Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa has announced significant progress on Citrus Gardens, a flagship housing development designed to expand access to affordable and modern homes in Epe.
Epe Insights reports that the project, launched in partnership with the Lagos State Government under the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has recorded steady advancement since its groundbreaking ceremony in mid-2025.
According to the Chairman, on-site construction activities have intensified in recent months. Foundational works have been completed in key sections, while structural frameworks and supporting infrastructure are now visibly taking shape across the development.
Citrus Gardens is structured as an affordable housing scheme targeted at addressing the growing demand for quality homes in one of Lagos State’s fastest-expanding corridors. The project is expected to enhance living standards and promote organised urban growth.
Beyond housing delivery, the initiative is positioned to stimulate economic development within the axis. Officials noted that construction activities have generated employment opportunities for artisans, engineers, and suppliers, contributing to local economic circulation.
The estate plan includes well-laid road networks, security features, drainage systems, and essential utilities designed to support a sustainable and livable community. Authorities say these amenities are integral to creating a secure and modern residential environment.
Hon. Olowa reiterated his administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability throughout the project cycle. He assured prospective homeowners and investors that strict monitoring mechanisms are in place to guarantee quality control and timely completion.
He added that continuous collaboration with relevant government agencies and private partners remains central to maintaining construction standards and delivery timelines.
Stakeholders within the community have welcomed the visible progress, describing Citrus Gardens as a strategic intervention aligned with the broader housing and urban renewal agenda of Lagos State.
The Chairman reaffirmed that the project reflects a long-term vision for inclusive development, ensuring that genuine residents and investors benefit from structured growth and improved infrastructure within the Epe corridor.
