He disclosed that the state has designed a plan to ensure a high level of maintenance culture in all the state-owned estates.
“…a more robust plan has been developed to ensure a high level of maintenance culture in our estates and stringent guidelines have been reeled out for Facility managers and allottees who default.”
The commissioner said the reason why Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is building estates all across the state is to make most residents of the state homeowners.
Akinderu-Fatai added that Sanwo-Olu has directed that low-income earners be targeted for the affordable homes project.
“Mr. Governor has directed that low-income earners be targeted and that is why the Ministry is working with companies that can optimally make use of technology so as to deliver more affordable homes as the State Government is not out to make a profit but rather make most Lagosians homeowners.”
