Namibe — A total of 3,380 plots of land for construction of houses were distributed to "5 de Abril" ward residents in south-western Namibe province, during a ceremony presided over by local governor, Boavida Neto.
The distribution of the lots is part of the National Urbanisation and Housing Programme designed to provide sites for construction of economic houses.
The "5 de Abril" urbanisation plan in its completion stage comprises 3,380 plots of land for construction of economic houses, covering an area of 6,164 hectares.
The Namibe Government is implementing projects of organisation of the province's headquarters district, having put aside about 9,234 hectares in the wards of Aida , Kambongue Saco-mar and "5 de Abril".
According to the provincial director of Urbanisation, Territory and Housing, Ambrósio Mitendo, with the programme the Government intends to correct the irregular expansion of the city and its negative effect on the environment.
It also seeks for construction of social infrastructures (schools, water and power stations, hospitals, garden and leisure facilities), hotels and roads.
Another purpose of the programme is to speed up the process of acquisition of plots of land for construction of houses and thus stimulate the estate market in Namibe.
In his turn, the provincial governor, Boavida Neto, said his office is seeking to fulfil an instruction from the head of State for the construction of one million houses around the country.
