If you have been allotted a flat in the 62 blocks of the first phase of the Lagos Homes Project in Sangotedo or you are hoping to get one there, thank your stars! In six weeks, your wait will be over.
That was the message in the statement of the Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-olu after inspecting 1,188 flats in the first and second phases of the project yesterday.
The first scheme of the project has 62 blocks of 12 flats each, while the second scheme has 32 blocks of 444 flats.
According to him: “We have come on an inspection of this massive construction site that is divided into two phases. The level of work on Phase One is over 90 percent, but this is not the same in the second phase. In the next six weeks, we will be handing over the 744 units in Phase 1 of the project and all contractors working on it must complete their work.
He mandated the contractors to finish up the 744 flats being developed in Scheme 1 of the housing project by the end of next month (October).
Sanwo-Olu, who was accompanied on the inspection by members of the State’s cabinet had a one-on-one engagement with the contractors during which he expressed his displeasure over the slow work on the project.
He said: “I commend all contractors that have worked tirelessly to push through; I understand this has been a very difficult project. We have been working night and day, trying to deliver the project. We want to be fair to every contractor and we appreciate those who have shown real resilience and commitment. “
