Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Oniru of Iruland, Oba Gbolahan Lawal have called for more partnership from the private sector so as to reduce housing deficit in the state.

According to Governor Sanwo-Olu who spoke at the unveiling of two Blocks of 38 Units of two and three bedroom flats, at Victoria Island, stated his administration would ensure it realised its economic goals, fulfill the promises of its THEMES agenda and complete all ongoing projects in the state.

The governor commended the management and staff of the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation for keeping up the visions establishing it and called for more private sector partnership.

He assured Lagosians that before the end of this year, his administration would deliver more affordable and decent housing for all categories of residents and vigorously pursue comprehensive urban renewal programmes to unlock the potential in each community in the state to attract Lagosians both home and diaspora.

The Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer of Lagos State Development and Property Corporation, LSDPC, Ayodeji Joseph commended Governor Sanwo-Olu for his immense contributions towards housing development in the state and unflinching support for the LSDPC.

On his part, Oniru of Iruland, Oba AbdulWasiu Omogbolan Lawal, who commended Governor Sanwo-Olu for thinking outside the box, said that he was happy that the governor’s vision for housing was in tandem with his vision to make Lagos compact and smart for the residents.

The revered monarch said that Lagos has a very small landmass, hence, there’s need for the state to always convert any available space or inactive property to good use for the hundreds of residents who are in need of housing. He said the state can always explore the opportunity to make the state liveable for millions of residents in spite of the growing population.
