The governor observed that such bold interventions are necessary in the face of Nigeria’s about 14 million housing deficits and commended Access Bank management for collaborating with the government to provide affordable housing for Lagosians.
He said that the state government welcomes Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and collaborations to help solve core problems for Lagosians, adding that this is the first step of the transformative project.
Sanwo-Olu said:
“This initiative is designed specifically for low-income Lagosians, offering affordable mortgage terms: a down payment of just 10 per cent, a single-digit interest rate, and a repayment period of up to 20 years.”
He also declared that the 704 housing units will comprise 44 blocks of two-bedroom apartments, which will be completed in 2 years.
Speaking on the partnership, Roosevelt Ogbonna, Access Bank’s Group Managing Director, stated that it is part of the bank’s initiative to transform lives and contribute to making Lagos the Centre of Excellence.

He narrated that the bank had tried to initiate a similar project with the federal government in 2008, but its efforts did not yield the desired results.
According to Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, the Lagos state commissioner for housing, the partnership marks the culmination of over two years of discussions with the bank.
A few months ago, Governor Sanwo-Olu commissioned the 170-unit Raymond Estate and Sterling Heights Estate in the Agboyi-Ketu area of Lagos.
