Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, has outlined a proposed housing programme that would allow residents to move into bigger homes as their income and family sizes increase.
Speaking during the 2027 Lagos Governorship Debate, organised around the theme, “The Economy: Who Is Prosperity Working For?” and broadcast live on Channels Television, GRV explained how his proposed programme would cater to people at different stages of life.
He said, “A young man just came out of school, wants to live independently, we are not going to tell him to live in his parent’s house. We have a self-contained unit that is beautifully designed and you can stay there until you need to expand your capacity.
“When you get married, there is a program that allows you move to a two-bedroom place. You have three children, there is a program that allows you go to a three-bedroom place.
“And there is credit that is being acquired, or points that are being acquired, all down this value chain, so that in your 40s, your 50s, that can then be applied to a mortgage.
“The idea is to social-engineer how people manage. So that’s one aspect of it, alright.”
