The\ncommissioning ceremony was part of the activities to commemorate the Governor\u2019s\n100 days in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recall that\nthe project started in 2012 under the Home Ownership Scheme of the\nadministration of ex-Governor Babatunde Fashola but was abandoned for four\nyears during the immediate past administration of Mr Akinwunmi Ambode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But upon\nassumption of office, Mr Sanwo-Olu, in keeping with his campaign promises to\ncomplete all critical projects initiated by the previous administrations,\ncompleted the project to ensure that the resources already expended on the laudable\ninitiative of Fashola\u2019s administration was put into good use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/watchdogplusmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gov.-Sanwo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-103\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at\nthe event, Mr Sanwo-Olu said, \u201cToday, history is being made as we commission a\nhousing estate named after an icon, a role model and the first Executive\nGovernor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande.&nbsp;\nAmong his many sterling achievements, Alhaji Jakande\u2019s indelible legacy\nin the provision of mass housing in Lagos still remains our guiding light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is\ninstructive to note that the completion and the official commissioning of\nLateef Kayode Jakande Garden Estate in Igando today is a testimony to our\nresolve to deliver on the pledge to complete all critical projects inherited\nfrom the last administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am\nexcited today because, within 100 days, this is the third time I am coming to\nthis facility to ensure it is delivered and put into use. With the completion\nof the Estate, we have prevented the government\u2019s resources from being wasted.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanwo-Olu\nnoted that the deficit faced by the state in housing was real, stating that\nthere was a compelling need for his administration to adopt a housing model\nthat would harness limited space for delivery of safe homes for the teeming\npopulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His words, \u201cOne\nof the key strategies we will embrace is a global housing policy in which\npeople can become homeowners through an inclusive and convenient financing\nsystem based on their incomes. This policy, along with the outright purchase of\nhouses built by the government, will support a sustainable system in which\nhomes are consistently made available to a larger number of our people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Sanwo-Olu\nfurther stated that for the State to turn around its deficit and attain 21st\nCentury economy the government would explore innovation and partnership with\nprivate investors to bridge the housing deficit and urged the beneficiaries of\nthe scheme to protect the facility and maintain its environmental aesthetics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in\nhis remarks, the Commissioner for Housing, Hon. Moruf Akinderu-Fatai disclosed\nthat the Government would deliver additional 1,250 homes in different locations\nin the state within the next six months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s inauguration\nof Jakande Garden Estate is the beginning of other housing projects coming.\nWith a sense of determination and unequivocal commitment to serve the public\ncause, we will like to assure Lagosians that, in the next six months, we shall\nwork hard through proper planning and judicious execution to conclude the\nongoing housing schemes in Igbogbo, Sangotedo, Iponri, Gbagada and Omole. This\nwill add a total of 1,250 homes to the existing figure.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akinderu-Fatai\nfurther stated that the Sanwo-Olu government was determined to deliver livable\naccommodation with modern infrastructure in line with Smart City programme of\nthe State, reiterating that Sanwo-Olu\u2019s administration would continue to\npromote urban harmony and set new standards for property development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event\nwas attended by dignitaries from the state including Alhaji Lateef Jakande and\nhis wife, leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Governor\u2019s Advisory\nCouncil Members, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, Alhaji Mutiu Are and a host of others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peterclaver Egbochue Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commissioned the 492-Flat Housing Estate situated at Igando, a suburb in Alimosho area of the state and named it after the first civilian governor of the state, Alhaji Lateef Jakande.
