The Physical Planning Unit of the Oyo State Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development has commended Fendini Group for setting a new standard in estate development, following a high-level delegation inspection visit to the Rayfield Gardens City Estate in Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala GRA, Ibadan.
The team led by the Director of Physical Planning, Dr. Oladiran Ibiyinka Olaide, the delegation undertook an extensive tour of the estate on Wednesday, expressing delight at the scale of development, meticulous layout, and committments to strict adherence to approved building plans and physical planning regulation.
Dr. Oladiran said, “The government will continue to support developers who follow due process. The safety and well-being of residents remain paramount, and we urge all subscribers to continue to build strictly according to approved standards.”
The Chief Executive Officer of Fendini Group, Prince Adelaja Adeoye (Prince Laja Adeoye), who hosted the team, described Rayfield Gardens City as a flagship Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project between Fendini Group and the Oyo State Government, facilitated by the Oyo State Investment Public Private Partnership Agency (OYSIPA).
“This partnership demands collective responsibility from all stakeholders to eliminate any risk to lives or the environment,” Prince Adeoye stressed.
He praised the investor-friendly policies of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration, highlighting the seamless and digitized approval processes introduced by the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development under the leadership of Commissioner Mr. Akin-Funmilayo Williams.
“The digitization of title searches and building approvals has made transactions transparent, fast, and reliable. It is phasing out sharp practices and building unprecedented trust in the real estate sector. Oyo State is now the most attractive destination for genuine investors who want their investments protected,” the CEO noted.
Prince Adeoye also revealed that Fendini Group has created a dedicated, streamlined approval support system for all subscribers to ensure they comply effortlessly with regulatory requirements.
We will continue to partner with all relevant MDA’s of government to ensure that the right things are done in line with the vision of the State on quality and sustainable housing projects, while all subscribers to our various developments are guided to adhere to government policies.
Earlier in November, at the Scale-Up Conference held at Ibadan Business School, Prince Adeoye had called for the consistent use of high-quality materials and strict observance of building codes as non-negotiable pillars for safe and sustainable cities.
