One of the major highlights is the commissioning of a housing estate, which is the first of its kind by an LCDA in Nigeria. This estate consists of 101 units of mixed-use development, including flats, semi-detached, and detached territories. The aim of this project is to provide quality housing options for the residents of Agboyi-Ketu and contribute to national development.

But that’s not all! Mayor Dele Oshinowo also announced the upcoming commissioning of another estate, which will have 117 units. This includes two estates called Raymond Estate and
Sterling heights both located in the same area. These initiatives are part of their strategy to address the housing deficit in the community and utilize the available land effectively.

Mayor Dele Oshinowo emphasized that their goal is not only to empower the community but also to contribute to the overall development of Agboyi-Ketu, Lagos State, and Nigeria as a whole. They recognized the need for change and took action to transform the perception of local government by engaging in projects that have a lasting impact.

Mayor Dele Oshinowo mentioned that the establishment of a property and investment board was set up, supported by legislative bye laws. This board aims to bring in experts in real estate to oversee land administration and drive the development of the area.

The journey hasn’t been easy, though. It took a lot of time and effort to redesign the concept and secure support from the state government, led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The Governor’s assistance has been instrumental in making their vision a reality.

One of their notable achievements is the commissioning of Glooms Garden, a housing estate that stands out as the first of its kind by an LCDA in Nigeria. This project has made a significant contribution towards addressing the housing deficit in Lagos and even in the wider Nigerian context. It’s truly remarkable!

This time, they’re planning to introduce a whopping 278 units, including two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom apartments, and four-bedroom semi-detached homes. And that’s not all! The Lagos government is also working on their own project, which will offer around 258 units.

Mayor Dele Oshinowo is urging the people of Lagos, to get involved in this fantastic opportunity. All you have to do is visit the sales office, discuss your payment preferences, and secure your spot. The payment plan is flexible and structured, making it easier for everyone to participate. As long as you meet the requirements, you’re good to go.

He said he’s also planning to create a state-of-the-art ICT hall. They’re partnering with big names like Microsoft and Google, as well as other software providers in the division. This means we’ll have access to incredible resources and training opportunities. You’ll be able to learn skills like graphics design and so much more. The best part is, you don’t even have to meet anyone in person! Just visit their website, click on the link, and book your session. Within 30 minutes to an hour, you’ll have access to two sessions per week. It’s first come, first serve, so make sure to grab your spot whenever you have the chance.

Mayor Oshinowo gave updates about the ongoing projects in the LCDA. In Agboyi town, they’re constructing a sports field that will take about 6 months to complete. The area is waterlogged, so they’ve already finished the embankment and filling. The size of the field is approximately 58m by 48m, and they’re using sharp sand to ensure that people can play football there, rain or shine.

Another project is starting next month in Ajegunle, and there’s another one planned for Ketu Olorunda mechanic village. These projects will provide recreational centers for our youth to enjoy. It’s great to see the government investing in facilities that promote physical activity and community engagement.

Mayor Oshinowo mentioned that they’ve already covered 64 kilometers of road in terms of rehabilitation and repairs. They’ve been working hard to improve the infrastructure in our area, and it’s definitely making a difference.

He said there’s a simultaneous project happening in all 20 Local Governments and 37 LCDA in Lagos State. For Agboyi-Ketu They’ve chosen Irawo road as the starting point, specifically Ori ade street and Okubadejo first. This road is about 860 meters long, and they’re committed to making it better for everyone.

Mayor Oshinowo said They’ve done a lot to assist people and improve their health. One of their partnerships was with LASHMA, where they were able to help 3,000 people get health insurance through the Ilera Eko program.

Speaking of health, they’ve also completed the renovation of the health center across the LCDA. And Some of the representatives at the National Assembly and State Assembly have helped facilitate the construction of a new health center in Agboyi town.

But it doesn’t stop there. The federal government has also been making some positive changes. They’ve completed the first phase of an access bridge into Agboyi town, which will make it easier for people to visit and learn about our ancient town. And they’re planning to construct a road from Ogudu to Agboyi town, which will open up the area and bring more opportunities for everyone.

Mayor Oshinowo and the team have also been taking care of the environment. Every year, they work on the canals, even though it’s not their duty as the local government. They dredge and maintain the canal to prevent major floods in our community.

The LCDA has installed over 30 boreholes, providing up to 100 liters of water per day, which is shared across the three towns. Each town has five fetching points, ensuring access for everyone.

He said They’re planning to do even more, like addressing the water issue in a town that currently doesn’t have access. It’s all part of their budget for this year. In Owode Orile, they’re aiming to install a borehole with a fetching capacity of at least 80,000 liters per day.
