How We Work

NMRC operates on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model that leverages collaboration with stakeholders, including:

Government Institutions

NMRC engages with a broad network of government stakeholders, including but not limited to the following:

  • Central Bank of Nigeria
    The CBN regulates and supervises NMRC as a non-deposit taking financial institution, ensuring our operations comply with Nigeria’s banking and financial sector regulations.
  • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
    SEC oversees NMRC’s bond issuances in the Nigerian capital market. Before any bond issuance, we obtain SEC approval and meet all disclosure, rating, and investor protection requirements, ensuring transparency and trust.
  • The Federal of Ministry of Finance and Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority Both institutions are major shareholders in NMRC. The FMF provides NMRC with guarantees making mortgage refinancing more accessible. Partnerships with relevant ministries, departments and agencies, helps to strengthen Nigeria’s mortgage and housing finance system.

Mortgage and Financial Institutions

We work closely with Primary Mortgage Banks (PMBs) and commercial banks, who are our main partners in refinancing. These institutions originate mortgage loans for homebuyers and then present qualifying mortgage portfolios to NMRC. In return, we provide them with long-term funding. This allows them to free up capital, create more loans, and help more Nigerians own their homes.

Investors

Our work is supported by investors who provide long-term funding through our bond programmes. These bonds are issued in the capital market and backed by our mortgage-refinancing operations, by raising funds from investors and using them to refinance eligible mortgage portfolios of partner institutions. Our strong government backing and regulatory oversight give investors confidence in the transparency and creditworthiness of NMRC.
