Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, the promoter of Ecostay Apartments, a cutting-edge smart city project in Ogun State, has relocated its weekly management meeting to the construction site to ensure the timely completion of the project. The move is aimed at fast-tracking the construction process and meeting the scheduled commissioning date of September 11, 2024.
Ecostay Apartments, billed as the first eco-friendly residential setting in Ogun State, has already garnered significant interest from diaspora communities, with many comparing its concept to similar projects in Canada and other developed countries.
To achieve the September 11 commissioning date, Pelican Valley is working diligently to complete ongoing works, including interlocks, plastering, casting, drainages, and recreational facilities. All necessary materials, including floor tiles, have been procured and moved to the site to facilitate the construction process.
The commissioning ceremony is expected to be graced by notable dignitaries, including the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, as Special Guest of Honour, former governor Aremo Olusegun Osoba as Father of the Day, and Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairperson of the Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM).
According to Ambassador (Dr) Babatunde Adeyemo, CEO of Pelican Valley, the company is committed to delivering the project on schedule, and the relocation of the management meeting to the site is a testament to this commitment. With the project’s focus on sustainability and luxury living, Ecostay Apartments is poised to set a new standard for residential development in Nigeria.
“We are here to do one of our routine management meetings and we have decided to move it to Pelican Brief, Kobape this week. Normally, we do our management meeting at our corporate headquarters at Laderin Abeokuta but because of the urgency of the work that we want to do in respect to the apartments we want to commission on September 11, 2024.
“First, we have resolved to bring our weekly management meeting to this point so that we will be able to oversee what we are doing. And secondly, we will be able to pass instructions to whoever that deserved to be instructed because we have a lot to do before now and September 11. You can see our interlocks are ongoing, you can see that the bricklayers are working and you can also see those coming in for casting are working to start the casting. We are working on our drainages. That is on course, we started it today. We want to start the plastering of our apartments.
“We are really up to the task to the Glory of God. We have bought all the tiles, interlocks and everything that we need to complete our apartments. They are all here. So, we don’t have the luxury of time and that is why we moved our management meeting to site so that we can see what is going on, do our meeting and proceed with the necessary deliverables that we are meant to deliver.
“I have no doubt in my mind that we are going to meet up with the September 11 commissioning date. We want to also fix our recreational facilities, we are mobilising the welders, we are doing the casting of the floors for recreation. We want everything to be set by September 11 by the Grace of God. This is just a step in the right direction so as to avoid just sitting down in the office. We decided to come to site, do our meeting and swiftly move to construction work,” he said.
Corroborating, the firm’s Director of Operations, Tpl. Olumide Akintomide, said: “The work is ongoing and fast-paced. The success is what we are working towards, that is why we we have our management meeting here. You can see the interlocks are ongoing, we intend having our recreational facilities here. We also have car park here too.
“Before September 11, we are going to have a serene environment here. The drainage will be completed. We will like to lay emphasis that at Pelican Valley, what we do is just quality. The materials we are using are of quality standards. The professional engineers and town planners we are using, all our buildings and layouts have approval of the state government.”
