The Lagos State Government has sought increased collaboration with World Bank for the development of mass housing schemes in the state.
This appeal was made by the Commissioner for Housing Lagos State Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, during a working visit of a team led by the Senior Urban Development Specialist and the Spatial Planning Community of Practice Leader at the World Bank, Dr Fuad Malkawi, to the ministry in Alausa Secretariat, Lagos.
Akinderu-Fatai called for partnership with the World Bank to ensure that the vision of housing for all in Lagos Mega City is attained.
Justifying the appeal, the commissioner pointed out that the uninhibited migration to Lagos from other states of the federation as well as some nations in the west coast has made the issue of housing provision very critical in the state.
