Lagos State housing projects have created 5,287 jobs so far in 2024, while also training over 500 artisans to boost the quality of work in the construction sector.

This was disclosed by Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, the Lagos State Commissioner for Housing, during the ministerial press briefing marking Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second year in office.

The Commissioner highlighted that the scale of construction activities undertaken by the ministry has provided both direct and indirect job opportunities for 13,749 people in the state over the past six years.

The jobs span various skill levels, ensuring broad distribution of benefits. As of December 2024, 5,287 jobs had been created, impacting 28,507 households.

Despite creating job opportunities, the Commissioner noted that training was also prioritised to enhance work quality across construction sites.

He said:

โ€œOver 500 artisans were trained under the Master Craftsman Training Programme. The six-week programme, usually organised in collaboration with consultants and the Lagos State Technical and Vocational Board, was certified by the Nigerian Institute of Building.

โ€œSubjects taught include plumbing and pipework, masonry, painting and decoration, carpentry and furniture making, and electrical installations. The retrained craftsmen were issued certificates, start-up tools/equipment, and work gear.โ€

After the training, contractors and development partners are expected to continue engaging the services of these skilled artisans, fostering long-term relationships that support the growth of the construction industry.

Speaking on the ministry’s achievements in recoveries, Akinderu-Fatai stated that N295.47 million was recovered, along with 20 properties, on behalf of third parties through a resolution process involving tenants, land buyers, fraudulent estate agents, property developers, and land vendors.

He noted that the agency has the legislative authority to explore Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms to settle real estate-related disputes amicably, before escalating them to the appropriate enforcement authorities if necessary.
