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.

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.

Empowered Women, Stronger Nation: Building Futures Through Property Ownership
Empowered Women, Stronger Nation: Building Futures Through Property Ownership
As the world commemorates International Women’s Day, attention rightly turns to the extraordinary role women play in shaping families, communities, and national economies. Beyond nurturing homes and leading in boardrooms, women are increasingly emerging as powerful drivers of nation-building through one of the most transformative assets of all, property ownership.
Across Nigeria, women are steadily breaking long-standing barriers in business, governance, technology, education, and entrepreneurship. Their expanding economic influence is uplifting households, strengthening institutions, and reinforcing the nation’s financial foundation. The evidence is clear: when women earn, communities prosper; when women invest, societies advance.
One of the most visible expressions of this progress is in real estate acquisition. Property ownership empowers women with security, stability, and the ability to build generational wealth. A home is more than a structure of concrete and steel, it is a platform for legacy, enterprise, social mobility, and long-term influence.
From young professionals purchasing their first plots of land to seasoned executives expanding diversified investment portfolios, Nigerian women are redefining wealth creation and strategic future planning. Their growing presence in the property market signals a cultural and economic shift toward asset-backed empowerment.
Real estate remains one of the safest and most rewarding investment paths, and women are embracing the opportunity with confidence. Their participation is reshaping urban development patterns, influencing housing demand, and stimulating construction, infrastructure growth, and employment value chains nationwide.
At Adron Homes and Properties, empowering women through property ownership is seen as a direct investment in national progress. Every woman who secures land or a home strengthens family stability, fuels economic growth, and inspires future generations to dream bigger and aim higher.
This International Women’s Day, women are celebrated not only for who they are, but for what they build:
* Builders of families
* Drivers of economic growth
* Investors in the future
* Architects of generational wealth
To honor their impact, Adron Homes is expanding access to ownership through flexible payment plans, inclusive investment opportunities, and customer-friendly support services designed to make property acquisition simple, transparent, and rewarding.
Because when women rise, nations thrive. And when women own property, the future is secured.

The message is clear: when women are empowered, organizations prosper, communities flourish, and nations grow stronger.

From executive management and regional administration to marketing leadership, client experience, and field operations, women continue to play strategic roles in driving the company’s growth and service excellence.
According to the company, creating pathways for women to lead is not just a policy direction but a proven strategy that fuels innovation, strengthens decision-making, and deepens stakeholder trust.
Adron Homes also highlighted its internal capacity-building initiatives designed to equip female professionals with the skills and confidence needed for greater responsibility. Through structured mentorship, leadership exposure, and performance-based advancement systems, the organization continues to raise a new generation of women leaders within the property sector.
Delivering a message to commemorate the day, the Executive Vice Chairman, Olori Aderonke Emmanuelking, emphasized the company’s enduring commitment to inclusive progress:
“The theme ‘Give To Gain’ speaks to a principle we strongly believe in at Adron Homes, empowering women is an investment with lasting returns. When women are supported to lead and succeed, the impact goes beyond the workplace; it transforms families, industries, and society at large. We remain committed to building systems that help women rise and thrive.”
The company noted that its celebration of International Women’s Day reflects a broader mission, developing not only thriving residential communities but also a workplace culture where talent is recognized without bias and leadership opportunities are accessible to all.
As Adron Homes continues its expansion drive, it remains steadfast in fostering an environment where women are encouraged to contribute meaningfully, lead confidently, and grow sustainably.

TERROR RETURNS TO IBADAN AS SUNDAY IGBHOBO UNLEASHES MAYHEM ON REAL ESTATE FIRMS, ALLEGEDLY BOASTS OF OLUBADAN’S BACKING
TERROR RETURNS TO IBADAN AS SUNDAY IGBHOBO UNLEASHES MAYHEM ON REAL ESTATE FIRMS, ALLEGEDLY BOASTS OF OLUBADAN’S BACKING
Barely one month after basking in the euphoria of a presidential pardon and dramatic return from exile, Yoruba Nation firebrand Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has plunged Ibadan into fresh crisis mode, this time unleashing his loyalists on real estate companies across the ancient city in a reign of terror that has left developers trembling.
In a chilling replay of his combative past, Igboho has been spotted storming construction sites with a war convoy of over 15 vehicles, flanked by armed boys who descend on unsuspecting real estate firms like a swarm of locusts, shutting down operations and demanding settlement before companies can breathe. The latest incident, which occurred on Monday, saw Igboho and his gang invade the premises of a prominent real estate development firm, halting work completely and subjecting terrified staff to a torrent of fire and brimstone as workers fled for safety. At the same time, the activist read the riot act, warning them to pay up or pack up.
What has sent shockwaves through Ibadan’s business community is Igboho’s repeated boast that he is operating with the full backing of no less a personality than the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja. Witnesses at the Monday invasion quoted him as brandishing the royal endorsement like a sledgehammer, daring anyone to challenge his authority while claiming that Oba Ladoja is his father and nobody can touch him in Ibadan, leaving many to wonder whether the revered first-class monarch is aware of the manner in which his name is being invoked to intimidate hardworking investors.
The irony is painfully stark because only weeks ago, Igboho was singing a different tune entirely, pleading with the Olubadan, Ooni of Ife, and Olugbon of Orile Igbon to secure his freedom from the presidency, expressing gratitude for their intervention, and promising to be a force for good upon his return. Yet, today he appears to have become the very insecurity he once condemned with his targets shifted from alleged criminal elements to law-abiding real estate developers creating jobs and building communities.
But the real estate sector is not taking this lying down as the company at the centre of Monday’s invasion has fired the first salvo in what promises to be a legal war, engaging the prestigious Afe Babalola law firm to seek urgent redress in court while their petition, which also heads to the Inspector General of Police, Oyo State Governor, National Assembly, and even the President’s office, alleges grave threats to life and demands that Igboho be restrained from further disruptions.
Legal experts confirm that the move signals a no-nonsense approach with the company insisting that business cannot be held hostage by anyone regardless of their political connections or previous notoriety. While some dismiss Igboho’s resurgence as mere grandstanding, others recall his shady antecedents, the thuggery, the terror, the bloody raid on his Ibadan home in 2021 that left three aides dead, and his dramatic flight into exile, making his threats impossible to ignore.
Community leaders and concerned citizens are now calling on Oba Ladoja to publicly disown whatever Igboho is doing in his name because the Olubadan is a respected institution and not a shield for intimidation, with one business owner fuming that if Igboho truly respects the monarch, he should stop dragging his revered stool into this mess.
With petitions mounting and the legal machinery grinding into action, the big question remains whether Sunday Igboho is testing the waters or this is the beginning of another dark chapter in Ibadan’s real estate landscape, and for now developers are watching their backs, workers are looking over their shoulders, and the ancient city holds its breath waiting to see whether the law will catch up with a man who once fled Nigeria under a hail of bullets only to return and allegedly unleash fresh hell on the very people trying to build it.
