The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Adron Group, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, KOF, has applauded the Oyo State Government for its progressive reforms in the real estate sector, describing the state as a land of “history, enterprise, and endless possibilities.”
Aare Adetola made the commendation while delivering a goodwill message titled “The Real Estate Called Oyo State” at the 2025 Oyo State Real Estate Conference held in Ibadan.
The conference, themed “Real Estate and Economic Development in Oyo State: Strategies for Success,” brought together real estate developers, government officials, and investors to explore innovative strategies for sustainable housing delivery and economic growth.
Organised by the Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Housing and Urban Development in collaboration with the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), the event emphasised the importance of policy stability, public-private partnerships, and digital innovation in driving real estate development.
Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transparency and investor confidence through initiatives such as the Oyo Geographic Information System (OYOGIS), improved urban planning, and ongoing infrastructure development across the state.
Ogundoyin also highlighted key legislative interventions, including the passage of the Oyo State Land Control and Administration Bill, 2023, and the establishment of the Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force, as critical steps in promoting secure and sustainable property ownership. He further commended major players such as Adron Homes and MKH Properties for their contributions to strengthening investor confidence in the Oyo property market.
In his remarks, Aare Adetola praised Governor Seyi Makinde, FNSE, for fostering an enabling environment for real estate investment through consistent land policies and governance structures. He recalled that Adron Homes’ entry into the Ibadan property market nearly a decade ago was driven by the state’s stable policy framework—a decision that has since produced remarkable outcomes.
The Adron boss, however, urged the state government and future administrations to sustain the current policy direction, warning that inconsistency could undermine the gains recorded so far.
The conference concluded with a collective agreement among stakeholders to enhance collaboration between the public and private sectors, deepen regulatory transparency, and strengthen the business climate to make Oyo State a model destination for real estate investment in Nigeria.
