Over Priced Houses In Lagos Are Owned By The People Meant To Regulate Them - Paul_Uba_

A call for the Lagos State government to tackle exorbitant rents drew the comment, “The people that have the power to make the change are actually the owners of these overpriced housing.”

This highlights a critical conflict of interest: when policymakers are also major stakeholders, reforms may face resistance. However, this doesn’t mean change is impossible. Public pressure, transparency, and advocacy for fair housing policies can challenge such dynamics, ensuring that governance prioritizes the people’s welfare over personal gain.
