Abiodun saves Buhari Estate from forfeiture, delivers 108 homes

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has successfully saved the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate in Abeokuta from potential forfeiture and transformed it into a 108-unit modern residential community. The former undeveloped site, located along the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway, had become embroiled in a legal dispute over unpaid contractor obligations.

The Abiodun administration settled the dispute out of court and secured the state's interest in the property. Rather than abandon the inherited project, the administration adopted a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with the state providing land and infrastructure while private developers handled construction and sales. Following this intervention, the PMB Estate now features 108 four-bedroom and semi-detached duplexes, offering modern architecture and high-quality infrastructure.

The fully detached homes, measuring approximately 900 square meters, boast four en-suite bedrooms, spacious living areas, and a terrace, while the semi-detached units offer similar amenities, excluding a study. The estate, strategically located near key institutional, commercial, and transportation hubs, is also attracting private-sector investment, with Access Bank developing a training school and additional facilities within the community.

The completion of the PMB Estate exemplifies the Abiodun administration's commitment to protecting public investments, leveraging private capital, and converting inherited liabilities into productive infrastructure for Ogun State residents.
