Lagos to deliver more housing projects – Bosun Jeje

Lagos State government is set to deliver more housing projects following the recent commissioning of Sir Otedola Housing Estate at Odoragunshin in Epe, to Ijaiye Housing Estate, Elegant Court in Ikota and Hon Rotimi Sotomiwa Estate in Igbogbo, Bayeku Local Council Development Area in Ikorodu within a period of two months, by Governor Babatunde Fashola.

Commissioner for Housing, Mr. Bosun Jeje, who represented the governor, made the pledge during the commissioning of an estate in Ikorodu recently. “In the next two weeks, the government will begin work on another 80 units of one, two and three bedroom flats beside the existing Oba Adeboruwa Housing Estate in Igbogbo, Ikorodu,” he said.

Fashola said the housing units being commissioned were targeted at the masses, adding that his government would ensure that the houses are affordable. On the price and payment basis, the commissioner urged people to wait for government to unfold the prices of the houses and the mode of payment.

“We are launching the mortgage system soon. It is then residents can pass judgement whether the houses are for the masses or elite, but I am assuring you that these houses are for the people and it is affordable in all ramifications,” he said.
