The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to completing 812 housing units at the Egan-Igando Mixed Housing Estate and Lagos State Workers’ Village, Ipaja, before the end of the current administration as part of efforts to expand access to affordable housing.
The projects comprise the 636-unit Egan-Igando Mixed Housing Estate and the 176-unit Workers’ Housing Scheme at Ipaja.
Commissioner for Housing, Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, gave the assurance on Wednesday during an inspection of the projects, where he assessed the level of work and directed contractors to accelerate construction to meet delivery timelines.
Speaking during the inspection, Akinderu-Fatai expressed concern over delays in some aspects of the projects, particularly where contractors had fallen behind schedule.
