Distinguished guests, industry colleagues, respected government representatives, partners, and participants,
It is with great pride and heartfelt appreciation that I welcome you all to this inaugural edition of the Kwara Real Estate Conference (KWAREC) 2025 a significant milestone for us all in the real estate and development ecosystem.
This initiative, led by Jibzit Properties Limited in partnership with Kabad Nigeria Limited, and proudly endorsed by the Kwara State Government, is a clear testimony that Kwara is ready to take its place as a thriving hub for real estate growth and innovation.
As Chairman of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), Kwara State Chapter, I am deeply honored by the recognition of our organization as a key stakeholder in this transformational event. Over the years, REDAN Kwara has remained committed to empowering developers, advocating enabling policies, and fostering collaborations that have opened doors of opportunity for many of our members.
Let me proudly affirm that REDAN Kwara is more than just an association we are a family of forward thinkers and change makers. We have walked side-by-side with our members in the journey of growth, offering professional guidance, market insights, and an ever open platform for partnership and progress. Today, we stand tall, not just because of what we have done, but because of what we are willing to do to keep supporting innovation like KWAREC that aligns with our core values and aspirations.
This conference, themed “Aspiring to Elevate,” speaks to our collective ambition to reposition Ilorin and Kwara State as a national beacon of real estate excellence. We are not just discussing buildings and properties; we are building visions, influencing policies, and charting a sustainable future.
To our partners, stakeholders, and potential collaborators I want to emphatically state that REDAN Kwara is open for strategic partnerships. We believe that together, with aligned purpose and mutual respect, we can build a future where real estate becomes a strong economic pillar, empowering our youth, revitalizing our communities, and fostering generational wealth.
As we share ideas, network, and inspire one another today, let us do so with courage and conviction. The future is not something we wait for it is something we create.
Thank you to the convener, Dr. Azeez Olayinka Adigun, and his team for this bold and brilliant initiative. Your vision reflects the kind of leadership our sector needs.
Let us all aspire, let us elevate, and let us leave this conference better informed, more united, and more determined than ever before.
Thank you, and God bless you all.
