ABEOKUTA:Nigerians in Diaspora Commend Pelican Valley Estates, Invites CEO As Summit Speaker

Nigerians in diaspora have once again commended the management of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited for establishing and maintaining a top-notch standard for its properties at the Pelican Valley Estate, Laderin and Pelican Brief estate, Kobape, extending right hand partnership to the CEO of the Frontline real estate firm.

The commendation came after a 3-man delegation of a Diasporan body, Leadership and Governance, Canada visited the Pelican estates in Abeokuta on Wednesday for an assessment of properties at the estate.

The delegation took advantage of the opportunity to formally invite the Pelican Valley CEO, Dr Babatunde Adeyemo, as a speaker at the forthcoming Toronto edition of the 2024 Canada-Nigeria Business Investment Summit themed: "Promoting Business Partnership With Africa's Biggest Economy" scheduled to hold between October 8 and 12, 2024.

Speaking during the visit, the President, Leadership and Business, Canada, Mr Sam Adewale, commended the Pelican team for keeping to a standard that is attractive to investors from the Diapora.

In his words:“From what I have seen, Pelican Valley set the pace in such a unique way such that the diasporans can rely on them. This is a trusted real estate that diasporans trust.

“One of the sectors of the event in infrastructure which we are inviting Pelican Valley to be part of. Because from what we have seen at Pelican Valley, they have the infrastructure in houses and real estate that are of great quality that diasporans can benefit from,” he affirmed.

On his part, the Vice President of the International body, Mr Kola Esomojumi, described the Pelican Real Estate story as one of skillful dispkay of innovation, integrity and creativity using modern technological and eco-friendly global best practices.

He added that “We thank God we created time to be here today to see in reality what is going on. We had the opportunity to see the presentation that you did a couple of weeks ago. We felt that once we are in Nigeria, we’ll come to visit so as to see what is going on.

“I must confess that the standard here with the road network and apartments is compared to what you see overseas and I’m happy that about 700 diasporans are already subscribing and developing more confidence in what our developers are doing. The price point is not one that will require you to break a bank.”

Similarly, the Director of the group, Mr Blackson Olaseni Bayewumi, said: “We will be hosting the 2024 Toronto edition of the Nigerian-Canadian Business Investment Summit on October 8-12, 2024. We are here to extend the invitation to this beautiful company to be part of it.

“We are here and we’ve seen the properties here (Pelican Brief) and the ones at the Pelican Valley. We can see that the development, infrastructure and materials being used are standard. We want to say we are so impressed with what we can see here and would like to enjoin people that desire to be part of it.”

On his part, the CEO of Pelican Valley, Ambassador Adeyemo assured the delegation and investors that more infrastructural developments would have been completed by September 2024 when the first set of apartments at the Pelican Ecostay Apartments will be launched.

Adeyemo further revealed that he was delighted to host members of the delegation, describing them as "our fathers who came from Canada having seen my presentation online and want to be part of the incredible things we are doing here."

He added that: We have just started. By the time they come back on September 11, 2024, it is going to be a different ball game because we plan to bring the whole of Abeokuta here to commission our first set of apartments at the Pelican Ecostay Apartments.

“I want to assure you that you will never be disappointed in us. We have been in this business for almost 15 years without a court case and it won’t happen in our relationship with you. We will not relent in our passion and vigour for development. You won’t be disappointed.” he said with reassurance.
