An Ilorin, Kwara State-based property firm, DaatHomes Investment Ltd, has extended a hand of partnership to the Kwara State Government to provide quality and affordable housing to residents. The company announced that it has plans to build 5,000 bungalows in the next five years in states across the country.

We need partnership with the state government, as we are looking into providing 5,000 bungalows in the next five years. But our major constraint is funding. With the help of government and other investors, we will be able to deliver the project."

He further stated: "We also hope to approach the banks to raise funds in order to deliver to clients, quality, best and affordable homes. Our major goal is to ensure shelter for all at affordable rate."
