Ogun Property Owners, Residents Urged To Prioritise Security

Property owners and residents of Treasure Park & Gardens Phase 2 Extension, Simawa, Ogun State, have been admonished to prioritise security and team spirit to ensure the effective management and development of the estate.

The chairman and group chief executive officer of Adron Group, Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuel King and the managing director of Adron Homes, Mrs Adenike Ajobo, made the call at the inauguration of new executives of the Adron Homes Property Owners and Residents Associations (AHPORA) for the Uptown and Downtown zones of the estate.

At the event held at Downtown Estate, Simawa, Adetola said the event marked an important stage in the development of the community, which residents had transformed from unoccupied land into a thriving neighbourhood.

“We are not simply inaugurating executives. We are acknowledging that Downtown Estate has reached another stage in its journey,” he said.

He charged the new executives to put residents’ interests first and promote constructive engagement in addressing issues affecting the estate.

In a press statement it issued on Wednesday, the firm explained that Adetola urged the new executives to be leaders who “listen without losing direction, speak without creating unnecessary conflict, and disagree without destroying relationships.

Adetola expressed the hope that the executives would leave a positive legacy for their successors, saying he wanted them to be remembered as leaders who “left Downtown better than they met it.

Ajobo, in her remarks, acknowledged the challenges Adron Homes had faced in the course of its growth, describing them as part of the process of building a stronger organisation.

She called on homeowners, property investors and residents to work together through AHPORA to improve the estate.

“The only thing we are clamouring for, agitating for, and campaigning for is for all of us to come together to grow our estate together through AHPORA,” she said.

The new executives are expected to serve as a link between residents and Adron Homes by communicating residents’ concerns, following up on estate-related issues and promoting accountability in the management of the community.

In the Uptown Zone, Mrs Augustina Chuks was inaugurated as chairman, while Mrs Ogunba-Ojo Hutawa Aderonke became secretary-general. In the Downtown Zone, Alhaji Akeem Segun Koletowo was inaugurated as chairman, with Mr Alex O. Ohanwadi as secretary-general.

The ceremony was attended by the Odemo of Isara Remo, Oba Peter Oluwole Ogunbayo (Otete III), who served as the Royal Father of the Day.

Some homeowners were also recognised for their contributions to the security and maintenance of the estate. They donated a motorcycle and security equipment to support security personnel and strengthen patrols.
