NIESV Lagos chairman leads delegation to Adron Homes, seeks strategic collaboration

Nigeria Real Estate Partnership risks derailment as NIESV Lagos visits Adron Homes to explore collaboration. Will vision meet real action in housing delivery?

Nigeria Real Estate Partnership is once again in the spotlight following a high-level meeting between the Lagos Branch of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) and property powerhouse Adron Homes.

Despite an atmosphere of goodwill and shared ambition, the sector remains plagued by structural gaps that threaten to derail even the most promising collaborations.

The visit, led by NIESV Lagos Chairman ESV Tosin Kadiri, to the Adron Homes Head Office was meant to rekindle professional synergy.

At its heart was a call for a strategic partnership to fast-track housing delivery and deepen the integration of professionals into private sector development.

Welcoming the delegation, Adron Group Chairman Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuelking; himself a proud member of the Institute, recounted the origins of Adron Homes. He described the journey as one rooted not in convenience, but in calling.

“Adron Homes was not born out of convenience, but of a calling,” he declared. “In this industry, only the resilient survive. With focus and innovation, we have remained consistent and visionary.”

Aare Emmanuelking highlighted the company’s unique application of labelling theory in estate development, branding each community with cultural or geographic themes.

This, alongside massive investment in infrastructure, has set Adron apart as a forward-thinking developer with an eye on long-term impact.

Yet, even with these innovations, the real estate ecosystem still suffers from a disconnect between institutional professionalism and private sector execution.

NIESV Chairman Kadiri expressed admiration for Adron‘s scale but urged deeper engagement. “We are here to seek collaboration. We believe our members can tap into the vast opportunities Adron Homes has already created,” he said.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the NIESV Cooperative Society proposed a bold step: a dedicated zone within Adron’s estates for professionals to create tailored housing solutions. He called it a chance to turn dreams into reality.

In a powerful gesture of alignment, Aare Emmanuelking embraced the proposals, noting that Adron Homes has enjoyed a longstanding, beneficial relationship with NIESV Lagos.

He praised the current administration’s renewed energy and reaffirmed Adron’s openness to partnering with professionals whose values match the company’s vision.

The delegation included ESV Ayodeji Odeleye, ESV Olaseni Lojede and other NIESV executives, while Adron’s team featured Managing Director Adenike Ajobo, Deputy MD Chitola Roberts, Group Company Secretary Shola Orunmuyiwa and Chief Press Secretary Maureen Echefu, among others.

The meeting ended with mutual pledges of cooperation, but it was clear the real test will come in action, not words. As noted by a senior member of the NIESV delegation, “This visit has opened our eyes. It’s time to match vision with reality.”

With industry trailblazers like Aare Adetola Emmanuelking leading the charge and the NIESV Lagos Branch actively seeking collaboration, the conversation around Nigeria Real Estate Partnership is no longer about potential, but about execution.

Whether this renewed engagement results in structural reform or fades like many before it remains the defining question.

As stakeholders reflected on the engagement, Mr. Niyi Odusi, speaking on behalf of the Board of Trustees, Central Coordinating Committee and Community Management Council of Magodo Phase 2, lauded the initiative and expressed hope for long-term synergy. His voice captured the broader optimism rippling across the sector.

But the hard truth remains: good intentions are not enough.

Without tangible follow-through, Nigeria real estate partnership may once again fall short of transforming the housing landscape.
