Lagos State governorship hopeful Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), representing the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has proposed a housing scheme designed to let residents move into larger homes as their earnings grow and their households expand.

At the 2027 Lagos Governorship Debate, held under the theme “The Economy: Who Is Prosperity Working For?” and aired live on Channels Television, GRV described how the plan would serve people through different phases 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 parents’ 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 to 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.”
