The
Lagos State Mortgage Board on Tuesday began allocation of homes to 30
indigenes that emerged winners from a raffle draw for the state housing
estates.
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State said at the presentation that allocation of the homes to first set of beneficiaries had confirmed the state government’s commitment to the mortgage scheme.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that some of the homes were in Shitta, Ikorodu, Epe, Age and Lekki Housing Estates.
The governor said the scheme was the state government’s answer to the limited access to housing and one of the strategies to improve living standards.
“With this scheme, we are moving our people from desperation for housing to an orderly and predictable living. And, that is our dream and I have always believed that when people can dream things, their hands can do it.
“Our journey really begins today; Lagosians should begin to put their steps in that ladder, the ladder to prosperity that we have designed for them,’’ he said.
Fashola said no fewer than 3,000 homes were ready for allocation, adding that 200 would be delivered monthly through raffle draws.
The governor said the allocation of less than 200 homes in March was because many applications failed to meet the set conditions.
Fashola urged residents, who were interested in the scheme, to ensure that their applications meet the set conditions.
