on

The Lagos State House of Assembly has confirmed Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu as the General Manager of the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), sealing her appointment after months of legislative scrutiny.

Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, presiding over the plenary, on Monday, March 2, declared the confirmation pursuant to Section 92 of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.

Adelabu’s nomination, which had initially been stepped down in January for further consideration, won overwhelming support following a rigorous screening exercise. Lawmakers praised her professional credentials and strategic vision for repositioning LASPA for greater efficiency and improved service delivery. The confirmation was finalised through a voice vote, with the Clerk of the House directed to communicate the resolution to the state government.

In a parallel development, the Assembly unanimously adopted the recommendations of its Committee on Rules and Business regarding a petition over a disputed land at the Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Ikorodu.

The Committee, led by Majority Leader Hon. Noheem Adams, established that the descendants of Segun Eyingbala are the original customary owners of the disputed property, formerly part of LASPOTECH.

As compensation, the House resolved that the State Government should allocate 50 hectares of land in a suitable location within Ikorodu to the family.

Lawmakers commended the Committee’s diligence and endorsed its recommendations as the official resolution of the House.

Empowered Women, Stronger Nation: Building Futures Through Property Ownership

Published

on

As the world commemorates International Women’s Day, attention rightly turns to the extraordinary role women play in shaping families, communities, and national economies. Beyond nurturing homes and leading in boardrooms, women are increasingly emerging as powerful drivers of nation-building through one of the most transformative assets of all, property ownership.

Across Nigeria, women are steadily breaking long-standing barriers in business, governance, technology, education, and entrepreneurship. Their expanding economic influence is uplifting households, strengthening institutions, and reinforcing the nation’s financial foundation. The evidence is clear: when women earn, communities prosper; when women invest, societies advance.

One of the most visible expressions of this progress is in real estate acquisition. Property ownership empowers women with security, stability, and the ability to build generational wealth. A home is more than a structure of concrete and steel; it is a platform for legacy, enterprise, social mobility, and long-term influence.

From young professionals purchasing their first plots of land to seasoned executives expanding diversified investment portfolios, Nigerian women are redefining wealth creation and strategic future planning. Their growing presence in the property market signals a cultural and economic shift toward asset-backed empowerment.

Real estate remains one of the safest and most rewarding investment paths, and women are embracing the opportunity with confidence. Their participation is reshaping urban development patterns, influencing housing demand, and stimulating construction, infrastructure growth, and employment value chains nationwide.

At Adron Homes and Properties, empowering women through property ownership is seen as a direct investment in national progress. Every woman who secures land or a home strengthens family stability, fuels economic growth, and inspires future generations to dream bigger and aim higher.

This International Women’s Day, women are celebrated not only for who they are, but for what they build:

* Builders of families
* Drivers of economic growth
* Investors in the future
* Architects of generational wealth

To honor their impact, Adron Homes is expanding access to ownership through flexible payment plans, inclusive investment opportunities, and customer-friendly support services designed to make property acquisition simple, transparent, and rewarding.

Because when women rise, nations thrive. And when women own property, the future is secured.
