DOLPIN ESTATE RESIDENTS LAMENT INFRASTRUCTURE DECAY, INSECURITY

The name Dolphin high-rise estate create an image of luxury in the mind but as ironic as it sounds, most of the resident sometimes wish they live somewhere else. Although the estate, built by the Lagos state development and property corporation, is located in one of the choicest parts of the state, ikoyi; most of the resident have had cause to regret investing in the property.

Some of the resident, who spoke with our correspondent last week, lamented the absence of government presence in the estate, which they said had almost turned into a ghetto where all manners of illegal structures were springing up.

There are all manners of illegal structure everywhere, people just come from anywhere and put up illegal structure,” a retired top civil servant, who owns a three-bedroom flat in the estate, Mrs. Bolade Smith (not real names) told our correspondent.
