- The Lagos State Rent Control and Recovery Tribunal: This tribunal was established to regulate and control rents in the state, and to provide a platform for resolving disputes between landlords and tenants.
- The Lagos State Housing Policy: This policy aimed to increase the availability of affordable housing in the state, and to promote the development of new housing projects.
- The Lagos State Rent-to-Own Scheme: This scheme allowed tenants to own their homes by paying a portion of the rent as a deposit, and then making monthly payments to own the property.
Under Governor Ambode's administration, the state government also launched several initiatives to improve the infrastructure and amenities in the state, including the construction of new roads, bridges, and public transportation systems. These initiatives aimed to make Lagos a more livable and attractive place for residents and businesses.
