History
In early 1960, the Lagos State Government set up Satellite Town to help low income earners own their own houses, with some of the areas allocated to oil workers and private buyers.[3]
Infrastructures
The deplorable state of roads and illegal structures in Satellite Town shows that what was once known to be an estate has overtime turned into a slum.[4] There were reports that in May 2009, the Lagos State government awarded contracts to help stop flooding which is a major problem in that area.[3]
