NIGERIA: OGUN State government is set to embark on the construction of 550-gated housing units in Idi-Aba area of Abeokuta, the state capital.

The move is in furtherance of the Governor Ibikunle Amosun-led administration’s commitment towards providing shelter for its citizens, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Housing Development, Jumoke Akinwunmi, has said.

Akinwunmi, who is also the General Manager of the State Housing Corporation, made this known in a chat with journalists in Abeokuta.

She stated that the housing units would sit on 26 hectares of land along Ajebo Estate, adding that the Corporation would harness the topographical feature of the site, with its high, medium and low densities to keep the concept of environmental sustainability for the benefits of the residents.

She explained that the project would be “smart value-for money”, while further stressing that it would be designed as two and three bedroom flats, terraces, semi-detached and fully detached bungalows with self-built homes on serviced plots.  ‎

Akinwunmi said: “This scheme is designed to set a new benchmark in the local real estate market, create competitiveness and ease demand for residential and commercial space for physical developments.”

She also said that the present government “has passion to create new benchmark that would stand the test of quality and affordability, towards delivering another gated estate equipped with modern facilities ranging from central water system, back -up power supply, road networks to substantial landscaping.”
