The Lagos State House of Assembly Committee on Housing has summoned Armonia Properties Development Company Limited to the Assembly for allegedly abandoning the two blocks of Lagos HOMS project it is handling in Omole Phase 2 Area of the state.
Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Olanrewaju Ibrahim Layode, who led other members of the committee on a visit to the project sites on Thursday, expressed dissatisfaction with the stage the housing project being handled by the company was, especially when it was discovered that they have been properly mobilised for the project.
The committee members, who were taken round the project site by officials of the New Towns Development Authority (NTDA) that is supervising the sites, declared that the committee would not take it lightly with any contractor who fails to deliver the Lagos HOMS project as at when due.
“We will not allow any contractor mess up the laudable project of the state government. The project is meant to make life better for our people and we will not compromise that. All hands must be on deck to ensure that the work is done as at when due. I wonder why officials of Armonia are not here. We will want them to come to the Assembly with NTDA officials to explain what happened to the two blocks of building they are handling,” Layode said.
Other Lagos HOMS sites visited on the day by the committee, which began the two-week tour on Wednesday, were the ones in Oko Oba, Omole Phase 1, Magodo and Akanimodo, which are still at piling level.
