Lagos PDP Candidate Deji Doherty Proposes Government-Rented Homes to Ease Housing Costs

At a Lagos governorship debate in Lekki on Sunday night, PDP candidate Adedeji Doherty said the government could not control private landlords. He proposed that the state rent homes from property owners and then sublet them to residents. Doherty also questioned whether 150,000 homes could be built within four years, citing construction costs and the difficulty of controlling building-material prices. He raised Lagos’s debt burden, electricity supply and local government autonomy as other issues affecting residents.
