Listen to the story

Algeria's Housing Minister, Mr. Belaribi, has given new instructions to speed up housing work.

He visited the city of Bordj Bou Arreridj to check on local projects.

During his visit, he asked officials to finish building homes faster.

These homes are part of the "Adl 3" housing program.

The program is building homes in the Sidi Saoui urban hub.

An urban hub is a large new area built near or inside a city.

It usually includes homes, shops, and other services for residents.

The minister wants this hub's housing work to move more quickly.

He also spoke about the "Adl 3" program across the whole country.

Mr. Belaribi announced that 200,000 housing units are now under construction.

These units are being built nationwide under the "Adl 3" program.

"Adl 3" is a government plan to help people buy affordable homes.

Many Algerians have signed up for this housing program.

The government has promised to deliver these homes to residents soon.

By visiting construction sites, the minister hopes to push progress forward.

He wants local teams to avoid delays in finishing the work.

Faster construction means families can move into new homes sooner.

The "Adl 3" program is an important part of Algeria's housing policy.

It aims to reduce the country's housing shortage over time.

The minister's visit shows the government's focus on this goal.
