Speaking on the estate, Ologbese explained that the concept of Diaspora Estate which would be driven by Ondo State indigenes in the Diaspora was aimed at promoting investment opportunities and fostering synergy as well as partnerships between government institutions and private sectors.

Ologbese said that the estate would attract investors both within and outside Nigeria to accelerate growth and increase daily developmental activities in the state.

According to him, the construction of the Estate will have modern shopping malls and a standard park which will be in different phases.

He said the two ministries have set up a Technical Committee to work out modalities on how the vision can be actualized in line with the REDEEMED AGENDA of the present administration of Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
