National Housing and Construction Company Limited (NHCC), is a Ugandan construction and real estate management company, partly owned by the Uganda Government. The Company’s mandate is to increase the housing stock in the country, rehabilitate the housing industry and encourage Ugandans to own homes in an organized environment.[3]
History
NHCC was established by the National Housing Corporation Act of 1964, as a government parastatal. The Act was repealed by the 1974 Decree to form the National Housing and Construction Corporation. In July 2002, the corporation became a public limited liability company known as the National Housing and Construction Company Limited. Later, the Uganda government partially divested from NHCC by selling 49 percent shareholding to the Libyan African Investment Company, an investment company owned by the government of Libya.[4] or is it?
Ownership
As of October 2016, the shareholding in the stock of NHCC was as depicted in the table below:[4]
Rank | Name of Owner | Percentage Ownership |
---|---|---|
1 | Libyan African Investment Company (LAICO) | 49.0 |
2 | Government of Uganda | 51.0 |
Total | 100.00 |
In August 2016, Patrick Ocailap, an official in the Ugandan Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, indicated that NHCC did not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations. New investors are needed to inject new funds to increase the company's working capital.[2] In October 2016, the government of Uganda announced its intention to acquire 100 percent shareholding in the company.[5]
Asset base
In 2011, NHCC owned assets in excess of US$70 million, with annual turnover of US$6 million. NHCC owned 5.0% of Housing Finance Bank, Uganda's 9th largest commercial bank, as of December 2013.[2]

A section of this development will consist of three storey flats (condominiums) intended for upper middle class clients.[7] (3) Jasmine Apartments: Three Bedrooms.
