ABEOKUTA, Nigeria (NPA) — Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is scheduled to commission the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate in Abeokuta, following the completion of the 108-unit residential project by the Ogun State Government.

The estate, located along the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway, had remained largely undeveloped for years and was subsequently threatened by a legal dispute between the state government and the contractor over unpaid obligations.

The Ogun State Government, under Governor Dapo Abiodun, intervened to resolve the dispute out of court and secure the state’s interest in the property, preventing its possible forfeiture.

According to the state government, the administration subsequently adopted a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model for the completion of the estate, with the government providing the land and infrastructure while private developers undertook the construction and sale of the houses.

The completed residential community comprises 108 four-bedroom fully detached and semi-detached duplexes, alongside modern infrastructure and amenities.

These include internal roads, street lighting, water supply, 24-hour power, recreational facilities, landscaping and security.

The estate is scheduled to be formally commissioned on Tuesday by Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

Governor Abiodun described the completion of the project as another demonstration of his administration’s commitment to completing inherited projects, protecting public assets and leveraging private-sector investment to deliver quality housing and infrastructure across the state.

The governor said the development also reflected the administration’s determination to ensure that abandoned or stalled public projects are revived and put to productive use for the benefit of residents.

The state government said the project would contribute to expanding access to quality housing while demonstrating the potential of public-private partnerships in delivering infrastructure and residential developments.
