ThinkMint Nigeria has called on the All Progressives Congress, APC candidates in Lagos State to commit to implementing recommendations from the 2026 Real Estate Discussions & Awards, REDA, covering housing delivery, mortgage financing, infrastructure and environmental sustainability.

The company’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mrs Imelda Olaoye, made the appeal while presenting the REDA communiqué to the party’s Deputy Governorship Candidate, Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, for consideration by her and the governorship candidate, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat.

The presentation followed a two-day REDA event at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja GRA, where real estate professionals, investors, developers, financial institutions and other stakeholders discussed challenges and opportunities in the sector.

Olaoye said the presentation was intended to ensure that the stakeholders’ recommendations went beyond conference discussions and received attention in the policy formulation and implementation of the next Lagos administration.

She said Sonayon-James had requested that the discussions, observations and proposed action points be compiled into a single document for review by her and Hamzat.

According to Olaoye, the deputy governorship candidate had stressed the need for the recommendations to produce concrete action rather than become another conference report without follow-up.

She expressed hope that an APC-led administration, if elected, would provide the political will and institutional support required to translate the recommendations into policies and measurable outcomes for the real estate sector.

The communiqué is expected to inform discussions on key issues including housing delivery, infrastructure development, regulatory frameworks, mortgage financing and environmental sustainability.

Olaoye also highlighted the role of government-backed housing finance interventions, including the MOFI-MREIF and Family Homes Funds, in efforts to expand access to mortgage financing and improve housing affordability.

She called for sustained support for innovative mortgage solutions, effective regulation and infrastructure development to address housing challenges and attract investment in Lagos.

The ThinkMint chief executive further disclosed that the company’s Green Mortgage platform facilitated mortgage transactions valued at up to ₦10 billion for customers in 2026.

She said the transactions reflected the company’s efforts to expand access to homeownership and strengthen the mortgage market.

Olaoye commended Sonayon-James for her interest in the communiqué and urged real estate stakeholders and Lagos residents to remain engaged in discussions on the state’s development.
