Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday served as Chief Host at the opening of the 6th Lagos Real Estate Marketplace Conference and Exhibitions held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island.
Eko Hot News reports that the governor said rising interest from global investors reflects growing confidence in Lagos as a strong and performing urban economy with global relevance.
Governor Sanwo-Olu noted that while Lagos’ skyline continues to expand, the state’s priority is ensuring inclusive, liveable, and sustainable growth that delivers dignified, affordable, and quality housing for residents.
He described housing as a central pillar of the state’s development agenda, closely linked to infrastructure, transportation, energy supply, and economic opportunity.
The governor disclosed that the state government is investing in roads, rail, and essential services, strengthening regulation through the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA), and promoting innovation across the housing value chain.
He added that affordable housing is being positioned as a viable economic sector driven by strong public-private partnerships to meet the needs of a growing population.
