… Laud Him For Top Notch Estate Projects
A Canadian parliament legislative Aide Mr. Akin Oduntan has commended the Anti Corruption Ambassador and realtor, Dr Babatunde Adeyemo, for his level of focus, creativity and innovation as reflected in the top notch Pelican Valley Estate at Laderin and Pelican Brief Estate project at Kobape – both in Ogun State, Southwestern of Nigeria.
… Said he has heard so much about Pelican Valley and submitted that he was so excited to see things for himself,concerning the well executed real estate projects.
Mr Oduntan who spoke at The Podium within the Pelican Valley ,Abeokuta shortly after a guided tour of the estates, said it was rare to see an indigenous real estate firm come up with such projects as obtained in Pelican, that could compete effectively with international standards and creativity.
The Canadian guest who expressed instant interest in the Pelican”s Ecostay Apartments project, visited in company of the Bobawoga of Orile – Itesi Egba, high Chief Wale Olaleye, a renowned industrialist, Mrs, Ronke Daniel and a veteran HR strategist, Mrs Dorcas James.
He said he was particularly happy that the brain behind the Pelican project, Ambassador Adeyemo could achieve such feat in a challenging business environment without having issues with banks, the police and the court, declaring that it is a testimony to his integrity and honour.
said, “Seeing the place, with plots of land in a challenging situation turning to fortune, I would have thought that only the whites could achieve this type of project here but seeing our own person, son of the soil doing this type of project mavels me. I thought we could only see this type of creativity in the foreign land.
” I want to give that to you. That integrity, and the type of challenge people run away from and you are able to make wealth from it, you have been able to bring to the fore that Nigerians are creative, innovative and also face challenges that will bring about result that will be beneficial to others. You have passion for others and humanity, that is why you have come out with things like this to benefit people like us. Once again, I will say, ‘ Thank you.”
Also, a renowned industrialist and international Agricultural consultant, Mrs, Ronke Daniel also noted that she had carried out her independent checks and found out that Realtor Adeyemo, is a young man of integrity and due diligence who is worthy of being consulted and collaborated with on real estate matters and most importantly, his Greenish acres farm Estate.
“I’m happy to be here because since I know Bobawoga, he has been talking about Pelican this and Pelican that. I was so excited. Do you know the reason? I was asking who is doing this type of things here. Who is doing this type of project, it is our indigene. It is rarely that you can see something like this from our people. I’m very happy with Pelican Valley. Upon all the obstacles and stress, he did not relent. He has focus, that is why he achieved success.
“If I see young people doing something like this, I always feel happy and ready to cooperate and collaborate with such person, give him or her some support because if he or she has the support of the elders and from the indigene, he will be excited to do more.
“I have done my own check, I have seen that this is somebody one can work with and somebody you can collaborate with and somebody you can consult with. So, if somebody is doing this thing and he does not have issues with the banks, nor police, then let’s give it to him.
Also speaking, Chief Olaleye who is a property owner at Pelican Brief Estate, described his investment in the estate as one of the greatest things that had happened to him in recent years.
Olaleye, himself, Canada based, commended Adeyemo for the encouragement he received especially guiding him with the building construction, getting government approval and sourcing right raw materials for construction, saying it makes his project to run faster and seamlessly.
“For Pelican to have encouraged someone like me to invest in the estate, from documentation to getting government approval, it was seamless efforts. I so much appreciated it. It makes the project even more faster because when you have guidelines, set of rules and procedures guiding you through a project, you won’t step on people or Government. You can take a look at my building in Pelican Brief today, it’s nothing but a product of God’s guidance and manifestation.
“So, investing in Pelican real estate is a great thing to have happened to me, probably I would not have gone far with that project without his support. I’m glad being part of Pelican Family,” Olaleye said.
Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend
Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined to 15.10 per cent in January 2026, marking a significant drop from 27.61 per cent recorded in January 2025, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.
The report also showed that month-on-month inflation recorded a deflationary trend of –2.88 per cent, representing a 3.42 percentage-point decrease compared to December 2025. Analysts say the development signals easing price pressures across key sectors of the economy.
Food inflation stood at 8.89 per cent year-on-year, down from 29.63 per cent in January 2025. On a month-on-month basis, food prices declined by 6.02 per cent, reflecting lower costs in several staple commodities.
The data suggests a sustained downward trajectory in inflation over the past 12 months, pointing to improving macroeconomic stability.
The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently attributed recent economic adjustments to ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising prices, boosting agricultural output, and strengthening domestic supply chains.
Economic analysts note that while the latest figures indicate progress, sustaining the downward trend will depend on continued policy discipline, exchange rate stability, and improvements in food production and distribution.
The January report provides one of the clearest indications yet that inflationary pressures, which surged in early 2025, may be moderating.

In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience.

Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.
For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.
