This month we've been discussing access to housing for young families. Recently we spoke to Bayo, a 37 year old HR manager in Abuja to hear about his experience accessing a mortgage through the National Housing Fund.

We have been exploring access to housing for young families this month. We are rounding off the month with Kabir. A 36 year old accountant in Lagos who's been frustrated by the system. Here's what he had to say.

We put in our application over 2 years ago with no progress. We have decided to abandon the process and apply for a private sector mortgage instead.

Difficulties, delays and corruption in the system have put us off and pushed us towards a private sector mortgage with an interest rate of 18%.

Although many are contributing to the NHF they will likely never see the fruits of the deductions.
