Easter.
your purpose.
May this season bring light to your path, joy to your homes, and grace to all that you do. Keep rising, keep building, and keep shining.
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed Easter 🌸
