"I Will Reduce The Cost Of Land In Lagos When I Win" -- PDP's Jimi Agbaje

Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, on Wednesday promised to reduce the cost of land in Lagos to address the problem of accommodation in the state.

Agbaje said his administration would also implement a low-cost housing scheme that would be affordable to low-income earners during a town hall meeting in the Ifako- Ijaiye Local Government Area,  He said,

“We understand how building low-cost houses can be done in Lagos. The first thing we will do is to reduce the cost of land because our records show that the elite have taken all the land for themselves.
“When we reduce the cost of land, this will reduce the cost of buildings. We will also make approvals easier for individuals who wish to build because the delay also affect the finished cost, especially for those who obtained loan to build.”
“I disagree with the excuses given by the Lagos State Government that it is not easy to build for low-income earners in the state. A former governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande did it and I will do it if elected,” he said.
