Tunisian lawmaker Hassan Ben Ali, representing the Zaghouan governorate, has called for the acceleration of a social housing project in the Naoor delegation. The project, which was initially programmed in 2012, has yet to be implemented. Ben Ali emphasized that the project was supposed to be carried out simultaneously with a similar project in Bir Mcharka, which was completed and delivered to beneficiaries. However, the Naoor project has been stalled and has not yet materialized.
According to Ben Ali, the issue was raised during a visit by the current Head of Government, when she was Minister of Equipment, to the city of Naoor. The concerns related to the project were presented to her, and she pledged to work on expediting the procedures and moving the file forward. Ben Ali noted that the project's delay was previously linked to several real estate issues, as well as difficulties related to studies and the sanitation program.
The lawmaker asserted that these issues have been resolved through coordination with the municipality and state property services. He stressed that there is no longer any justification for the project's continued delay, calling for the completion of the necessary procedures to enable beneficiary families to access their right to social housing. Ben Ali also emphasized his commitment to continuing to follow up on the file with various stakeholders.
The social housing project in Naoor is one of several initiatives aimed at addressing the housing needs of Tunisian citizens. The project is expected to provide much-needed housing for low-income families in the region. Ben Ali's call for acceleration comes as part of a broader effort to address the housing shortage in Tunisia.
The Naoor project has been pending for over a decade, with many residents eagerly awaiting its completion. Local authorities have faced criticism for the delay, with many questioning the reasons behind the project's stalled progress. Ben Ali's statement has renewed hope that the project will finally move forward.
The lawmaker's efforts to push for the project's completion reflect the growing concerns about the housing situation in Tunisia. With many families struggling to access affordable housing, the need for social housing projects like the one in Naoor has become increasingly pressing. Ben Ali's call for action is seen as a positive step towards addressing this issue.
As the Tunisian government continues to grapple with the challenges of housing and infrastructure, Ben Ali's advocacy for the Naoor project highlights the need for greater investment in social housing initiatives. The project's acceleration would not only provide much-needed housing but also contribute to the country's overall development and social stability.
