Hon. Lateef enjoined the government to intensify efforts in the delivery of housing under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration as well as creating an enabling environment for developers to deliver affordable housing.
”The government cannot do it alone. This is one of the ways we can achieve this. You know, if you say we are waiting for the government, it will be very difficult. This is a partnership. And if we have many credible developers like this, we’ll catch up very soon. But we need credible developers like Jejeola.”
”The government is to provide a conducive environment for developers. By providing the land and infrastructure, the houses will be built by developers.”
Hon Lateef stressed.
