Lagos State Government has revealed that the present administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu has delivered 14 housing schemes in its first 2 years, adding over 7,000 affordable housing units.
This is part of the state government’s effort to reduce the housing deficit and provide affordable homes for a larger number of residents.
This was made public by the Lagos State Commissioner for Housing, Mr Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, during a briefing on the achievement of his ministry at the ongoing inter-ministerial briefing to commemorate Governor Sanwo-Olu’s second year in office on Wednesday.
According to him, the Sanwo-Olu administration would be delivering 21 additional housing schemes before the end of 2023.

The Commissioner said, “The last two years have been eventful in the Ministry of Housing, as we have strengthened our efforts to realise the housing programmes of the current administration.
