Ibara Regeneration Scheme: Ogun Govt Warns Allottees Not To Resell Land
Ibara Regeneration Scheme: You Can’t Resell Your Land, Ogun Govt Tells Allottees
Ogun State government has warned allottees of the Ibara Regeneration Scheme not to sell their land once allocated as doing so would defeat the purpose of the scheme.
Speaking at a Stakeholders’ meeting in Abeokuta on Saturday, the Commissioner for Housing, Jagunmolu Jamiu Omoniyi, said the state government intends to give the state a world-class new city that would be the pride of all.
According to him, the plan of the state government is to recreate Banana Island or Parkview Estates in Ogun State with the Ibara scheme as the starting point.
He said that the present administration’s vision is to revolutionize housing in the state, adding that the caveat attached to the allocation mandate allottees to start construction immediately while any attempt to resell the land would be met with immediate revocation.
He said: “This administration intends to create another estate that will be better than Banana Island. We want to create another Abeokuta where our sons and daughters who live abroad, Lagos or Abuja, can find a place they can call their own instead of sleeping in hotels whenever they visit.
“The agreement is that you will not buy the property for speculative purposes. We will not allow anyone to buy and resell those plots. As a matter of fact, 60 days from today, you must start developing your plot. If you don’t, there is an agreement under oath that everyone has signed to. We will revoke those plots no matter how highly placed you are. If you deviate from the agreement, we will go ahead and revoke and reallocate to another person.”
Giving a background of the Ibara Estate, Omoniyi said a total of 232 bungalows made up of two and three bedrooms were built at the creation of Ogun State to provide accommodation to civil servants who were moved from Ibadan, noting that the location was chosen because of its closeness to Oke-Ilewo, where the state secretariat located as at then.
He said massive development has taken place in Government Reservation Areas in the States that were part of the old western region except Ibara GRA, which is still underdeveloped.
