The Lagos State Government has announced an ambitious housing agenda aimed at delivering over 14,000 new housing units by the first quarter of 2026. This large-scale initiative is designed to bridge the state’s housing gap and enhance access to quality, affordable housing for its residents.
Progress Since 2019
Since assuming office in 2019, the current administration has completed close to 10,000 housing units. These include both fully state-funded projects and joint ventures with private sector developers. One of the latest additions is a 270-unit residential estate in Egan-Igando—marking the 21st estate commissioned under this administration across all five divisions of the state.
Several major housing schemes are currently underway across Lagos, each at different stages of development. Highlights include:
- Egan-Igando Clusters II & III: 576 units, set for completion by early 2026
- Sangotedo Phase II (Eti-Osa East): 528 units, projected for Q3 2025
- Epe Housing Scheme (Itamarun): 112 units, due by Q4 2025
- Ajara Housing Scheme (Badagry): 420 units, expected by Q2 2025
- Ibeshe Phase II (Igbogbo-Baiyeku): 192 units, to be delivered by Q3 2025
As of Q1 2025, construction at the Epe site was 82% complete, while other projects reported progress between 50% and 86%.
The Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) continues to play a vital role in expanding housing delivery. Over the past six years, it has completed 12 housing schemes, contributing 710 new homes. Currently, LSDPC is overseeing 25 active developments, expected to yield an additional 2,415 units.
With 4,052 homes under construction and another 2,224 in the planning pipeline, Lagos State is steadily advancing toward its goal of delivering 14,022 new housing units by early 2026. This comprehensive housing push underscores the government’s commitment to urban development, reducing the housing deficit, and enhancing the quality of life for its growing population.
