The Ogun State Government has announced that over 100 units of detached and semi-detached duplexes are ready for subscription by members of the public at the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate in Abeokuta.

It also stated that plots of land are available for sale to individuals willing and ready to build their dream houses in the estate.

Commissioner for Housing, Jagunmolu Akande Omoniyi, stated this on Friday while conducting over 100 Realtors and Estate Agents around the PMB Estate, along Kobape Road, Abeokuta.

Speaking further on what subscribers stand to gain in the estate, Omoniyi said that apart from being built on virgin land with great scenery, the estate would feature a shopping mall, perimeter fence and gatehouse, children’s playground, recreational centre, and other facilities comparable to those in major estates around the world.

He said, “This estate is going to be top-notch. It will have facilities that can be compared to first-class estates worldwide. It will have adequate security, a mall, a recreational centre, a playground for children, and other facilities that will make living in this estate a pleasurable experience.

“As you can see, the buildings are constructed with the best materials available anywhere in the country. The buildings are of modern design with ample space. We are building this estate for those who want to live in a quiet environment devoid of the hustle and bustle of the cities and for Nigerians in the Diaspora who want to enjoy the same environment they are used to overseas.”

The commissioner added that the estate is strategically located close to the OgunTechHub, the State Judiciary Complex, a five-minute drive to the Governor’s Office, and 50 minutes to Lagos State. He assured that subscribers, upon full payment, would be given all their title documents.

Jagunmolu Omoniyi stated that the success recorded so far, especially with the Ibara Regeneration Scheme, informed the need for the government to also develop the PMB Estate to make more houses available to the people.

He maintained that the tour aimed to sensitize the housing market through the gathering of more than 100 Realtors and Estate Agents on the facilities being put in place to transform the once-abandoned project into one of the best estates in the country.

He noted that the PMB Estate, started by the past administration, was conceptualised as a site-and-service project with over 500 hectares of land, adding that the state government is currently developing the first cluster of over 50 hectares.

The commissioner further disclosed that the more than 100 buildings, made up of detached and semi-detached duplexes, were being constructed to demonstrate what the state government is capable of achieving.

Omoniyi lamented that despite its huge potential, the PMB Estate was lying fallow with many unfinished and vandalized infrastructures, but has now been transformed into a city of great value for the people of the state and Nigerians in the Diaspora who desire to live and work in the state.

The commissioner emphasised that the Dapo Abiodun-led administration operates an inclusive policy on housing delivery as all segments of the populace in the state have been taken into consideration.

According to him, the present administration, in the last four years, has provided affordable houses to all categories of people, ranging from low to medium and high-income earners. He added that the government desires to ensure that all citizens in the state have a roof over their heads.

He said, “This is the only state that has, within the first four years of its inception, constructed over 4,000 affordable homes in all three Senatorial Districts across the state. Ogun State is the only state that has provided truly affordable houses that are not beyond the reach of the people.

“Our low-income houses go for between N10 million and N15 million, medium-income goes for about N70 million, while the high-income goes for about N175 million. With this, we have engaged over 50,000 artisans through direct labour and turned several unknown villages into smart cities.”

Also speaking, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on the Ogun State Property and Investment Corporation, Farooq Adenugba, said that Cluster 1 in the estate, currently being developed, is provided with facilities like a gatehouse, service building, children’s park, clubhouse, street lights, and a standard drainage system, describing it as “an estate of valleys and hills.”

Adenugba emphasised that the buildings are of high quality and could be compared with the best anywhere in the world.

He stated that the fully detached and semi-detached duplexes are provided with boys’ quarters, just as the fully detached duplexes sit on 900 square metres and the semi-detached duplexes on 500 square metres of land.

While assuring subscribers of getting the right value for their money, Adenugba added that the choice of housing units is strategically located, while each cluster would be fenced to provide the needed security for occupants.

A property practitioner and builder, Mr. Babatunde Denton, while fielding questions from newsmen after the tour of the estate, applauded the state government for siting the project at a strategic location to showcase the state, adding that with the standard of infrastructure and facilities available, the PMB Estate is poised to be a prime estate in the future.

The General Secretary of the Real Estate Developers’ Association of Nigeria, Ogun State chapter, Mr. Ojikutu Olusola, commended the state government for ensuring that quality materials were used in the construction of the buildings, noting that with the government’s involvement in the projects, buyers would have peace of mind after purchasing the properties.
