Sanwo-Olu to commission 252 homes in Badagry

Lagos State Governor Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu will on Friday inaugurate Housing Scheme at Idale in Badagry.

Commissioner for Housing Mr Moruf Akinderu-Fatai said the scheme, constructed by the ministry in collaboration with Echostone Development Nigeria Limited, has 252 units of two-bedroom bungalows on an expanse of 12.5 hectares.

Akinderu-Fatai said the estate was an evidence of the government’s commitment to making Lagos a 21st Century economy by providing decent homes for its citizenry.

He added that the project was unique because it is the “first green estate to be owned by the State government.”

He said: “Lagos State Affordable Public Housing Scheme Idale is an eco-friendly housing scheme as each house comes with two trees and a garden. Also, the homes are easy to maintain because the design supports energy efficiency in terms of power and water usage”

“The estate also comes with state-of-the-art infrastructure such as water treatment plant, central sewage treatment plant, street light, Spaces for community activities, road network and drainage as well as a perimeter fence.”
