Ogun delivered 5,000 homes in six years, targets 10,000 by 2027 – Abiodun

The Ogun State Government has revealed that over 5,000 housing units have been delivered across the state’s three senatorial districts since 2019.

Governor Dapo Abiodun, who disclosed this during a progress update via X on Wednesday, reaffirmed his administration’s ambitious goal to double that figure, targeting a total of 10,000 units by the year 2027.

Speaking on the impact of the housing drive, the governor highlighted the massive return on investment for subscribers.

He noted that two-bedroom bungalows in areas like Kobape and Kainji, which were initially sold to civil servants for approximately ₦4.95 million and the public for ₦5 million, have seen their market value soar to over ₦25 million.

Areas such as Ibara GRA in Abeokuta, once considered an eyesore, are undergoing steady renewal to reflect the status of a modern state capital. Between 2019 and today, the delivery of over 5,000 units has directly addressed the housing deficit while stimulating the real estate and construction sectors.

Abiodun, in the statement reflecting on the journey so far, said, “We have remained deliberate and committed in our resolve to transform Ogun State’s housing and urban environment. Our housing drive, anchored on affordability, quality, and sustainability, has delivered estates across the three senatorial districts… we remain resolute in our commitment to making housing more accessible and reaching our target of 10,000 units by 2027.”

The projects remain strategically spread across the state, including Kobape and Kainji in Ogun Central, Ilaro in Ogun West, and Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode, and the Gateway Aviation Village in Iperu in Ogun East.

By maintaining this momentum, the administration aims to continue building communities that are safe, planned, and investment-friendly, reshaping the economic future of Ogun State”, Abiodun added.
