The new Ibara Government Reserve Area (GRA) Regeneration Scheme is not to displace Civil Servants but to build a modern, vibrant smart city.
Ogun State Commissioner for Housing, Jagunmolu Akande Omoniyi, stated this during an advocacy visit to the Egba Traditional Council, on the new initiative of the Governor on "GRA Regeneration Scheme", at Alake’s Palace, Ake, Abeokuta, saying the project would engender total transformation geared towards enhancing the economic values of the state.
Jagunmolu Omoniyi reeled-out the previous successes recorded in the provision of affordable housing to the people of the State, informing that people’s positive response prompted the government to continue to build more for various categories.
He assured that the project would be completed within 18 months, barring unforeseen circumstances, adding that the project would create employment benefits with the engagement of artisans within the community.
Remarking, the Paramount Ruler and Alake of Egbaland, Oba (Dr.) Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, who expressed his delight about the project, assured the state government of his support towards achieving a holistic transformation in reviving the faded glory of GRAs across the state, promising that Egba people, home and in the Diaspora would be encouraged to participate.
"I am very excited today because of the project you brought to me; you can count on my support. I just do not support but I realised the development the project will bring to Egba land. Due to the location of the project, the housing unit to be built will be over-subscribed", he said.
The monarch implored the government to allocate the third phase of the Prince Court Estates in Kobape and Kemta, Idi-Aba, to the remaining successful applicants, to meet up with their housing challenge.
Speaking on behalf of the Traditional Council, the Asiwaju OnimoEro and OnimoEro of Egbaland, Chief (Engr.) Tokunbo Odebunmi and Chief (Engr.) Adeniyi Akanni, respectively, appreciated Prince Dapo Abiodun’s administration for initiating the Scheme, advising the government to be transparent about the project.
