Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, at the weekend inaugurated the first phase of a multi- million-naira housing estate in Ibadan, pledging that his administration would embark on infrastructural revolution in the state.

He used the opportunity to query the rationale behind the sale of government lands and quarters by some of his predecessors, whom he accused of selling such properties to their cronies at ridiculous prices.

The estate, christened “Olive Court” and located at Agodi GRA, is expected to accommodate 45 duplexes but had is first phase of 15 buildings completed within 18 months. The estate is furnished with facilities such as independent power supply, sewage system and water supply.

The project was a partnership between the state government and UPDC, a subsidiary of United African Company (UAC).
The governor said that the building of the estate was a further demonstration of his administration’s commitment to the rapid development of the state through the provision of necessary social and economic infrastructure for the people.
Ajimobi said, “This edifice is one of the legacy projects of this administration. It is the actualization of our dream for the physical infrastructural development of Oyo State. This state must continue to be developed.

“We are committed to actualizing the overall development of this state.  A good leader must not only have dreams but must ensure that the dreams are actualized.”
