CLAIM: Obafemi Hamzat, All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate and incumbent Deputy Governor of Lagos State, claimed that the Lagos State Government has built 21 housing estates and 18,000 housing units for citizens.
FINDINGS: On Oct. 24, 2026, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced that his administration had delivered 10,623 housing units across 23 estates since 2019. Sanwo-Olu disclosed this while delivering a keynote speech at the Real Estate Discussions and Awards (REDA 2026).
The governor said the delivered units comprised 4,414 units funded through direct budgetary allocations and 6,209 delivered through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
This figure remains below the 18,000 units Hamzat claimed.
VERDICT: False.
