LASG To Complete First Phase Of Ilubirin Housing Scheme In 24 months

The Lagos State Government has said that work is presently ongoing at the construction site of Ilubirin Foreshore Housing Scheme while also expressing eagerness to complete the first phase of the scheme within the next 24 months.
This was the assertion of the Commissioner for Housing, Moruf Akinderu-Fatai at a meeting with the representatives of First Investment Property Company (FIDC) while reacting to speculations that the Ilubirin Foreshore housing Scheme had been abandoned.
“The Ilubirin Scheme has not been set aside, we are working on it. We have a solid plan to deliver the first phase of the scheme not later than the third quarter of 2021,” he said.
Akinderu-Fatai said “as part of the commitment to ensure that more Lagosians become homeowners, the State Government is determined to complete the first phase of the on-going Ilubirin Foreshore Housing Estate project in Lagos Island Local Government Area of the State.”
The Commissioner  also revealed that the project which is presently a public-private collaboration endeavour will be reviewed in its entirety so as to actualize the vision of an upscale and captivating residential, commercial and leisure environment befitting of its strategic location along the lagoon.
Furthermore, Akinderu-Fatai disclosed that the plan of the present administration to create liveable cities and regenerate existing ones will be fully incorporated in the review process so as to inject new life in the neighbouring communities.
However, according to him, the process of re-examination will be accelerated because the need to close the housing deficit gap is quite urgent.
