Fifty percent of Edo people are in the diaspora, internally or externally. The internal Diaspora include those in Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, and even those spread across West Africa. But then, we still have those who are far-flung, in places like Europe and America. A lot of them would send money home for their relatives to build <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/really-nice-property-for-sale-in-nigeria\/\">houses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese relatives would send them pictures, but when these people come back, they would meet nothing. So, we are trying to tell them that we have a governor we can trust and who understands business. He is going to give these people the assurance they need to bring the money in. We want to create estates, but it will not be a diaspora estate, because I do not think it is the way to go as it exposes them to all sorts of issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omo said EDPA would set aside sections in the planned estates that would be reserved for those in the diaspora to own, noting, \u201cWe can do 100-units and give them 40. They would either get them through a diaspora bond, or buy directly, through a portal on the agency\u2019s website. There would be flexible packages, which would include mortgages and at the end of the day, they won\u2019t hear stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the new towns being developed by the state, she said, \u201cWe have new towns. There is a new town coming up at Obagie Nevbosa. EDPA is anchoring it. We want to build a hub between Warri and Benin. We want that city in the middle so that we would reduce the pressure in Benin City. After that, we can now start the internal regeneration of the city, which we need to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noting that the agency is working with other ministries in the state to execute the project, she said, \u201cWe are working those in the Ministry of Physical &amp; Urban Development, Edo Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Agency and everyone in the line to make sure that this works. We have published the advertisement to tell them we want to acquire the place. We have started taking the compensation list; we are now doing the survey. After that, we would start the outline design. We are talking to big private developers. We have about three new towns like that, but we have already gone far with Obagie Nevbosa.\u201d  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2017\/10\/edo-plans-new-estates-towns-targets-diaspora-community\/\"> Vanguard <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of reforms in the Edo State housing sector to open up the state to &hellip; <a title=\"Edo plans new estates, towns, targets diaspora community\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/edo-plans-new-estates-towns-targets-diaspora-community\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Edo plans new estates, towns, targets diaspora community<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[519,518,1403,1398,1399,12908,543,617,489,344,684,408,312,84,116,15282,15296],"class_list":["post-6671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-africa","tag-america","tag-buy","tag-developers","tag-development","tag-home","tag-home-buying-guide","tag-house","tag-houses","tag-housing","tag-lagos","tag-mortgage","tag-mortgages","tag-real-estate","tag-real-estate-investment","tag-ross","tag-target"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Edo-Obaseki.png?fit=412%2C250&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7154,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/edo-agency-to-re-certify-estate-residents-begin-rent-recovery\/","url_meta":{"origin":6671,"position":0},"title":"Edo agency to re-certify estate residents, begin rent recovery","author":"Amazing Property","date":"November 20, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Real estate The Edo Development and Property Authority (EDPA) will from ending of this month embark on re-certification and rent recovery exercise of residents in its estates across the state.
