The Lagos State Government has called on residents of its housing estates to take greater responsibility for maintenance of their neighbourhoods to preserve infrastructure.
The government said that taking such a responsibility would also enhance security and sustain property value.
The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Housing, Mr Abdulhafis Toriola, made the call during the ministry’s monthly stakeholders’ engagement with residents of government-owned housing estates.
The event was hosted by Millennium Housing Estate, Agbado-Ijaiye, Ojokoro, on Saturday.
Toriola said the forum was designed to strengthen collaboration between the government and the residents, while providing a platform to identify challenges and receive feedback for improved estate management.
