The Lagos State Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (LagosHOMS) has again provided 54 residents of the state with houses under its scheme.
The General Manager, Lagos State Mortgage Board, Dehinde Tunwashe, said that the Oko-oba scheme, which was inaugurated recently, has large sized two and three-bedroom apartments in a gated community, adding that giving them out was a way of alleviating the housing problems being faced by Lagosians and also meeting up their demand for decent and affordable housing.
He stressed that the Oko Oba scheme which is about 15 minutes’ drive from Ikeja, the state capital, boasts of state-of-the-art facilities like street lights, water treatment plant, community hall, external gas cylinder cage, laundromat, security post, adequate parking space, electricity pre-paid meters, estate management office and utility generator.
Tunwase assured that the state government would not relent in its efforts at reducing housing deficit in the state while it would continue to give housing a priority. He said that aside the completed Oko-Oba scheme, construction was ongoing at different sites across the state and that, as soon as they were completed, they would be put up for sale to resident.
He therefore urged the general public to take advantage of the scheme, adding that applications were now open for interested members of the public who are aspiring to own their first home. Applicants, he further said, should visit the scheme’s office or log on to their website: www.lagoshoms.gov.ng.
