A leading real estate firm, Orbit Africa, has launched an initiative aimed at making homeownership more accessible through its smart city project in Kwara State. At a land allocation ceremony in Oke-Oyi, Ilorin East Local Government Area, the company handed over plots to investors and landowners, offering them Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) and Survey Plans for their properties in the newly developed Kigali Estate.
Speaking at the event, Co-founder of Orbit Africa Properties, Mr. Wisdom Okoko, emphasized that the estate aligns with the Kwara State Government’s Smart City agenda by providing essential infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water supply, fencing, and security.
“We are not just selling land; we are creating a community with basic amenities that enhance property value,” Okoko stated. “Currently, over 100 clients have subscribed to this project, and today’s allocation is the first phase of delivering on our promise.”
Highlighting the affordability of the estate, Okoko revealed that Orbit Africa has introduced flexible payment options to encourage more Nigerians, including students, youth corps members, and civil servants, to invest in real estate.
“As long as you can afford ₦10,000, you can start your journey to property ownership with us. We want to demystify land acquisition and make homeownership possible for everyone,” he said.
He urged prospective investors to patronize credible real estate firms to avoid falling victim to fraudulent transactions.
“Buying land should not be limited to traditional village acquisitions. When you invest in estates with trusted companies like Orbit Africa, the added infrastructure naturally increases the value of your property over time,” he added.
Also speaking at the event, the Baale of Oke-Oyi, Alhaji Saliu Odedeji, applauded Orbit Africa for bringing structured development to the community.
“Oke-Oyi has always been a peaceful place where people from different backgrounds coexist. We welcome investors and new landowners with open arms and assure them of a secure environment,” he said.
The initiative is expected to attract more investors to Kwara State, further boosting urban development and housing accessibility.
