Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has said about 200 units of semi-detached, detached, fully detached duplexes and terraces under construction at Muhammadu Buhari Estate, Abeokuta are at advanced stages of completion and will be delivered before the end of the year.
He said his administration was working towards providing affordable houses for all strata of the society.
The governor said this while fielding questions from reporters after he inspected construction at the estate located on Kobape Road, Abeokuta.

He said some of the buildings under construction had been fully paid for, while part payments had been made for others, stressing the need for the contractors to step up work to meet the completion dateline.
“Today, we have almost 200 buildings that are upcoming. Since the last time that I came here, many of them have been sold; some have paid in part, others have paid in full. The reason I came here today is to see how we are doing and to see how I can reconcile the date of delivery with the level of progress on the project. I am impressed, but I think the contractors can work harder.”
“I have instructed the Ogun State Property Investment Corporation (OPIC) to convene a meeting of the contractors and read them a riot act. We want to finish this project in no distant future,” the governor said.
