Pelican Valley Estate drives CSR via widows outreach
Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, a real estate company, through its foundation, Oko Opo Foundation, has reinforced its corporate social responsibility drive on Boxing Day as its flagship Pelican Valley Estate in Abeokuta hosted a large-scale outreach providing healthcare, financial assistance and educational support to widows.
In a statement, it was noted that the Oko Opo Widows Foundation, a non-profit organisation which caters for widows, orphans and less privileged members of society, has been lending helping hands to widows in the last three years, filling the void left by the departure of their husbands, and wives, as in the case of widowers.
It stated, “In carrying out this selfless service, the Foundation has established partnerships with well-meaning individuals and organisations, secured donations and grants and provided support to numerous beneficiaries as it focuses its programmes on education, healthcare and economic empowerment.”
The Founder, Dr Babatunde Adeyemo, who also doubles as the Chief Executive Officer of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, described the gathering as a significant milestone in the journey to empower widows, orphans and the less privileged in society.
He noted that it was a time to celebrate not only the foundation’s achievements but also the resilience and determination of its beneficiaries, pledging to remain unrelenting in making a positive impact in the lives of people.
“We celebrate the widows who have found hope again, the orphans who have discovered a sense of belonging, and the less privileged who have been given succour. Philanthropy is borne out of a passion for lifting widows and the less privileged,” he said, adding that it is devoid of any political undertone.
He pledged to build houses for widows and fund free legal service for any widow facing persecution, injustice or being denied her rights in her matrimonial home due to the loss of her husband.
Adeyemo said, “Over the past year, Oko Opo Foundation, a non-governmental and not-for-profit organisation established to rekindle the hope of widows, has worked tirelessly to provide support and resources to those who need it most.
“As I reflect on our journey so far, I am reminded of the passion and commitment that drove me to establish this Foundation. As a journalist and entrepreneur, I have seen firsthand the impact of poverty and inequality on our society. I have witnessed the struggles of widows and orphans, and I have felt the weight of responsibility to make a difference.
“Oko Opo Foundation was born out of this sense of responsibility. Our mission is to rekindle hope in the lives of widows, orphans and the less privileged. We aim to provide them with the support and resources they need to overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. Let me assure you that the Oko Opo Foundation will not relent in its noble efforts to rekindle hope and advocate for the improved welfare of widows, orphans and the less privileged in our society. I, personally, will continue to work tirelessly, using every resource at my disposal, to empower the needy. We also want to seize this medium to appreciate the contributions of donors, partners and volunteers who have made our work possible. As we look to the future, I am excited about the prospects ahead. We will continue to innovate and expand our programmes, seeking new and better ways to serve our beneficiaries.”
According to the statement, the widows had earlier received free medical screening and counselling for non-communicable ailments such as hypertension and blood sugar level, with necessary drugs provided for them courtesy of the Foundation’s medical outreach, as was the case in 2024.
It added, “Among the women that shared their soul-lifting stories yesterday about how Adeyemo brought succour to each of them through the Foundation was Mrs Titilope Adewunmi, widow of the late Ekiti State indigene, Wale Adewunmi, who practised journalism all his life in Ogun State before his demise in the middle of last year.
“Adewunmi narrated that the help was timely, happening just as she was about to head to a burial ground in Abeokuta with tearful eyes for the interment of her late husband when the call that changed her life and that of her first daughter came from the Oko Opo Foundation, informing her that she had been placed on a stipend for six months with free medical service in any hospital in the town at the expense of the Foundation. To cap it all, she said she was also informed that one of her children would be supported to further his/her education up to the university level.”

Our journey has always been about impact, empowerment, and building environments where people can truly thrive.”
Highlighting the company’s philosophy of developing structured environments rather than just selling land, the Chairman emphasised Adron Homes’ focus on sustainable urban planning and community building.

Adron Homes at 14: From Shimawa to Over 60 Livable Communities, Building Cities Beyond Estates
Adron Homes at 14: From Shimawa to Over 60 Livable Communities, Building Cities Beyond Estates
Fourteen years ago, what began as a visionary real estate development effort in Shimawa, Ogun State, has evolved into one of Nigeria’s most recognizable housing success stories. Today, Adron Homes & Properties stands as a major force in structured urban development, with over 60 livable communities and estate dwellings spread across key regions of the country. Its journey reflects a deliberate mission that is not just to sell land, but to build functional cities where Nigerians can live with dignity, security, and a strong sense of community.
At a time when Nigeria faces rapid urbanization and an ever-growing housing deficit, Adron Homes has embraced an approach rooted in planning and affordability. From its earliest developments, the company adopted a city-building model that integrates structured layouts, accessible infrastructure, and community-focused design. Roads, drainage systems, green areas, and designated social spaces are incorporated into estate planning, transforming empty land into organized residential hubs.
The story of Adron’s growth mirrors Nigeria’s evolving urban landscape. Beginning in Shimawa, the company strategically expanded into major growth corridors, including Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Abuja, Nasarawa, Niger, and beyond. Its estates have not only provided shelter but have also influenced the emergence of new residential districts, encouraging organized expansion and helping to reduce the challenges associated with unplanned settlements.
Central to the company’s success is its commitment to affordability. Through flexible payment structures and innovative housing initiatives, Adron Homes has opened the door to homeownership for thousands of Nigerians who previously considered property ownership out of reach. This democratization of housing has empowered families, strengthened communities, and supported economic growth through increased property investment and local business opportunities within estates.
Beyond physical structures, Adron Homes prioritizes community building. Estates are designed as living ecosystems where families interact, children grow in secure environments, and entrepreneurs find opportunities to thrive. The emphasis on social cohesion has helped transform residential spaces into vibrant neighborhoods, reinforcing the idea that housing development should nurture human connection as much as physical infrastructure.
As Nigeria continues to urbanize, Adron Homes’ model demonstrates that real estate development can be both commercially viable and socially impactful. Its projects serve as reference points for emerging residential corridors, attracting further investment and setting standards for organized development across multiple regions.
Celebrating fourteen years of growth and innovation, Adron Homes remains committed to shaping Nigeria’s urban future through sustainable planning, inclusive housing solutions, and community-driven development. From its humble beginnings in Shimawa to a nationwide network of livable communities, the company’s journey stands as a testament to the power of vision, resilience, and a steadfast belief that cities are built not just with structures, but with people at their heart.

14 Years of Democratizing Landownership: How Adron Homes Is Redefining Mass Housing in Nigeria
14 Years of Democratizing Landownership: How Adron Homes Is Redefining Mass Housing in Nigeria
For decades, homeownership in Nigeria remained an elusive dream for millions, restricted by rising rents, unstable housing markets, and mortgage systems beyond the reach of the average citizen. Fourteen years ago, Adron Homes and Properties Limited set out to challenge this reality with a bold and disruptive vision: to make land and homeownership affordable, accessible, and achievable for everyday Nigerians.
Founded on the principle that housing should be a right and not a privilege, Adron Homes has steadily emerged as one of Nigeria’s most influential mass housing developers. At the heart of its success is an affordability-driven model that prioritizes inclusion without compromising quality. Through flexible payment plans, low initial deposits, and extended installment options, the company has broken long-standing financial barriers that once excluded civil servants, young professionals, artisans, traders, and Nigerians in the diaspora from owning property.
Fourteen years on, this vision has translated into tangible impact across over 60 estates nationwide, strategically located in major and emerging growth corridors including Ibeju-Lekki, Lekki–Epe, Badagry, Shimawa, Papalanto, Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Osun, Ekiti, Abuja, Nasarawa, and Niger State. Each estate represents more than infrastructure, it reflects Adron Homes’ commitment to decentralizing development and expanding access to property ownership beyond traditional urban centers.
Through this mass housing initiative, thousands of Nigerians have successfully transitioned from tenants to landlords, many achieving property ownership for the first time. Unlike conventional real estate models that emphasize exclusivity and luxury, Adron Homes has consistently aligned its offerings with the real income realities of the Nigerian population, ensuring that housing solutions remain practical, inclusive, and sustainable.
Beyond affordability, trust has remained a defining pillar of the Adron Homes brand. The company places strong emphasis on secure land titles, transparent documentation, and regulatory compliance, protecting subscribers from land disputes and fraudulent transactions. This focus on integrity has strengthened customer confidence and positioned Adron Homes as a dependable gateway to long-term wealth creation through real estate.
As Adron Homes marks its 14th anniversary, its mass housing journey stands as more than a corporate achievement but a national intervention. By restoring dignity, promoting financial security, and transforming thousands of property ownership dreams into reality, Adron Homes continues to play a vital role in shaping Nigeria’s housing landscape and building a future where more citizens can truly call a place their own.
