Omoniyi said provision of affordable housing in phases would continue, in order to accommodate more subscribers in the scheme, saying the first phase which was successfully completed with the state-of-the art infrastructural facilities prompted people to key into the second phase, being constructed through Ministry of Housing and Ogun State Housing Corporation.
