To ensure the continuity of data provision, Ogundimu suggested that NMRC could offer interim solutions while the National Data Centre was being established.

“If there are any interim measures that are needed, maybe a temporary data portal or something, NMRC can provide that while we are providing one that will be substantive and robust for the entire nation,” Ogundimu stated.

He highlighted the critical need for comprehensive and reliable housing data, saying, “We need to explore, gather all the details from where we can gather them, put them in the database, and then begin to refine them by the analysis that we make of such data.”

Ogundimu expressed optimism about the new system and portal introduced by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, which aim to streamline data collection and analysis.

“I am so happy that the ministers are providing all the information they have been able to glean from this new system, the portal that they have. It will help in decision-making, both in policy decisions and in financial decisions, project planning, and so many other things,” he added.
