and receptive.

estate is worth celebrating.
The estate was commissioned on 17th December, 1982
by the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo during the tenure of Alhaji Lateef
Kayode Jakande as the governor of Lagos state.
In a press conference held at the Secretariat of Abesan Estate Residents’ Association (AERA), on Friday 9th December, 2022, the chairman of the anniversary committee, Pastor G.O Oduwole noted that the 40th anniversary celebrations is aimed at celebrating the legacies of the former governor of Lagos state in whose tenure, about 14 Low and Medium Cost estates were built. “This singular act saved many people from the claws of shylock landlords who were ready to suck tenants dry.” He explained.
