LAGOS H.O.M.S PROJECT A SHAM

BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.

The Lagos State Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme project has been described as a sham.

In an exclusive investigations on the matter by Paedia express Multimedia in Lagos ,Nigeria it was discovered through some clients that have patronized the scheme that the project was another of several white elephant project of the government .

 A source told Paedia Express Multimedia that he brought one of the prime properties under the scheme in Shahsha  and after buying it he had to spend another N500,000 to carry out repair works on the building.

He insisted that by the time he brought his apartment he discovered that the window wooden vane had been destroyed by termites.

He listed some of the substandard materials in the buildings as toilet facilities, water systems among others.

He noted that each customer of the state government under the scheme have to pay a sum of  around N17million in all but quickly added that prospective customers will have to make an initial payment of N7million.

He assured that it was the same story with the Lagos H.O.M.S project in Ogba ,adding that their was nobody that will buy the flats in Ogba without spending an additional N300,000 to carry out repair works.

In a related issue, another source  said that it was sad that because a lot of people were not aware of the poor quality of work done on the houses ,people have to resign themselves to grim fate once they have paid the huge sums of money to be allotted the property.

He described the new set of apartments built in  Lagos state in partnership with the organized private sector as a modernized form of civilian barrack.

His words:”You can hear what your next door  neighbor is doing at all times,if he is playing music and you are not then it means you cannot sleep in your own home”

‘If a couple are having sex then you can also listen to all sorts of ringing tones, all the  facilities inside are sub standard all through”

“You can only park a vehicle in the car park and not too ,so it means that it is either your neighbor does not have a car at all or you are in trouble as you will not have a space to park at all”

He added that Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola may not even know of the level of substandard products in the building as officials believe that each of the owners will repair its own to its taste.
