Property owners in Oshodi are now reaping the benefits of the effort of the state government in restoring sanity to one of the most crowded areas in the metropolis.

House rent in the neighbourhood is now on the increase after the transformation which followed the demolition of illegal structures and the eradication of street trading on the roads and rail tracks.

The state governor, Babatunde Fashola, had said during a project inspection that the projects embarked upon by the state government will help "put money into the pockets of property owners".

Though, the statement was made at Lekki, it is now a reality in Oshodi because Kasali Abiodun, a property owner on Owoseni Street, attributed the recent increase in rent to the improvement of living condition in the neighbourhood. . .
