The Lagos State Government through its Ministry of Housing has directed the contractor handling the Lagos HOMS housing scheme in Ajara, Badagry, to meet the agreed project deadline or face consequences.
The State Commissioner for Housing, Moruf Akinderu-Fatai gave the directive during a tour of the ongoing project, accompanied by the technical team of the Ministry.
He emphasized that the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration is committed to ensuring that all ongoing housing projects are completed to the highest standards and within the governor’s tenure.
Akinderu-Fatai reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to providing quality homes, particularly for low- and medium-income earners.
While inspecting the site, which consists of 420 housing units spread across 35 blocks of one-, two-, and three-bedroom flats, Akinderu-Fatai expressed satisfaction with the quality and pace of construction but stressed the importance of meeting the delivery timeline.
“The delivery time must be met as agreed so we can commission the project and hand it over to the allottees,” the commissioner stated.
