2027: Rhodes-Vivour promises 100,000 housing units in first term, affordable transport

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has vowed to provide Lagosians with 100,000 affordable housing units in his first term if elected governor in 2027. During a town hall meeting hosted by The Platform, Rhodes-Vivour also promised to create a platform for Lagos residents to report intimidation by police operatives and thugs.

He added that his administration will tackle thug presence on the streets by equipping them with vocational skills, to transform them into productive members of society.

Rhodes-Vivour further stated that his administration will focus on improving localisation, job creation, and skills training at the ward and local government levels. He also plans to empower the police by establishing help desks across the state, where residents can report any cases of unfair treatment. In addition, the ADC candidate announced his commitment to create a multimodal and affordable transportation network in Lagos, with all lines completed within two years.

Furthermore, Rhodes-Vivour pledged to decentralise waste management and empower local governments in the state, leading to an efficient waste-to-wealth value chain that will generate energy from waste.
