Ogun plans low cost housing scheme

The Ogun State Housing Corporation has said that it is planning to deliver low and middle income housing estates across the state.

In a statement, the corporation said its flagship scheme, Plainfields Estate, was already being developed as a community housing prototype that would provide the citizens an opportunity to buy into its plan over the next few years.


According to the statement, the estate will, upon completion, have a variety of apartment units.
The statement read in part, “The corporation will deliver houses and serviced plots across the three senatorial districts, but will avoid a blanket approach.

“This means that these projects will be tailor-made to suit the needs of the locality and the market. Everyone who has recognisable means of livelihood in the formal and informal sectors is qualified to buy.
“However, the corporation is keen to help those who need mortgages and who are first time buyers.  Because our objective is to encourage home ownership, the owner-occupier will always be our preferred buyer. This is by no means a suggestion that the corporation’s estates are being developed to the exclusion of others.

“In addition to this, the corporation will be developing houses specifically for the low-income household.”

It added that the delivery of affordable housing was one of the programmes of the Governor Ibikunle Amosun administration, while investment in infrastructure remained a precursor to the delivery of new communities, towns and cities.

“The housing corporation is completely in alignment with this and is working with building technology providers, locally available materials and the organised artisans’ community to make affordable housing delivery a reality,” it stated.
