From modern infrastructural amenities such as- independent power plant, water treatment plant, gas supply, central sewage system, waste management system to recreational facilities like parks, play ground, to other amenities like- shopping malls, office space, tarred roads, bicycle lane, street lights and crèche, the driving force behind Ogun State’s most sophisticated residential estate is comfort and a high standard of living. Over the years, inadequate plan to provide for the housing needs of the people or at best set standards for private developers had forced residents to settle for less degenerating living conditions. For this reason, the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate plays a vital role in restoring and giving to the good people of Ogun State an uplifted standard of living. The state government through the Ministry of Housing offer lands of various measurements for sale at the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate. These lands are in 5 categories of A, B, C and D, which are earmarked for residential structures covering up to 2,922,652 square meters and the E category covering about 13,975 square meters is allocated to commercial use. President Muhammadu Buhari Estate is to be developed on approximately 50 hectares of land in Kobape. The site is being developed from its raw state in partnership with a private firm that will facilitate the design, execute and advance the estate to an urban setting of monumental infrastructural facilities. The site is strategically located at Kobape on the outskirt of the main Abeokuta township, the capital of Ogun State. It shares boundary with the new Government Model School. The proximity of the estate to the Sagamu interchange of the Lagos-Ibadan express way is about twenty minutes and about 2 minutes from Abeokuta’s Oke-Mosan which houses key structures like the Governor’s Office, State and Federal Secretariats, the Federal High Court and the Nigerian Immigration Office. Others within the vicinity include the NNPC Petrol Station, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Laderin Housing Estate amongst others. Already, the site is evolving from an imaginary concept into a big reality. The Kobape Housing Estate will have infrastructures like good road networks with drainages, bicycle lane, park, play ground, street lights, boundary wall and gate and security post as priorities. The most impressive facilities that marks this project ‘a shift from the norm’ are- independent power plant for electricity distribution, water treatment and distribution plant, central sewage treatment plant, central domestic gas supply systems and waste management systems. President Muhammadu Buhari Estate is designed to be residential but with support facilities such as a crèche and a commercial area that will consist of a shopping mall and other utility service centres. It’s a total package. The estate is to be developed on four different plot sizes to meet individual preferences. These plot sizes are 625, 1200, 1500 and 1800 square metres.
