Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has said that his administration planned to deliver 20, 000 housing units by 2018 to bridge existing housing deficit in the state.
Ambode, who was represented by his deputy, Dr. Idiat Adebule, made the disclosure at an event to mark the 2017 World Habitat Day.
According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the United Nations in 1985, designated the first Monday of October every year as World Habitat Day to reflect on the state of towns and cities, and basic right of all to adequate shelter.
The theme for this year’s celebration is: ‘Housing Policies: Affordable Homes.’
He said the plan was part of government’s objective to make the state liveable.
Said Ambode: “Shelter is a man’s basic needs. The ongoing effort in the area of urban renewal and slum upgrading is to show our commitment to run an all-inclusive government and address the challenges facing the housing sector.”
The governor said that the state would continue to explore innovative ways through public-private partnership to provide decent and affordable housing for all.
He said: “As we strive to provide the enabling environment for investment in the housing sector, we are open to new ideas, technology and methods.
