Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu today, also presented a gift of a 3-bedroom flat at the Newly Commissioned Prince Abiodun Ogunleye Housing Scheme to a Nollywood Veteran, Mrs Lanre Hassan Adesina, popular known as “Iya Awero” to cater for her urgent housing need.

Sanwo-Olu presented the gift at the commissioning of 120 units of three-bedroom apartments in the LagosHOMS Igbogbo 2Bedroom housing estate in the Ikorodu axis of Lagos State.

Sanwo-Olu said, “As we have adopted a global housing policy which gives people the option of becoming home owners over a period of time through the rent-to-own policy which is targeted at the working class in the formal and informal sectors promises to continue to provide prosperity, decent living and for our citizens and the beneficiaries.

“They will be earmarked to pay on a monthly basis and the mortgage is also very convenient. The GM (General Manager) of Lagos State Mortgage Board had explained the statistics to us and how this will work. He had explained to us that for you to have a flat here for three-bedroom, it is N400,000 and if you want to do a bid, N275,000 for two-bedroom (flat), and N175,000 for one bedroom. I think the LAGOSHOMS deserves a round of applause for that.”

The governor said his administration would continue to bridge the housing deficit by providing affordable, accessible and decent housing for the people.
