Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji
Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has launched the construction of 1,000 affordable housing units under the Ado Ekiti New Town Project.
The project, in partnership with the private sector, is part of the governor’s strategy to enhance growth and development in the state.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Oyebanji said, “My administration will prioritise the provision of a housing scheme that will help relieve the populace from the stress of building homes themselves.”
The governor also revealed that 1,000 units of housing would be delivered within the next year.
While pledging to leave a lasting legacy in the provision of mass housing in Ekiti State, Oyebanji noted that the state’s current housing deficit was concerning.
He emphasised the urgent need for the government to adopt a housing model that optimises limited space and delivers safe homes through public-private partnerships for the people of Ekiti.
He reassured the public that the government would adopt a global housing policy that enables people to become homeowners through an inclusive and convenient financing system based on their incomes.
The governor added that this policy, alongside the option of outright purchase for those who can afford it, would support a sustainable system in which homes are consistently made available to the public.
