The LSDPC flats owners are appealing
to the Ambode government to please relocate them for the LSDPC flats they
purchased from them which they demolished for the Agege Bridge.
They expected the government to
have relocated them to other government housing before the demolition, but
since they did not do that and decided to demolish the place and threw them out
with no considerations for their survival.
Among the flats owner are aged
people, widows, retired civil servant and even orphan… it has been more than three (3) Months now that this
houses had been demolished and yet the flat owners are not relocated.
Most of these people used their severance payment to buy the house while even used mortgage finance and some on instalments and they are aged, and with believed that if housing issue is removed from someone pains, then the pain is less.
Interviews with some affected resident and one of them who spoke in his native dialect (Yoruba) said: “We have voted for Ambode the now Governor of Lagos state to make life better for us and not to make it meaningless. We urge the Governor to come to our aid and bail us out of this injustice meted on us by his people.”

The
effected resident of LSDPC owners lamented, that the state Commissioner for
Physical Planning and Urban Development, Abiola Anifowoshe held stakeholders’
meetings with owners of the affected property and assured them of adequate
compensation in Jan. 2018.
Sadly the Lagos State government has not started any relocation of the displaced residents of the Ijaiye Low-cost Housing Estate.
