Yekinni Adeojo GRA: Oyo Govt. Hands Over Mandate Letter To Allianz WA

The Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has approved the award of the Yekinni Adeojo Government Residential Area (GRA), to Messers Allianz West Africa (Nigeria) Limited under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme.

The Director General of Oyo State Investment & Public-Private Partnership Agency (OYSIPPA), Mr Tilewa Folami, handed over the MANDATE LETTER OF GRANT to the Managing Director/CEO of Allianz-West Africa Offshore Limited, Engr Adeyinka Owodunni in Ibadan on Tuesday, December 5, 2023.

According to the mandate letter, Allianz West Africa Ltd. will develop the Infrastructural Facilities at the 50-Hectare Yekinni Adeojo GRA, Oluyole, Ibadan using private funds and also manage the GRA, on behalf of future residents and Oyo State government for about 25 years.

This award to Allianz West Africa is premised on the successful performance and timely completion of the Engr Lere Adigun GRA (Basorun, Ibadan) by Allianz West Africa. The Engr Lere Adigun GRA has become a highly sought after residential enclave for the upper middle class in Ibadan.

According to Engr. Owodunni, the Yekinni Adeojo GRA (YAGRA) will be a residential development that is designed as part of a masterplan community to activate a satellite city on the South-East quadrant of the Ibadan Circular Road (ICR), where it intersects the newly completed Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The ICR is currently under construction.

This estate is positioned to allow its residents easy access to multiple cities (Lagos, Ife, Ijebu, etc) through the Ibadan circular road butterfly interchanges on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

He said, “With the ongoing construction of the 110-km Ibadan Circular Road and the completion of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, a massive population influx is expected in Ibadan this decade. An additional 5 Million people is projected to migrate to Ibadan due to these infrastructural developments and the satellite cities that precipitate. The Yekinni Adeojo GRA is a visionary and complimentary last-mile infrastructure that will organically fit into the Oyo State 2030 masterplan”.

The Yekinni Adeojo GRA will have about 300 Fully Serviced Plots for Residential/Commercial/Recreational services.

At full capacity, it will be an estate for about 600 to 800 Families.

Allianz-West Africa will be providing the following Infrastructural facilities and have Developmental Control Responsibilities as part of its PPP Agreement with the Oyo State Government. This in in sync with His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde’s Vision that all future GRAs in Oyo State must have 100% Infrastructure before residency commences
1. Major & Minor Roads with Access Slabs to all Plots
2. Drainages & Stream Channel Conduits
3. Electrical Substations & Reticulation to all Plots
4. Water Plant & Reticulation to Common Areas

6. Beautification Effects – Green Areas & Aesthetic Control
