The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has called on landlords and property owners in the State not to increase house rents.
The Governor who spoke at the inauguration of key infrastructure projects in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area, urged the landlords to avoid raising rents.
Sanwo-Olu made the call while commissioning the Abiola-Ajayi-Ogba and Obawole-Iju-Ishaga Road projects on Monday.
The Governor spoke on the importance of the road projects to the development of the area.
He said, “These developments are aimed to provide relief to residents rather than add to their burdens.
“I appeal to landlords and landowners: do not increase your rents and property prices. The essence of the infrastructure built is to bring relief to the people and not burden residents.”
The newly inaugurated 643-meter road, featuring a bridge and slip roads, connects areas that were previously accessible only via makeshift wooden bridges requiring a crossing fee.
“I am committed to addressing the long-standing problems of communities, including flooding and commuting. These projects symbolize our dedication to improving Lagosians’ daily lives,” Sanwo-Olu added.
