Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said ethnicity and religion are not yardsticks for benefitting from Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (Lagos HOMS).
The governor, who said this at the fifth raffle draw of Lagos HOMS held at Agidingbi area of the state where 102 new home owners emerged, explained that the scheme would not discriminate on religious grounds.
He said: “It encompasses the diversity of our country. From the draw, we can see applicants from Igbo, Hausa and Delta, among others, duly participated in the scheme and won in the process.”
The governor emphasised that the scheme did not ask religious and ethnic questions.
“So, tell those who want to divide us by religion that they will fail. This housing scheme has further bound us together,” he said.
He assured that the process was free of bribery and other negative considerations.
“I do not know any state in the federation where 200 homes are put in the market every month. I do not even know any country in West Africa where 200 homes are put in the market every month. This is happening in Lagos State and by an All Progressives Congress (APC) government,” he said.
The governor disclosed that many housing units were at different stages of construction across the state, pointing out that the government had expanded to Ilubirin, Iponri and Akerele Extension, among other areas.
He said the state government did not borrow money from any bank locally or internationally to fund the housing projects, adding that the projects were executed 100 per cent by the government.
