    Adron Homes Visits Ooni, Unveils Partnership for Olojo Festival

    In alignment with its commitment to promoting Nigeria’s cultural heritage and supporting national development and sustainability, Adron Homes and Properties has recently unveiled sponsorship and partnership with the House of Oduduwa for the 2024 Olojo Festival in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

    This significant collaboration was revealed during a courtesy visit by Adron Homes and Properties management, led by Managing Director Mrs. Adenike Ajobo, to the Ooni of Ife and the progenitor of Yoruba Race, Ooni Adeyeye Babatunde Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II CFR, on September 19, 2024, at his Enuwa palace. For the past six years, Adron Homes and Properties has been a proud sponsor of the Olojo Festival, which marks the new year in Yoruba cosmology. This historic festival attracts visitors from diverse backgrounds who come to celebrate with the Ooni as he dons the sacred Aare crown and offers prayers for the well-being of the Yoruba people, both locally and in the diaspora.

    In a message from Aare Adetola Emmanuel-King, Chairman and CEO of Adron Homes, Mrs. Ajobo emphasized the festival’s importance to the Yoruba community. She stated, “Adron will always support excellence and initiatives that promote Nigeria’s cultural uniqueness and diversity. This year’s theme, ‘Evolving Transformational Domestic Tourism with Community Festivals,’ perfectly encapsulates the essence of cultural heritage as a vital driver of economic progress. The Olojo Festival has evolved into an international showcase of our traditions and the potential of domestic tourism for sustainable development.”

    She continued, “The Olojo Festival is a celebration of unity, resilience, and the rich cultural values of the Yoruba people. At Adron Homes, we view this festival not merely as a cultural event but as a platform for economic empowerment and transformation. Domestic tourism, driven by community festivals like Olojo, can significantly boost local economies, create job opportunities, and attract investments. Our mission aligns seamlessly with our commitment to providing affordable and accessible land and housing solutions across Nigeria and the diaspora.”

    Adron Homes also highlighted that the Ooni’s dedication to promoting local tourism and preserving cultural traditions was a key factor in the company’s continued support. “As we unveil the 2024 Olojo Festival, Adron Group stands firmly behind His Majesty’s vision of utilizing community festivals to drive transformational domestic tourism. We believe in the synergy of culture, tourism, and real estate development as a pathway to a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria. Together, we are committed to enhancing our communities and ensuring that both our land products and our communities continue to thrive in harmony with the values that define us.”

    The real estate market in the Lekki-Epe corridor has officially transitioned into a “Golden Growth Phase,” with the Ogba-Idunnu and Lekki Aviation Town axes emerging as the primary beneficiaries of the proposed Lekki International Airport. As of January 2026, real estate analysts and major developers, including Harmony Gardens and Estate Development Ltd, have confirmed that this sub-market is outperforming traditional investment zones due to its strategic proximity to a suite of mega-infrastructure projects. Analysts project that capital appreciation for properties in these specific zones will reach 35% this year, driven by an “infrastructure-led growth” model where value spikes are triggered by government approvals and visible construction progress. ​Lekki Aviation Town, positioned directly opposite the 3,500-hectare site of the proposed international airport, is currently being marketed as a “buy-and-build” opportunity rather than a speculative venture. Residential plots of 500sqm in the area are now averaging between N37.5 million and N60 million, while 1,000sqm commercial plots are commanding prices as high as N150 million. Development in the sector is accelerating with the construction of a 2.5km internal road network and the ongoing substructure for the “Asake Cottage” units. ​The rapid appreciation is linked to what experts describe as a “multiplier effect” caused by a cluster of catalysts, including the Lekki Deep Sea Port, the Dangote Refinery, and the Lekki Free Trade Zone. Industry experts are comparing the current state of Ibeju-Lekki and Epe to the early development of Lekki Phase 1, predicting that these regions will become the new economic heart of Lagos. This “Shenzhen Effect” has spurred a massive influx of capital, with developers focusing on the Ogba-Idunnu axis to cater to thousands of high-middle-income professionals migrating to work in the nearby industrial hubs. ​While prime districts like Ikoyi and Victoria Island continue to see stable, moderate appreciation of 5% to 10%, the current “Mainland Renaissance” in Epe and Ibeju-Lekki is capturing the bulk of diaspora and early-stage investment capital. Developers note that the Ogba-Idunnu area has specifically emerged as a preferred residential expansion zone, offering a 15-to-25-minute commute to the new airport while remaining insulated from the direct industrial noise of the Free Trade Zone.
