About Us

THE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION - IKOTA KOUNTI RESIDENTS AND OWNERS ASSOCIATION

The association was registered with CAC in 2011 as an independent body, to serve and champion the interest of residents without undue control/influence from outsiders, and has been liaising with the developer to push for improved infrastructure, and in some cases, providing these facilities in the Estate.

Frustrated by total darkness on the estate due to inadequacy of the power infrastructure provided by the developer, residents took over management of the power infrastructure in 2012, and contributed money to buy a 2.5 MV transformer to enhance power supply in the Estate.

The association, through elected executives (EXCO) in liason with the developer, has continued to embark on several projects and upgrade of existing infrastructure to cope with the rapid expansion of the estate. Some of the projects in the pipeline includes development of recreation centre, priority electricity line, upgrade of the access road from the express road, boom barrier and CCTV projects etc.

General meeting of the association is held on the last Saturday of every month at the site for the proposed recreation centre. JOIN, AND LET’S MAKE OUR ESTATE A PLACE TO BE PROUD OF.
