For instance, Jakande Estate in Abesan should have a Police station, but the whole land have been occupied illegally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Another lawmaker, Omotayo Oduntan noted that most of the estates have become over-populated over the years.But Makinde, stressed that the problem with the estate has to do with lack of lay out plans as evidenced with FESTAC 77 Estate in Amuwo Odofin, which he said,  has become a den of armed robbers.<\/p>\n<p>Other lawmakers including Olawale Olayiwola, Noheem Adams, Saka Solaja, corroborated some of these observations, but Dipo Olorunrinu denied the claim that hoodlums have taken over FESTAC 77 Estate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/house-of-assembly-wades-into-lagos-government-owned-estates-dilapidation\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lagos State House of Assembly Worried by the deplorable state of Lagos owned estates, the State &hellip; <a title=\"House of Assembly wades into Lagos government-owned estates\u2019 dilapidation\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/house-of-assembly-wades-into-lagos-government-owned-estates-dilapidation\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">House of Assembly wades into Lagos government-owned estates\u2019 dilapidation<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7334,"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":[617,489,684,1007,41,15282],"class_list":["post-7333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-house","tag-houses","tag-lagos","tag-owners","tag-property","tag-ross"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lagos-State-House-of-Assembly.jpg?fit=1200%2C799&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11382,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/firm-targets-1500-unit-houses-in-abuja-lagos-others\/","url_meta":{"origin":7333,"position":0},"title":"1500- unit houses in Abuja, Lagos, others","author":"Amazing Property","date":"November 26, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 To mitigate the nation\u2019s housing deficit, a real estate firm, the COPEN group has indicated readiness to deliver over 1500 housing units across different cities within three years.
