Ogun State To Develop Ultra-Modern Housing Estate For Indigenes |
Speaking, while handing over the site, the Commissioner for Housing in the state, Mr. Daniel Adejobi reaffirmed that the state government’s plan on massive housing provision was on course.
Adejobi pointed out that the developer, Hongxiang Construction Company Limited from China would provide basic infrastructure such as roads, drainages, water, power supply, school, shopping mall amongst others, adding that prospective home owners within the ultra-modern estate are to be guided by government on the choice of houses to be built.
According to him, plots of land would be made available to individual buyers on a cash and carry basis to build houses of their choice, but in conformity with government standard.
“There would be no constraints on owners of lands on what to build, but they would only be guided by us in order to meet the Ogun standard; we don’t want just any kind of houses, but very decent houses that would befit the plan of the housing estate”, Adejobi noted.
The Commissioner revealed that for civil servants interested in buying lands within the proposed estate, the state government would work out modalities on how to spread their payment in order to enable them benefit from the scheme.
Also speaking, the company’s Executive Director, Business Development, Paul Olotun said every estate should have its planned layout and be independent of some public utilities such as electricity supply, gas pipe line and the likes, saying that “this is why we are on ground to provide all necessary amenities to make the environment conducive”.
He assured that the local content law would be strictly adhered to as the company intends to engage the services of indigenous workers at the site which is already been cleared by earth-moving machines in preparation for commencement of work.
