Housing Difficulty Will Be A Thing Of The Past With Me- Jimi Agbaje

PDP Lagos Governorship candidate Jimi Agbaje has said if elected, he intends to build over 200,000 housing units yearly because housing is one of the major problems in Lagos State. Agbaje stated this while speaking at a fundraising dinner titled, “An evening of interaction and dinner with Jimi Agbaje” in Lagos. “We have to encourage housing because Lagos will become a slum if we do not address the issue. Lagos needs over two million housing units and that is an average of getting 200,000 every year. We have to encourage people to invest in housing and that means we have to improve the issue of how you get your construction permits. “We have got to ensure that you are able to get you C of O (Certificate of Occupancy) on time and reduce the bureaucracy involved in housing. More importantly, for those who want to get involved in affordable housing, we will throw incentives at you, and we will give you land for nearly free,” the governorship aspirant stated.
