Governor Sanwo-Olu allotted all the apartments of the Lateef Kayode Jakande Housing Estate in Igando to 492 families certified by the State’s Mortgage Board to benefit from the scheme. A 56-year-old widow, Mrs Fatimat Kosoko, betrayed emotion as her name was being announced to benefit in the scheme. Sanwo-Olu described the development as “a promise kept ahead of time”, noting that his administration’s modified rent-to-own housing scheme took off earlier than expected. Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, said all housing schemes initiated by the previous administrations were being speedily worked on for completion on the order of the Governor. Akinderu-Fatai said the housing scheme was conceived with the objective to create first-time homeownerswithin the next four years.
