It is hard to make an estimate without having the building plan you know.

You also consider the area

price of materials
cost of workmanship and several other factors

Roofing and labour can never be #400,000, its very very low you're wrong on that. The wood for the
roofing alone will take that #400,000 what about the roofing sheets?

That's for your comment.
At least we're out to give a rough estimate sir.

Even your 4.5m might not complete same structure in some other parts of Nigeria and don't
forget taste also matters
