Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited has begun talks with Nigerian medical specialists in diaspora, especially the United States, to attract over $100 million in healthcare investment to Ogun State.
The envisaged project which is expected to sit on 100 hectares of land, when finally berthed, will also redefine healthcare service delivery in the state and country. This is just as the project is touted to mean an end to overseas medical tourism, a phenomenon that’s popular among Nigeria’s privileged class.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, Dr Babatunde Adeyemo
The foreign medical team, which was received in the Pelican’s Ecostay Apartments at Kobape by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, Dr Babatunde Adeyemo, on Wednesday, revealed that they were only looking for ways to give back to their country and its people.
A member of the visiting team and resident in the United States of America, Tolu Badejo, said the need for quality healthcare delivery has not been lost on Nigerians but lamented that the country is not yet there in terms of global standards of quality healthcare service.
He wondered aloud why, in 2025, Nigeria, a country with so much potential in both human and financial capital, does not have a world-class healthcare system run by Nigerians.
Badejo explained that the quest to fill this void informed the team’s journey from the United States to Nigeria, particularly Ogun State, to see the Pelican Valley CEO, expressing confidence that “Nigeria is not short of the resources needed to accomplish this goal.”
He said, “I think it is not lost on anybody that the need for good and quality health care in Nigeria, you know it is not lost on anybody. Everyone knows that Nigeria is way behind when it comes to healthcare as far as the global standards of quality healthcare are concerned. For many years, I’m sure there have been initiatives trying to improve the quality of healthcare in Nigeria, but not much progress has been made because there is still a long way to go.
“Why can’t Nigeria, a quality country with so much potential, people capital, human and financial potential not have a state-of-the art healthcare system that it can command as its own? Not something brought in from somewhere else but one that is built and run by Nigerians. That is where the idea came from, and we believe that Nigeria is not short of the resources needed to accomplish this goal.
“So, that is why we are here to learn, to connect with both government and private visionaries like you to see if there are people like us around here, and we believe there are.
“One point that needs to be highlighted is the fact that a lot of countries are developing their own nations, they are going out extracting resources and developing their own nations. It is high time that Nigerians recognise that if we don’t build Nigeria, nobody is going to come and do it for us. It will take another 100 years, we will still be looking for that person. It is only Nigerians that can develop Nigeria themselves.”
Also speaking, Dr Ehri Badejo, described Nigerian healthcare specialists abroad as group of brilliant people who are more than determined to give back to people, communities and the country as a whole.
She said that American-Indians who are specialists in oncology, cardiology, endocrinology and other specialties are also interested in the project and have strongly signified readiness to contribute in a number of ways towards the realization of the goal.
Ehri said, “Our hope is that we are able to create a system that helps people, an ecosystem where you bring everything you need; the nurses are inbred, the physicians are inbred and the specialists just to come with a whole lot of service. It is a $100 million healthcare project to start off with.
“The other concept is medical tourism. We have a lot of that going on. How about putting an end to that? If you have a specialist, you already have the expertise and you have the level of excellence, why not do it right here? Look at you, for instance, and what you are doing right here at Ecostay Apartments.”
Speaking earlier, Pelican Valley CEO, who said he was more than thrilled by the team’s vision, pledged to harness the political goodwill of Kobape and environs towards getting community, government and diasporan investors’ support, particularly to improve the road infrastructure in the area.
Adeyemo said that the project fits into the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration on health sector, stressing that given the president’s penchant to welcoming any idea bordering on growth and development, the proposal might receive a favourable disposition if it is brought to his attention and that of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Adeyemo said, “I want to assure you that we are going to use our personality to support the project. And as CEO, I will do my best to bring Honourable Abike Dabiri-Erewa into this. She is the chairperson of Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM). She is our sister and I believe she has this flair for any good thing coming from the diaspora. We will take the proposal to the state government. Our governor is a listening governor, possibly, he will grant us an audience on the project and back it up with just the infrastructure needed.”
The visitation of the foreign-based medical consultants was wrapped up with a symbolic planting of N2 million worth of trees at the Pelican’s Ecostay Apartments, a ritual which the Pelican CEO said will continue for the next five months.

Federal High Court Rules in Favour of Adron Homes Over Estate Management Rights
In a legal victory for Adron Homes, the Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has dismissed the suit brought by the Registered Trustees of the City of David Residents Association (CODRA) and five others, Elder Gbadebo Aromolaran, Mr. Adetokunbo Adeshile, Mr. Olaolu Ayinde, Olusegun Aba Yomi Esq, Oluwadamilare Awokoya Esq, against Adron Homes and Properties Limited.
The case, Suit No. FHC/AB/FHR/58/2023, was presided over by Hon. Justice Abiodun J. Adeyemi, who, after an exhaustive review of the claims and evidence presented, found the Applicants’ allegations to be unsubstantiated, speculative, and without merit.
The Applicants had alleged that Adron Homes infringed on their right to personal liberty. However, the court held that they failed to present any credible evidence showing that Adron Homes posed any threat or committed any act constituting a breach of their fundamental human rights.
Hon. Justice Adeyemi noted that there was no record or proof of any invitation, arrest, or action traceable to Adron Homes that could justify such a claim. He concluded that the allegations were merely speculative and unsupported by evidence.
On the claim of proscription and infringement of the Applicants’ right to freedom of association, the court ruled emphatically that Adron Homes has no power to proscribe CODRA or prevent residents from associating. However, in a critical clarification, the court affirmed that while residents are free to associate among themselves, the legal right to own, manage, and make administrative decisions concerning the estate remains vested in Adron Homes, as the rightful developer and manager.
Justice Adeyemi stressed that the court’s decision was guided strictly by evidence and the law, not by conjecture or subjective interpretation. Consequently, the Applicants’ case was dismissed in its entirety.
Despite Adron Homes’ victory in the lawsuit, the organisation’s true victory is in ensuring the well-being and satisfaction of all its subscribers and residents, and they will not relent in guaranteeing this.
This landmark judgement not only vindicates Adron Homes but also reaffirms its position as a law-abiding, customer-focused developer dedicated to delivering value and protecting the interests of its clients.

NIESV Lagos Chairman Leads Delegation to Adron Homes, Seeks Strategic Collaboration
In a significant move toward fostering synergy between key players in the real estate sector, the Chairman of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), Lagos State Branch, ESV Tosin Kadiri, led a high-powered delegation on a courtesy visit to the Chairman of Adron Group, Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuelking KOF. The visit, which took place at the Adron Homes Head Office, demonstrated the growing need for strategic partnerships to accelerate housing delivery and professional integration within Nigeria’s real estate ecosystem.
Welcoming the NIESV delegation, the Group Chairman, Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, a proud member of the Institute, shared an inspiring insight into the journey that birthed Adron Homes. He recalled his early professional experiences in estate management, which shaped his vision to transition into property development, not merely to build houses, but to create cities, communities, and homes that endure.
“Adron Homes was not born out of convenience, but of a calling,” he stated. “The industry is rife with challenges, but if you are truly called and driven by vision, you will stand out. We’ve seen many fall by the wayside, but with determination, resilience, and strategic thinking, we have continued to build and grow.”
He highlighted Adron’s innovative application of the labelling theory in estate development, thematically branding each estate to reflect cultural or geographic inspiration. This, he noted, along with Adron’s heavy investment in infrastructure, has set the company apart as a responsible, visionary, and futuristic developer.
Speaking on behalf of the visiting team, the Chairman of NIESV Lagos Branch, ESV Kadiri Tosin, lauded Adron Homes as a formidable pillar in the Nigerian real estate landscape. He admired the scale and consistency of Adron’s developments and emphasized the need for a more structured relationship between the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), and Adron Homes.
“We are here to seek collaboration. We believe that our members can tap into the vast structures and opportunities that Adron Homes has already created,” he stated. Adding to the discourse, the Chairman of the NIESV Cooperative Society echoed the call for a deeper partnership. He proposed a collaborative housing scheme wherein Adron Homes could allocate a zone within its existing estates for NIESV members to create bespoke properties, aligned with their professional dreams and financial capabilities. According to him, “This collaboration could bring our collective dream into the larger Adron vision.”
In addition, the NIESV Lagos Chairman proposed a strategic partnership where experienced members of the institute, particularly those with expertise in estate and facility management, can be integrated into Adron Homes’ operations to create added value across its estates.
In his response, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking welcomed the proposals with open arms, expressing optimism about the future of a deepened collaboration between both parties.
“We’ve enjoyed a cordial and mutually beneficial relationship with NIESV Lagos Branch in the past,” he said. “This administration brings renewed energy, and we are eager to deepen that relationship in meaningful and strategic ways. We are always open to working with professionals whose values align with our mission and vision.”
Members of the NIESV Lagos Branch delegation took turns to commend the impressive footprint of Adron Homes across the nation. One of the executives remarked, “This visit has been an eye-opener. As practitioners in the industry, we often underestimate the breadth and depth of being a real estate developer. Today, we’ve gained a new perspective, and more importantly, renewed inspiration.”
In attendance at the high-level meeting were several NIESV executives; the Vice-Chairman, ESV Ayodeji Odeleye, the Honorary Secretary, ESV Olaseni Lojede, among others, as well as Adron Group’s management team, including the Managing Director, Adenike Ajobo; the Group Company Secretary, Shola Orunmuyiwa; the Deputy Managing Director, Business Investment, Chitola Roberts; the Chief Press Secretary, Maureen Echefu; and the Personal Assistant to the Chairman, Faruq Salisu, among other company executives.
The meeting ended on a promising note, with both institutions expressing strong commitment to building a collaborative future. The engagement marks a pivotal step toward the professionalization of housing development and delivery, opening doors to mutually rewarding collaborations between developers and estate professionals.
With visionaries like Aare Adetola Emmanuelking at the helm, championing sustainable development and collaboration, the future of Nigeria’s real estate industry continues to look exceptionally bright.
