Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has confirmed the significant progress made in the construction of approximately 200 units of semi-detached, detached, fully detached duplexes, and terraces within the Muhammadu Buhari Estate in Abeokuta.
During an inspection of the ongoing construction of the 200 units in Buhari Estate, situated along Kobape Road in Abeokuta, Governor Abiodun conveyed his vision of ensuring accessible housing for residents of Ogun State. He emphasized that some buyers have already paid in full for some of the homes under construction. Meanwhile, others have seen partial payments, underscoring the urgency for contractors to accelerate their efforts to meet the completion deadline.
