The Nigerian Senate is reportedly working on a bill, aimed at curtailing the soaring house rents across the country.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Dino Melaye stated this.
According to Melaye, who promised that lawmakers would ensure the passage of the bill before the end of the 8th Senate, said the ‘Rent Edit’ bill, would protect tenants and landlords.
A statement issued by the Director of Information at the housing arm of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, Eno Olotu, in Abuja, on Wednesday said “Not everybody can own a house. The Rent Edit Bill will help guide and curb excessive rents in the Federal Capital Territory and the nation at large,” he said.
