Affordable indeed.
Our government need to build more high rise buildings. All these 2-3 storey buildings can’t solve housing the deficits.

Where will they get the electric power for the lifts (Elevator)

Hit me up I need it

Needing housing doesn't mean everyone should OWN housing

They can be tenants
Your claim about prioritising middle class needs is based on what?

if the government caters for the needs of the middle class, the poor will automatically be taken care of. But if the government jumps the middle class to go give free welfare to the poor, it creates a major imbalance and crisis in society.


Research or self interest?

So the middle class should keep renting forever as tenants, whilst the government builds free or cheap houses for the poor?... If that happens, by natural law, the middle class (that has the financial capacity) would still end up buying up all the low cost houses. It's impractical to jump the middle class who are still renting in poor condition to go cater for housing needs of poor who cant pay for new houses.

This government are not serious ,so it’s lekki that will build affordable homes ,this man is planning his retirement plan because he will end up buying them after he left government .

Wow!! this is one of the most beautiful housing estate i've ever seen just woww!!! . Superb quality at its finest

You tried!

But you've seen nothing!!!

Depends on who lives there
If you go to some low cost accommodation in London you would be disgusted. Urine in the lifts needles and syringes in communal areas etc.
We need to stop hating on ourselves

That it is done elsewhere doesn't make it right and acceptable in Nigeria. That same thing happens in a low cost areas of London doesn't justify that we should have total disregard for maintenance in Nigeria.

What I said about our maintenance culture in Nigeria still remains. There is no sentiments here please. Our attitude still remains bad towards order and cleanliness.

See how people, rich and poor, throws things on the road, public buildings defaced and in poor sanitary conditions, citizens dumping refuse at any available space, decrepit houses everywhere as a result of bad maintenance.

Truth be told, this project is not meant for the low income earners. Even if the government decides to give it to them at subsidized rate, they wont have the capacity to maintain it. This building will become a shadow of itself in few years if given to the low income earners. Maintenance is key in this case.

Good.

But that are not for ordinary people on the street.
They should be considered.

4get London ,na rubbish as far as I am concerned. .

People that can't afford a bag of cement are complaining that the houses aren't affordable.

Do you think land is cheap?
Do you think building is cheap?

If you can't afford it, move to a location you can afford.

I passed by the event & the crowd that I saw in these days of social distancing scared me.

Tomorrow now, they’ll say we have more cases. LASG should have commissioned that project with less than 30 people including the press.

That’s common sense.

I did not discuss acceptability. That was not the context or thrust of my post. My point was problems happen everywhere and we should stop self disparagement
I do not agree with your argument on maintenance culture fully. In the private sector it is very different from government. These sorts of schemes are privately administered and there are several successes in Lagos.

People throw things where they should not all over the world, it is called fly tipping and is a menace everywhere but I don't see what that has to do with this

Affordable to a certain class of people

Did I say that.? You have an unfortunate manner of debating by reductio ad absurdum

I did not make any recommendations. I just question your very strong and opinionated assertion.

What are they based on.?
What exactly is middle class? Who draws the line?

Housing policy should be debated openly with an open mind and no preconceptions or dogmatism

Many of your claims are ridiculous . Natural law If government builds houses why must they SELL them. That is one option but not the only one
Projects and council properties in the US and UK did not end up bought by middle classes
The properties could be rented .......
Of course that means more work on feasibility but that is not my recommendation. I mentioned it to show one option and no doubt there are different models.

How much is the Total package of each flat??

Someone earlier quoted btw N30m to N35m. I just got other info from a pal in Alausa that over 80% of the total units have been paid for and alloted. Some even paid while it was still being developed.

Paying #30M at once can stress one's finances, therefore, considering buying it with through Mortgage will be the best idea

Bro, forget that one.
Those finances yiu make mention of are the ones that affect us (temporarily).
You see govt people, especially those guys at Alausa - they are Balling every day.
People have paid for units there already.

You didnt mention it but it almost sounded like you implied it. Okay now I get you, it's possible for the govt to rent them; but then, if the middle class still struggles to find decent houses to rent or buy, dont you think there would be an imbalance if the govt ignores the mid class and focuses just on the poor?

The US and UK where you say the council has houses for rent and sale for lower income earners, provision had already been made for the midclass through low interest mortgage schemes, help-to-buy support schemes etc. As organised as these societies are, if there wasnt any provision already made for the midclass, the midclass would somehow manipulate it's way and end up being the ones buying up all those council projects made for the poor. Same logic I believe applies for Nigeria (which is even less organised).

Since the govt has scarce resources, a quick way the govt can kill several birds with one stone (i.e. solve housing problem for medium and low income earners) is to develop housing schemes for mid income earners to buy. The money made from these would be used to develop more housing schemes and in general, there would be a higher supply of houses in our cities to meet the demand. As the mid class moves in to occupy their new homes, those lower in the ladder move up one step to occupy the houses the mid class previously occupied.

By the way, I have a friend who works in a small telecoms firm and earns N120k per month, also have a brother who's also into IT, and earns N380k monthly; both are married with kids. These are the kind of guys I refer to as the Nigerian midclass, generally earning anywhere between N1-10m. They live fairly comfortably on their income, but would never be able to own houses of their own if the govt doesnt step in.
