The Lagos State Government has reiterated its commitment to providing decent, habitable and conducive homes for its workers.
In highlighting the importance of decent shelter for all Lagosians, Olowoshago indicated that continuity in governance would enable the state government to further consolidate its all-inclusive housing policy, which is targeted at the working class and the underserved.
This Lagoshoms LASU project, he added, is in line with the fourth pillar of the THEMES Agenda “Making Lagos a 21st Century Economy”, which is hinged on the provision of decent accommodation for the citizenry. The Permanent Secretary further urged the university community to take ownership of the project, safeguard it and put it to good utilisation when delivered, adding that it will no doubt ameliorate the challenge of housing deficit for the university staff.
In her welcome address, the Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, noted that prompt delivery and inauguration of the scheme will help in addressing a strategic aspect of the institution’s welfare programme for its workers as it will be a huge relief to the beneficiaries.
While commending the present administration for its giant strides in the education sector in the state, she pleaded that more home apartments be urgently constructed for the university staff.All rights reserved.
