Oyo govt to create layouts for four new GRAs
Oyo State Government has announced its plans to create layouts for four Government Reserve Areas (GRAs) before the end of this year.
Speaking with journalists in Ibadan, the state Commissioner for Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Rahman Abdulraheem, said three of them will be located in Akinyele Local Government Area to take advantage of the Ibadan Inland Dry Port at Akinyele; the construction of Lagos-Ibadan railway track; one would be located at Olodo area; another one at Ido; one at Lagelu and Ona-Ara interjection.
The commissioner said: “The railway coming from Lagos linking the dry port will be the host of the GRAs because we want people to be there. There will be one along Olodo. We are also looking at Oluyole area and Ido as well as the interjection of Lagelu and Ona-Ara local government areas.
“Before the end of the year, there will be chance for interested members of the public to key into the estate projects. In a matter of months from now, everybody that is willing and ready to partake in this government project will get allocation of land.”
The commissioner also warned land grabbers to desist from the act of illegality and urged the general public to bring to the attention of the government if they saw anyone involved in land grabbing.
