      \u201cShelter Afrique is grateful to the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria through your Ministry for supporting the delivery of its mission of providing decent and affordable housing for all in Africa. We deeply appreciate the role Nigeria has played in safeguarding the organisation and the role you have played personally in being a vanguard and a voice of reason for the shareholders,\u201d Dr Akporji said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u201cI\u2019m glad to inform you that preparations for the 42nd<\/sup> AGM are on course as the invitations have already been sent out through your office and Shelter Afrique team is working on garnering the required quorum for a successful meeting,\u201d Dr. Chii Akporji quipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u201cNigeria is one of the key market for us.

      The team also paid courtesy calls and held talks with several other stakeholders including representatives, Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Hon Zainab Ahmed, who reaffirmed Nigeria’s firm commitment to Shelter-Afrique as one of the largest shareholders.<\/p>\n

      \u201cWe have had great and successful working sessions with our partners and stakeholders in Nigeria and I believe this sets pace for next phase of our engagements,\u201d Mr.\u00a0 Hann concluded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
