The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Adron Group, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, KOF, has commended the Oyo State Government for its bold reforms in the real estate sector, describing the state as a land of “history, enterprise, and endless possibilities.” 

Aare Adetola made the remarks while delivering a goodwill message titled “The Real Estate Called Oyo State” at the 2025 Oyo State Real Estate Conference, held in Ibadan.

The event, themed “Real Estate and Economic Development in Oyo State: Strategies for Success,” brought together top developers, investors, and policymakers to explore strategies for improving housing delivery and driving economic growth across the state.

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 conference underscored the need for policy stability, innovation, and strong public-private partnerships in the property sector.

In his keynote, the 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 digitalisation of land records (OYOGIS), improved urban planning, and key infrastructure upgrades.

He also cited 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 curbing fraudulent land practices and promoting sustainable property ownership. Ogundoyin commended developers like Adron Homes and MKH Properties for helping to boost investor trust in Oyo’s property market.

In his goodwill message, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking lauded the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, FNSE, for maintaining consistent land policies that have continued to attract serious investors to the state.

He noted that Adron Homes ventured into Ibadan nearly a decade ago based on the state’s stable regulatory climate — a decision that, he said, has yielded “remarkable success stories.”

However, he urged the state government and future administrations to ensure policy continuity, warning that inconsistency could slow the impressive progress the sector has achieved so far.

“Sustainability in real estate depends on consistency in governance and transparency in land administration. Oyo State has shown commendable progress, and it’s important that this momentum continues,” he said.

The conference ended with a collective resolve by stakeholders to strengthen collaboration between the government and private developers, promote regulatory transparency, and make Oyo State a model destination for real estate investment in Nigeria.
