The Managing Director, Resort Savings and Loans, Mr. Abimbola Olayinka, has restated the commitment of the organisation to providing affordable housing for Nigerians, saying this will take priority over many other things in its agenda.
He said this via a statement made available on Friday, adding that steps had been taken by the Primary Mortgage Institution on its housing projects across the country.
Olayinka said the impact of the RSL had spread to parts of the country.
He said, “We are proud to be associated with the housing needs of Nigerians. For instance, the Pearl Garden Estate at Sangotedo in Lekki area of Lagos is within the Lekki Trade Zone, which was recently declared open by the state government.
“The estate stands to benefit from some of the infrastructural developments earmarked for the free trade zone, which include construction of a coastal road and improved ferry system. The estate is also 10 minutes’ drive from the Lagos Business School, which is also known as the Pan African University.”
On the quality of buildings in the estate, he said, “The apartments in our estates and their ambience conform to what you have anywhere in the world. The road network, the buildings and the interior, the security system and the recreational facilities are excellent. It is also good to note that there are worship and health centre in our estates.”
The mnaging director said limited units of the estates were in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Yola, Ogun and Adamawa states.
While urging Nigerians to invest in their tomorrow, he explained that getting the houses was not as difficult as some people were made to believe.
“It is true that it could be expensive, but for those who bank with us, they have certain privileges that a lot of others may not have. But the truth is that the average Nigerian who earns some reasonable salary can still afford some of these houses through mortgages created for them through Resort Saving and Loans Limited,” he said.
