IMPORTANT NOTICE

Mr. Gbenga Ashafa, the Permanent Secretary of the  Lagos State Lands Bureau has said that as part of the plan of the Lagos State Government to decongest metropolitan Lagos towards the North West, South West and Lekki axis, fourteen new schemes are to be developed in different parts of the state.

Nine new Government Schemes are to be sited in the Lekki axis. The Schemes are all located after Ajah towards Epe. Fairmont Garden Scheme, Rainbow Mixed Development Scheme, Kings Court Residential Scheme, CBD/Mixed Development Grand View Mixed Development Scheme, Ibeju Mixed Development Scheme, Savannah Mixed Development Scheme, Pearl Scheme and Queens Palm Mixed Development Scheme are the grand sounding names of the new estates. This is probably because they are planned as high-end and middle-end estates.

According to the officials of the Public Relations Department of New Towns Development Authority (NTDA)   both Fairmont Garden Scheme and Rainbow Mixed Development Scheme are located in Olokonla behind Abraham Adesanya Estate about three minutes drive after Ajah junction and about seven minutes drive from VGC. Both schemes are to be for mixed developments (commercial and residential). Opposite Abraham Adesanya Estate is Grand View Mixed Development Scheme.

Kings Court Residential Scheme is situated in Sangotedo about ten minutes drive from VGC. The total land area of this scheme is 70.19 hectares as follows: Sports area 5.34hectares, Housing 28.84hectares, Services 12.71hectares, Site and Services area 20.30 (hectares). It has been designed in 5 Phases with only Phase 1 presently being developed. Phases 2 to 5 are awaiting investors to join the Government in developing the estate on a Private Public Partnership (PPP) basis.

CBD/Mixed Development Scheme, Savannah Mixed Development Scheme, Queens Palm Mixed Development Scheme and Ibeju Mixed Development Scheme are all located in Abijo in Ibeju Lekki about five minutes drive from Sangotedo and about fifteen minutes drive from VGC. The last on the list, Pearl Scheme is located in Ogombo a fast developing neighbourhood along the Lekki Epe expressway. Ogombo is about ten minutes drive from VGC towards Epe Town.

Though the new schemes have already been earmarked for different parts of the Lekki Peninsula, official information from NTDA, shows that they are yet to be available for the public to buy into. The explanation given for this is that, NTDA wants infrastructure to be put in the schemes before they start allocating them to the public. “We want to forestall the cases were Allottees refuse to develop their plots for a long time and distort the plans of the state government with excuses that they cannot move into their sites because of lack of infrastructure like roads, electricity, drainage etc. They however said some of the schemes will be available to the public before the end of the year.

Despite being planned as high-end and middle-end estates, officials of NTDA explained that their prices will be affordable with due consideration given to current price trends in the axis.
