Ogun Housing Corporation relocates offices ahead of headquarters reconstruction

The Ogun State Housing Corporation has announced the temporary relocation of its headquarters from its current office along Ibara GRA Road, Abeokuta, to the old Governor’s Office at Oke-Ilewo, to enable the smooth reconstruction of its existing office complex.

The General Manager of the Corporation, ESV Wale Ojo, disclosed this during the New Year interdenominational prayer session organised by the Corporation, tagged “Board and Management Time-out with Staff”, held at the temporary headquarters in Abeokuta.

Ojo explained that the old Governor’s Office could not accommodate all departments of the Corporation, noting that some units had been temporarily relocated to another government building located beside the Gateway Mortgage Bank.

According to him, the relocation became necessary to ensure that reconstruction activities do not disrupt the Corporation’s operations across the state.

He commended the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration for approving the reconstruction of the Corporation’s headquarters, describing the existing structure as over five decades old and in a dilapidated state.

The General Manager said the planned upgrade into a modern and sophisticated office complex, coupled with the approval for temporary relocation, would guarantee seamless service delivery and set a new benchmark for the housing sector in the state.

He added that the relocation process was already underway, while the removal of old structures within the headquarters premises had commenced to pave the way for the construction of new and befitting office buildings.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Hon. Yemi Adelani, urged staff of the Corporation to remain focused and committed, while allaying concerns over the reconstruction exercise.

Adelani assured staff that management remained committed to their welfare, noting that the reconstruction aligned with the core objectives of the Prince Dapo Abiodun administration, which prioritises the provision of a conducive working environment for workers.

He stressed that the state government recognised the importance of improved working conditions for public servants and would continue to take deliberate steps to achieve this.

The Board Chairman therefore called on staff to reciprocate the gesture by remaining dedicated and delivering quality services in support of Ogun State’s development agenda.
