Ndukwe also stated that Centage would be providing mortgage facilities to prospective buyers for these houses.

Managing Director of Eifeler Betondecor Nigeria Limited, Mr. Harrison Bob-Manuel, disclosed that the pre-cast house could be installed in a day with the furniture and other fittings intact. It also comes with a solar energy. "The house is insulated. The inside temperature remains the same. So you might not need an Air conditioner," he said.
