Ogun State House of Assembly, through its Committee on Finance and Appropriations, has applauded the Ministry of Housing for delivering significant affordable housing projects across the State in 2025, while urging the Ministry to exceed these achievements in the 2026 fiscal year.

The commendation was made during the 2026 budget defence sessions, led by Hon.

He further disclosed plans to complete and convert the abandoned Block E Complex in the State Government Secretariat into a Revenue House for the State Internal Revenue Service, as well as the construction of the Assembly and appointees’ quarters in Ibara Housing Estate and a 563-unit housing project at Siun.
