In Otunba Odeyeyiwa’s words, “It would be recalled that on Friday, 26th January, 2024, we won this special award for the first time after having come second for three consecutive years. As a visionary organisation, after clinching the 2023 edition, we decided not to rest on our laurels as we perceived the Award as a great positive challenge and motivation for better performance.”
He added that this corporate mindset has continued to stimulate Repton Group to persistently multiply its collective efforts and remodel its corporate strategy for superlative performance. “We are therefore glad about the eventual accomplishment of our corporate target of retaining this reputable award,” the MD/CEO said.
Otunba Odeyeyiwa also expressed special appreciation to all co-distributors for their spirit of business camaraderie and for spurring his business Group to greater performance through healthy competition. “We are all joint-winners of this coveted Award,” the MD/CEO said.
In her own remarks, Yeye Otunba Odeyeyiwa Adesola Mutiat, wife of Otunba Odeyeyiwa and Director of Repton Group, said the Group has been able to make it double by clinching the two awards in two days as a result of sustenance of operational efficiency, effective teamwork and persistent determination. She added that the ability of Repton Group to retain the Dangote Cement award has further re-affirmed its towering leadership and competitive edge in Nigeria and the sub-Saharan Africa as a notable Distributor of different brands of cement.
Mr Goke Ilesanmi, CEO, Gokmar Communication Consulting while congratulating the Group on the double feats, attributed the latest achievements to exceptional leadership acumen of Otunba and Yeye Otunba Odeyeyiwa. In his words, “Everything rises and falls on leadership. So, Repton Group’s ability to clinch both the 2024 National Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria Award and City People Award of Excellence in the Building Material Sector is as a result of corporate leadership effectiveness of both Otunba and Yeye Otunba Odeyeyiwa as well as vibrancy of teamwork, clarity of corporate vision and potency of operational strategy.
“Otunba Oyeyeyiwa, for instance, is very encyclopedic when it comes to management, so also is his wife, the Director. Otunba is not resting on his laurels as he is currently undergoing a Doctorate of Business Administration Programme at the California Intercontinental University, USA, despite holding an MBA Degree from the Business School of the Netherlands and another MBA degree in General Management from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, among many other management qualifications.”

TO APPLY FOR LAND USE CHARGE EXEMPTION AS A PENSIONER LIVING IN LAGOS STATE*
As a pensioner in Lagos State, you can apply for exemption from the Land Use Charge (LUC) by following the procedure outlined below.
Under the Lagos State Land Use Charge Law, owner-occupiers who are pensioners (either under the public or private sector) are eligible for exemption.
The steps to take are below:
1. Write an application letter with the following supporting documents:
a. A letter of retirement or proof of being a pensioner
b. A valid means of identification
c. A Utility Bill (e.g., electricity or water bill) showing proof of residence.
d. A copy of the Title Document of the property (e.g., Certificate of Occupancy, Deed of Assignment, or Registered Conveyance).
e. A Sworn Affidavit confirming that the property is owner-occupied and not used for commercial purposes.
2. Submit the Application
Submit the application letter and supporting documents to the Land Use Charge Assessment Office at the Lagos State Ministry of Finance or any LUC office near you.
Ensure you collect an acknowledgment copy of the letter after submission for ease of follow-up.
3. Verification and Approval
The Lagos State Government will review and verify your application.
If successful, you will receive a response that exempts you from paying the Land Use Charge.
Please Note:
The exemption only applies to pensioners who personally reside in the property. If the property is rented out or used for commercial purposes, the exemption will not apply.
The government conducts periodic reviews to confirm continued eligibility for the exemption. If the property has changed status after the exemption has been granted, the exemption can be revoked.
*If you need further assistance, you can visit the Lagos State Land Use Charge Office* .
