I’ll tackle housing deficit – Lagos NDC gov candidate

Funso Doherty, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) gubernatorial candidate for Lagos State, pledged to address the housing deficit by implementing a 'radical' approach that aims to deliver tens of thousands of housing units rather than the hundreds typically provided by previous administrations. During a visit to stakeholders in Alimosho Local Government Area, Doherty emphasized the need for strategic land allocation, institutional support such as secondary mortgage finance institutions, and collaboration with private capital. He argued that while government cannot fund everything, it can create a supportive framework to attract investment. Additionally, Doherty promised an inclusive, people-centered governance model focused on improving education, healthcare, transportation, and overall quality of life for Lagos residents.
