The Chairman and CEO of Adron Group, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, KOF, has praised the Oyo State Government for leveraging technology and innovation to transform the real estate sector, describing the state as a land of “history, enterprise, and endless possibilities.”
Delivering a goodwill message titled “The Real Estate Called Oyo State” at the 2025 Oyo State Real Estate Conference, Aare Adetola highlighted the pivotal role of digital infrastructure in enhancing transparency, investor confidence, and efficient housing delivery.
The conference, themed “Real Estate and Economic Development in Oyo State: Strategies for Success”, brought together leading developers, government officials, and investors to discuss sustainable growth strategies.
The event, organised by the Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Housing and Urban Development in partnership with the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), focused on technology-driven reforms, public-private partnerships, and innovation in property development.
In his address, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, emphasised the transformative impact of digital tools such as OYOGIS, the state’s digital land records system, and other smart urban planning initiatives.
“By digitising land records, upgrading infrastructure, and introducing the Oyo State Land Control and Administration Bill, 2023, we are curbing land disputes and promoting secure, sustainable property ownership,” Ogundoyin said, acknowledging developers like Adron Homes and MKH Properties for fostering investor trust.
Aare Adetola Emmanuelking applauded Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration for maintaining a consistent, technology-driven policy framework that attracts serious investors.
“Adron Homes entered Ibadan nearly a decade ago because of Oyo State’s stable policy and tech-enabled governance. Today, these reforms have made real estate development more efficient, transparent, and investor-friendly,” he said.
“It is crucial that policy continuity is maintained to ensure that technological advancements and investment gains are not undermined.”
The conference concluded with a collective resolve among stakeholders to deepen collaboration between public and private sectors, strengthen regulatory transparency, and expand tech-driven solutions that position Oyo State as a model for real estate innovation in Nigeria.
