Lagos State Government has provided an additional 4,896 decent homes to beneficiaries of its various housing schemes across the state.
It, therefore, urged the beneficiaries to make deliberate efforts to keep the government-owned property well preserved and properly maintained.
Mr. Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, the Lagos State Commissioner for Housing, gave the charge recently, in Alausa, Ikeja, while handing over keys and title documents to new homeowners at the Babatunde Olushola Benson Estate, Ibeshe, and LagosHOMS, Sangotedo Phase I, in Ibeju-Lekki area of the state.
According to Akinderu-Fatai: “It is important to be mindful of the need to keep the various homes and estates in good condition to fully achieve the goal of making Lagos a 21st Century Economy.”
“These facilities compare well with others in civilized parts of the world and are to make the dream of decent living come alive for Lagosians as pledged by the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu”, Akinderu-Faitai stated.
“It is now the responsibility of the new residents to cooperate with appointed government facility managers to keep the estates in workable condition and enhance the value of the residents’ investment in their new homes,” he stated.
Akinderu-Fatai added that the cost of the homes has been greatly subsidized in line with the avowed commitment of Governor Sanwo-Olu to provide decent homes that are within the reach of all and sundry.
The commissioner said with the delivery of Ibeshe and Sangotedo Phase I Estate, an additional number of 4,896 residents have been provided with decent homes based on the premise that each home in the two estates will accommodate at least four people.
