The first phase will see a total of 30 houses constructed under supervision from the National Housing Corporation (NHC).
Speaking to journalists at the launch over the weekend, Lukuvi said the total cost of the 30 houses is 1.8bn/-, which NHC has secured from financial institutions as a loan.
He said the construction which started in January this year will take eight months hence end in September.
The minister assured that the project will be implemented as per the schedule laid out by the contractor and not otherwise. He said this will give NHC time to start the second phase of the construction which will entail 32 houses to tune of 3bn/-.
According to Lukuvi, houses to be built in the second phase which will start in October this year, will each have three bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and store.
He called on the people to buy NHC houses, saying they are affordable and have all the essential infrastructures such as water and electricity.
NHC Director of Business Development, David Shambwe said the houses constructed include facilities such as car parks, fields/stadiums for sports, schools, water and electricity.
Shambwe said NHC in partnership with the government will construct 50 affordable houses in every district across the country.
He called on district authorities to allocate land for the construction of the houses to help the NHC execute its plan to build as many decent and affordable houses for Tanzanians as possible.
Nyamagana District Commissioner, Baraka Konisaga appealed to NHC to build affordable houses at Luchelele to reduce scarcity of decent houses for government staff in the area.
