The Lagos State Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a developer for the redevelopment of the Ikota Housing Estate. According to the Commissioner for Housing , Gbolahan Lawal , who signed the MoU on behalf of the state government in Alausa, Ikeja, on Friday, the deal will lead to the construction of 500 houses, comprising 200 units of two -bedroomed flats , 200 units of three -bedroomed maisonette flats and 100 units of four-bedroomed semi-detached units by Ativa Riley Investment Limited , a subsidiary of Multipurpose Infrastructural Development Company
Limited .

Lawal said the move was part of plans by the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode- led administration to bridge the three million housing deficit in the state , adding that the government had a plan to construct 20, 000 housing units over the next four years. The commissioner stated that the MoU represented a joint venture agreement under the Lagos Affordable Public Housing initiative, LAPH.

He said , “ This project is the redevelopment of the Ikota Housing Estate in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State, which was developed by the Lagos State Government in 1988/89 on a parcel of land measuring approximately 51 hectares.“
The estate is presently in a deplorable condition. The state government , in furtherance of its development and urbanisation programme , is desirous of redeveloping the estate into a modern housing estate that will be compatible with the development going on along the Lekki area.”

The commissioner added that the scheme would be provided with complementary world class infrastructure , such as pedestrian walkways, perimeter fencing , concrete drainage and street lighting .

Lawal said the 500 housing units would provide shelter for about 3 , 000 Lagosians, adding that once the estate was completed, part of the housing units would be integrated into the rent -to -own scheme of the government . The Chief Executive Officer, MIDC, Emmanuel Obire, said the first phase of the project would be delivered within 18 months .

STORY for the gods and the rich in the society... Anyway, just passing by.

most of the houses around oniru,ikate elegushi, Ajah,Marwa, Ist/2nd round about are GHOST HOUSES.

I will like to know what happens to the present occupants of the estate as of now. Will this estate be affordable to the present occupiers? Hope this is not a way of checking the present occupiers out of the place because a good number of them may not be able to afford it at the end of rebuilding. Where are they going to put the present occupiers?

AFONJACOW:
they are building it for non indigenes because a Yoruba man will rather go back to his village in ijebu ode than to rent or live in 500k flat

You have spoken like a true COW

gud one

Ambode complete Ilubirin that is halfway done instead of starting a fresh one.

That Ilubirin would have been completed assuming Fashola spent extra 3 months.

Instead of Ambode to complete the project speedily and take the glory, he abandoned the place and just went to put fancy lights and signboard there.

Ambode should complete that project and stop this his pettiness if he wants to go far in politics.

hope it will be cheap...
i don tire lagos rent

whether the ipob are granted referendum or the Niger delta strike, even if Boko Haram persist in carrying out their brutal act.......

Thank you jare bros mi. There is accommodation in Lagos but the issue is lack of fund to rent these houses. How can ordinary self con go for 400k?

I don't know why he refuse to complete that project. Probably there is something not right btw him and Fashola on that project

It doesn't make sense, even if there is something not right between him and Fashola on that project, he needs to move on.

The project will be to the advantage of the masses. And both of them will be given the credit.


That was why I said he should drop pettiness and allow us to move on.

Ambode himself cannot even count the number of houses built by fashola, so how can he make him useless? Those hoses are scattered all over the place. You are rolling out the drums because of 500.
