According to Daily Trust, The Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Abiola Anifowoshe has explained that the Lagos State government decision to re-generate slums in the state is aimed at reducing homelessness among residents of the affected areas.<\/p>\n
Anifowoshe disclosed this to Daily Trust correspondent, at the workshop on United Nations Habitat III \u2013 Urban Thinkers Campus- TheCity We Need in Lagos.<\/p>\n
He said the government has taken into consideration, the plights of those who may be affected if the slum dwellers are simply chased out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe United Nation has identified 100 slums in Lagos. The responsibility of the agency is to re-generate the identified slums and make them habitable for residents. We don\u2019t just want to chase people out which may lead to mass homelessness. And we have extended the regeneration efforts to five slums across the state and we are going to do more.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Isale-gangan for instance, we brought together about 25 families, who were living in shanties and bungalows. We asked them to come together and donate their lands. We then embark on the regeneration of the communities, provide them with world-class facilities needed and even relaxation infrastructures like swimming pool among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the renewal was on, the people were relocated to good apartments free of charge. And when we are through, they will be relocated back to their respective households vacated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Anifowoshe added that the Urban Thinker Campus Forum which is an initiative of UN Habitat\u2019s World Urban Campaign was conceived as an avenue for the critical exchange of ideas between urban researchers, professionals, local governments, grassroots communities, policy makers and all stakeholders to develop solutions to address urban challenges and promote sustainable urbanization.<\/p>\n
