This was as 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. Mrs. Fatimat Kosoko, a 56-year-old widow and mother of four, betrayed emotion as her name was being announced to benefit in the scheme. Speaking, 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. My joy knows no bound as ordinary people now boast of owning decent homes under my administration,” the governor said. Akinderu-Fatai said the housing scheme was conceived with the objective to create first-time homeowners within the next four years.
