Two Federal Infrastructures Are Quietly Reshaping Real Estate on an Axis in Ota — Hundreds of Investors Already Know It

While everyone is watching Lagos and looking to get a piece of it at any stake, a ₦1.3 trillion superhighway, Africa’s largest auditorium, and one developer’s three-estate run is changing the outlook on land investment in Atan, Ota.

There is a stretch of road in Atan, Ota, that most Lagosians have never heard of. It is being paved with federal concrete right now. It forms a big stretch on the Ogun section of the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway which has a ₦1.3 trillion federal approval and is rated as one of Nigeria’s most significant and strategic infrastructure projects, only behind the Lagos to Calabar Coastal highway. The investors who gained first insight of the project and spotted the local opportunity in the real estate sector in this corridor are already sitting on strategically positioned land with enormous returns on investment (ROI).

The Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway runs from Nigeria’s northern states of Sokoto, Kebbi, and Niger, cutting through Atan and Ota in Ogun State, and terminating at Badagry, Lagos. It is a multi-lane, 1,068-kilometre concrete-tech road designed to last for decades and to permanently link Ogun State to Lagos, the north, and the international border through the Sango-Idi-Iroko expressway, which is also under rapid development. 

Drone footages of the ongoing construction, specifically the Kebbi and Atan sections, have been making the rounds among those paying attention to this corridor, revealing fresh concrete drying on a federal road that will, when complete, reset land values and provide multi-industry commercial opportunities along every kilometre of its path.

Five to seven minutes from where that expressway hits Atan, Ota, sits a real estate project drawing investors from home and abroad: Primrose 2 Extension by Hybrid Landtech.

It’s the third and final estate in Hybrid Landtech’s Primrose Residences multi-acre series in Ilobi, off Sokoto Road. It just completed the first round of allocations on April 18, 2026. Hundreds of clients and their representatives at home and in the diaspora have secured their plots, with several acres still available. The infrastructures it sits beside are still being built.

The Infrastructure Story Nobody Is Telling

Nigerians who have been paying attention to real estate long enough know how this plays out. The Lekki–Epe Expressway gets announced. Land on both sides is still cheap, awkward to reach, with not much happening, and easy to dismiss. Then construction begins in earnest and the developers come. Then the price jumps. By the time it makes the property pages, you are reading about a market you can no longer afford to enter.

The Sokoto–Badagry corridor is at that pre-noise stage, and it is not the only highway being built here.

The Sango–Idi Iroko International Expressway is also under active construction. This project is also being built by the Nigerian federal government in partnership with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and Living Faith International. It’s a separate federal road project forming an intersection with the Sokoto-Badagry, with two flyovers nearing completion, both running through the same growth axis. This one feeds directly toward The Ark at Living Faith in Ota and opens a second major access route into Lagos through the former Toll Gate, along the Lagos to Abeokuta expressway. Two federal road projects in the same corridor with the same timeline.

For those who already want quicker Lagos access, not waiting on roads that are still being built, the Agbara route puts Lagos Island and the mainland at 35 minutes to one hour. The Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway is 5 to 7 minutes from the estates. From there, the options open up: Agbara for the faster transit into Ikeja Lagos, the former Toll Gate for quick access to Lagos mainland down to Oshodi along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, and northward for quick access to Oyo, Kwara and everywhere else.

This is not an area asking Lagos for permission to grow. The access is already there. The federal projects are layering on top of it.

The Ark Factor

Thirty minutes out on the Agbara route, something else is happening that changes the economic profile of this entire zone.

The Ark, the auditorium being built by Living Faith International (Winners’ Chapel) in Ota, will seat over 110,000 people when completed later this year. That makes it the largest church auditorium on the African continent. In addition, Living Faith has received federal approval for an airstrip. On any given service day, when this facility is operational, it will pull tens of thousands of people into the Ota corridor from across Nigeria and beyond.

What does a 110,000-seat destination do to the property market within 30 minutes of it? It creates hospitality demand. It pulls commercial development toward access routes. It generates consistent rental appetite from workers, visitors, and businesses that cluster around major footfall destinations. Anyone who has watched what happened to Canaan Land’s surrounding area in Ota, or what large religious and commercial anchors do to property anywhere in the world, already understands the projections here.

The Ark is an economic activation story. The Primrose corridor sits squarely inside its radius.

Three Estates, One Growth Corridor

Hybrid Landtech developed the Primrose Residences series in three phases, all within the Ilobi axis off Sokoto Road. Primrose 1 came first. Primrose 2 followed, positioned even closer to the expressway. Primrose 2 Extension, the latest and final phase, completed the trilogy, offering flat, dry, tableland with no need for sand-filling, along with flexible interest-free payment plans and verified documentation, including Registered Survey, Deed of Assignment, and C of O processable titles.

Each phase was backed by a Supreme Court Judgement and Ogun State Government approval for residential development, a legal clarity that remains rare in the sub-Lagos corridor.

Phase 2 sold out within two months of launch late in 2025. The Extension is following the same trajectory.

They are the result of a convergence of factors that informed investors recognise: active federal roads nearby, a mega-destination facility within 30 minutes, established neighbouring estates from developers like Adron Homes and G-Text Homes confirming the corridor’s credibility, and entry prices starting from ₦4 million per plot, representing pre-infrastructure pricing.

What This Means Going Forward

For Nigerians watching the Atan–Agbara corridor in Ota, Ogun state, the relevant question is not whether this area will appreciate. Given the combination of a federal concrete road, a 110,000-seat auditorium, Nigeria’s largest industrial scheme at Agbara, and proximity to Lagos within 30 minutes via the Agbara route, appreciation is the conservative outcome. Land values in this corridor will not wait for any of those projects to finish before they start moving. They rarely do.

The people who move before the price catches up with the information are not lucky. They just read the same news everyone else had access to and acted on it first.

Plots are still available at Primrose Residences. Call Hybrid Landtech to request pricing, schedule an inspection, or make other enquiries.
