4,219 mortgage homes to be allocated in Lagos before December, says Fashola

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has said the allocation of houses under the Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (HOMS) would begin before the end of the year.

Fashola spoke on Wednesday during an interview on the Lagos Television Station to mark the 6th anniversary of his administration.

He said over 4,219 housing units in 12 locations across the state would be ready for allocation before the year runs out.

About 540 units are located in Sangotedo, 270 in Ogba, 36 in Shitta, 60 in Ilupeju, 73 in Mushin, 660 in Agbowa, 540 in Ajara, 720 in Ibeshe, 144 in Iponri, 168 in Oyingbo and 1,008 in Ijora Badia.

The governor was interviewed by the former President of the Nigeria Guild of Editors (NGE), Mr. Gbenga Adefaye of the Vanguard; the Editor of The Sun, Mr. Steve Nwosu; Ms. Mauye Ogun of Channels and an activist, Mr. Mohammed Fawehinmi, first son of the late Lagos lawyer, Mr. Gani Fawehinmi.

Fashola said: “I assure you that before this year ends, we will start the process of allocating the houses. The allocation would be done by public draw. We are almost done. We are trying to eliminate the need for anyone to be a relation or friend of any government official before he/she can get a house. TheNation
