The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has urged Nigerians to stop blaming the government, but do something for the betterment of the country.

According to him, the official showing of the project is to let everybody that matters in the country to know that whenever there is will, there is a way.
He said, “A lot of good things can happen in this country and if we believe in ourselves, believe in Nigeria that Nigerians can do it, then our deficit of housing will continue to reduce gradually.
“We cannot continue to cry over it. We know that we have a housing deficit in the country, but we need to make do with what we have to get results.
“We need to buy in Nigeria, we need to produce in Nigeria including our housing needs.
“And our project here is a city on its own. It is over 100 thousand square meter and we are trying to showcase what is possible in Nigeria.

“We are always blaming the government, including the media, but what are we all doing individually for our dear country?”
