Addressing Worsening State Of Govt’s Low-cost Housing Estates

These Low-cost houses are cited around the Central Business Districts of Lagos where businesses and commercial activities are thriving for growth and therefore needs urgent and proper facility maintenance to fix the dilapidated structures.

According to him, most of the mass houses that were built in the past had been left to ‘suffer’ due to absence of maintenance. He added that, the private property developers with their vast knowledge in this area, would be in a better position to ‘do the needful to preserve facility and infrastructure in the state.

Commenting, the president of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers , Esv. Emmanuel Okas Wike, noted that, it is quite ‘unfortunate’ that the nation’s housing deficit is very huge in relation to the over 200 million population, adding that something drastic should be done in order to mitigate this anomaly.

“My honest suggestion, is for all governments at different levels to embark on the construction affordable housing with adequate maintenance and infrastructure to strengthen economic livelihoods of citizens.” Majekodunmi was, however, optimistic that, with the political will and the right attitude, the issue could be addressed within the shortest possible time.

He said, the governor is highly interested in the well-being of the residents of the estates and would do his best in ensuring the durability of the infrastructure in the estates.
