Lagos HOMS produces another 34 winners

Thirty-four applicants have emerged winners in the October draw of the Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme organised by the Lagos State Mortgage Board. The winners were selected out of the 93 applicants that were pre-qualified for the draw.

 The Executive Secretary, LSMB, Mr. Akinola Kojo-Sagoe, said the winners met the criteria for participation in the scheme. Governor Babatunde Fashola stated that the state government would not relent on its promise to deliver at least 200 homes every month.

 Fashola, who was represented at the draw by the deputy governor, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, also appealed to tax-paying residents of the state to key into the scheme. He added that the scheme was the state government’s intervention strategy to reduce the housing deficit in the country.

 According to the governor, the scheme is also part of the policy thrust of his administration to address the problems of education, transportation, health, food production and road construction. “The housing sector has become a major focus of this administration through the Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme,” he said.

 While congratulating the new homeowners for having the vision to key into the Lagos HOMS, the deputy governor urged them to continuously spread the news to their families and friends so that they too could benefit from the initiative. “This scheme does not encourage discrimination in terms of religion or race; people from different parts of the country and of different religious backgrounds have won in the past draws and are now proud homeowners by virtue of just being Lagos residents, with evidence of tax payment and the Lagos State Resident Registration Agency’s identification card,” Orelope-Adefulire added. 

 Kojo-Sagoe stated that the schemes available for the draw were the Alhaja Adetoun Mustapha and Olaitan Mustapha schemes in Ojokoro; Rotimi Shotomiwa Estate in Igbogbo, Ikorodu; Igando Gardens in Alimosho; Ilupeju Scheme; Mushin Scheme; and Shogunro Scheme one and two in Ogba. He added that in no distant time up-coming schemes at Sangotedo in Ibeju-Lekki; Omole in Ikeja; Oko-Oba in Agege; Ajara in Badagry; Magodo II and Iponri would be ready for draws.
