The Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Ms Ama Pepple, said this while briefing State House correspondents on the outcome of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.

“The Minister highlighted the support that was given to the ministry or rather to the sector by the World Bank. You must have heard, I’m sure, that the World Bank is making available a credit of 300 million dollars for the establishment of Mortgage Re-Financing Company.
“That company is being worked out by the Federal Ministry of Finance in conjunction with the Central Bank of Nigeria and when it is formed eventually, the expected is that it will able to create more mortgages in the country.
“In the medium term, that company is expected to create 200,000 mortgages, in the long term, it will create much more.”

My name is Mr Max Silver,I live in Mexico,and I'm happily married with a lovely wife and three children. I had a very big problem with my wife few months ago,to the extent that she even packed her things away from me and my kids for almost 5 months,and i tried all my possible best and effort to bring her back,but all to no avail.I discussed it with a very good friend of mine,and he gave me an advice concerning a spell caster,and i quote.“There's someone who can handle your situation,he's always ready and able to do anything related to spell casting,i will like you to contact him with his email,which is as follows.”Dr Eromosale Great Oracle Temple Solution”. I never believed in spell casting,but he convinced me and i had no choice than to follow his advice,because i never dreamt of loosing my lovely wife.And that's how i contacted him with his email address,and i discussed with him and so surprisingly,he told me that I'll get my wife back a day after.so i never believed,until when i got home,the next day,my wife called me to inform me that she was coming back…..So amazing!! That's how i got my wife back through spell casting and our relationship was now stronger than how it was before.One of the price i was asked to pay was to tell it to people around me that problems like this,can always be solved by “Dr Eromosale Great Oracle Temple Solution”. So! my advice for you out there is to visit this same website,and tell him your problems too,if you are in any condition related to love issue or getting your ex back,to have a happy family.THANKS....
