Residents Pledge Stronger Collaboration as New Leaders Emerge for Uptown, Downtown Zones
ADRON Homes has inaugurated new executives of the ADRON Homes Property Owners and Residents Associations (AHPORA) for the Uptown and Downtown zones of Treasure Park & Gardens Phase 2 Extension, in a move aimed at strengthening engagement between the real estate company and residents.
The inauguration provides property owners and residents with a formal platform to communicate their concerns, share ideas and engage with the company through elected representatives. The newly inaugurated executives are expected to monitor estate-related issues, facilitate communication and ensure that matters affecting residents receive appropriate attention.
The ceremony, hosted by ADRON Homes on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at Downtown Estate, Simawa, Ogun State, was attended by traditional and community stakeholders, with HRH Alaiyeluwa Oba Peter Oluwole Ogunbayo (Otete III), Odemo of Isara Remo, serving as the Royal Father of the Day.
For the Uptown Zone, Mrs. Augustina Chuks was inaugurated as Chairman, while Mrs. Ogunba-Ojo Hutawa Aderonke emerged as Secretary-General. Hon. Mrs. Wale Fayemi and Mr. Lateef Eniola were represented at the ceremony by their daughter and wife, respectively.
In the Downtown Zone, Alhaji Akeem Segun Koletowo was inaugurated as Chairman, while Mr. Alex O. Ohanwadi assumed office as Secretary-General.
Speaking at the event, the Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer of Adron Group, Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuel King, KOF, described the inauguration as a significant milestone in the development of the estate, noting that residents had transformed what was once 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.
Sir Aare Adetola explained that while developers provide the vision, infrastructure and framework for an estate, its residents ultimately determine its character, sustainability and reputation.
According to him, property owners and residents are not merely spectators in the development process but active stakeholders whose contributions shape the community.
“You are not spectators. You are the story,” he added.
He charged the newly inaugurated executives to approach their responsibilities with a strong sense of service, reminding them that their primary obligation was to the residents they represent.
He urged them to be leaders who “listen without losing direction, speak without creating unnecessary conflict, and disagree without destroying relationships.”
The Adron Group chairman further stressed that an estate’s reputation, security, orderliness and relationships among residents were valuable assets that directly influenced the worth of individual property investments.
“The success of an estate cannot be manufactured from the developer’s office. There must also be ownership from the people who live here,” he said.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of Adron Homes, Adenike Ajobo, described the challenges encountered by the company in the course of its growth as part of the process of building a stronger and more resilient organisation.
She reaffirmed her confidence in the company’s vision, describing Adron Homes as an unstoppable movement, while urging homeowners, property investors and residents to unite under AHPORA to promote collective development.
“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 stated.
The newly inaugurated executives are expected to serve as a bridge between residents and the company by communicating community needs, following up on estate-related concerns and promoting accountability in matters affecting property owners.
In recognition of residents’ contributions to estate security and maintenance, two homeowners, who requested anonymity, were acknowledged for their support towards improving the community.
The homeowners donated a motorcycle and security equipment to assist estate security personnel with mobility and strengthen patrol operations. They also supported the painting of the estate’s gate post.
Beyond these contributions, the homeowners provided foodstuff and additional security equipment for the estate’s security personnel, underscoring the importance of residents’ participation in maintaining a safe and well-organised neighbourhood.
In his closing remarks, Sir Aare Adetola expressed optimism that the new executives would leave a lasting legacy of responsible leadership, improved security and stronger community relations.
He expressed the hope that when a new set of leaders eventually succeeds them, the outgoing executives would be remembered for making a meaningful difference.
“They left Downtown better than they met it,” he said.
