A notable realtor, Akeem Olayinka-Martins, has praised the contributions of real estate professionals in reshaping housing and property markets across northern Nigeria while commending ongoing development projects in Osun State.
Olayinka-Martins, who explained that licensed realtors serve as intermediaries in property transactions involving buying, selling and renting, highlighted the growing impact of the profession in strengthening the country’s real estate sector.
According to him, realtors oversee the entire property transaction process, including market research, listing management, property inspections, negotiations and documentation, while adhering to professional ethics and industry standards.
“As realtors, we manage the entire transaction process, including market research, listing management, property showings, negotiations and closing documentation while adhering to a strict code of ethics,” he stated.
He explained that responsibilities within the sector include marketing properties, preparing listings, staging homes and creating pricing strategies through market analysis aimed at securing competitive returns for clients.
The real estate expert also commended the administration of Ademola Adeleke, saying its development agenda has significantly improved investor confidence and transformed the state’s investment climate.
Olayinka-Martins specifically praised ongoing infrastructure and urban renewal projects across Osun, describing them as evidence of deliberate efforts to accelerate development.
In a statement made available to journalists, the Executive Chairman of BO&A Engineering described Adeleke as a visionary leader whose policies have altered the development landscape of the state.
According to him, the administration has recorded progress across sectors including transportation, healthcare, education, electrification and public infrastructure.
“This is evident in the various developmental projects across the state, including advanced road networks like dual carriageways, flyovers, bridges and electrification projects in different parts of the state, not limited to the state capital alone,” he said.
The Vice Chairman of Ownership Realty further argued that the government’s urbanisation programmes have positioned Osun as a destination for investment and long-term economic growth.
He noted that the administration’s policies have contributed to stronger investor confidence and improved perceptions about economic stability within the state.
“I could not believe what my eyes were seeing in terms of the physical transformation across the state within a short period of time. It is awesome,” he added.
Olayinka-Martins also credited the administration for improvements in healthcare delivery, rural electrification, education initiatives and utility projects.
He described Adeleke’s leadership approach as people-focused and praised what he called the governor’s patience and ability to maintain public support.
According to him, many of the projects being executed are legacy initiatives that could continue benefiting residents beyond the current administration.
He added that the projects would provide a foundation for future governments to build upon while urging residents to support continuity in governance regardless of political affiliations.
