By Modupe Gbadeyanka
Subscribers of the Fairmont Hartland Estate, Itele, Off Alagbado, Sango Ota, Ogun State, have been allotted their plots of land by Propertymart Real Estate Investment Limited, a subsidiary of Palton Morgan Holdings.
The prospective landlords commended the company for fulfilling its promise and for providing a means for Nigerians to have access to affordable housing, which they said will go a long way to reduce the huge housing deficit in the country.
Fairmont Hartland Estate, strategically located Off Alagbado, is a premium serviced plot estate in the heart of the new Lagos that gives owners a feel of a fine country living.
Its attraction is mainly its green, eco-friendly environment with houses tucked within well-cultivated gardens, and top-notch infrastructures which include paved roads, electricity, streetlights and security cameras, as well as a well-planned drainage system.
During the presentation of the allocation documents recently, one of the subscribers, Engineer Sylvester Omirona, lauded the company for the impressive Fairmont Hartland Project, saying, “When I looked at the layout and infrastructure of this estate, I got very much interested. I want to commend them for their great customer service. I’ll definitely choose Propertymart again when next I want to do any real estate business.”
Mr Kelvin Ajayi, who heard about the land through a friend, also praised Propertymart for the estate layout, environment and accompanying facilities.
“I subscribed to Fairmont Hilltop Estate, and I loved everything about it. I fell in love with the road infrastructure and the greenery. Also, the security here is good. I even referred them to three of my friends who bought the Fairmont Hilltop plots while a friend also bought plots here at Fairmont Hartland,” he said.
For Mr Smith Habeeb, another satisfied customer, his delight is with the location of the estate and potential returns it will yield on investment.
He said, “I heard about this property from a friend and I decided to buy some plots here as a form of investment. It’s situated in a good location, and I know it will yield me great returns in the future. The allocation process was smooth. I definitely endorse them.”
Further affirming the fitting location, Mrs Adeola Oshinowo, who stood in for her brother-in-law, Mr Adewale Oshinowo, said “I love the atmosphere and the topography of the land.
“It is a serene environment, and secure from the hustle and bustle of Lagos… even in 100 years, this place will still be there. It’s not a swampy land, two to three generations will still be able to make use of the property. I’m passionate about Ogun State, and the location is just a stone throw to Lagos State.”
Mrs Edema, who came with her husband for the physical allocation, was thrilled to receive her plots of land in the estate: “I am already a part of the Propertymart family. One of the salespeople introduced me to the Fairmont Hilltop Estate, which I bought. When the Fairmont Hartland came out, she called me again, and we grabbed the opportunity to purchase another land. Their customer service is wonderful, and they are trustworthy. I even plan to go to Ibeju Lekki to buy some more of their properties there.”
Another subscriber, Mr Adetayo, affirmed Propertymart’s integrity, saying “I tried them out because of their excellent customer service. The allocation process was seamless. They said it, and they kept to their word. I am happy, and I must say it’s a promise fulfilled.”
Speaking about the allocation exercise, the Group Head of Customer Service at Palton Morgan Holdings, Mr Adeyemi Adebambo, said the swift allotment of plots is part of the company’s desire to satisfy its customers without making life difficult for them.
He said, “Customer satisfaction to us is not arbitrary. In the real estate business, people are looking to acquire property with the least amount of stress. That makes us intentional about our relationship with our customers, and we deliver on their expectations in every way.”
Mr Adebambo added that the Fairmont Hartland is a scenic and serene estate with unique life-enriching infrastructures, offering value to buyers.
“We have allocated over 6,000 plots to our subscribers since inception, and they are happy to own properties in this estate because they are sure of getting value for their money. Within the next few years, the value of this estate would have tremendously increased. This is another new Lagos we are developing here,” he said.

A Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, has affirmed the right of Nigerians to film personnel of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on duty.
The judgment was given by Justice H. A. Nganjiwa on Tuesday in a case filed by Mr Maxwell Uwaifo in suit number FHC/WR/CS/87/2025.
The court held that Nigerians have the constitutional right to use any device to record police officers executing their official duties in public.
It was ruled that police officers must wear visible name tags, display their force numbers, and must not harass, intimidate, arrest, or seize devices from citizens documenting their activities.
The court awarded the applicant N5 million in damages for the violation of his fundamental rights and N2 million for the cost of litigation.
Business Post reports that the respondents in the case were the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the NPF, the Police Service Commission (PSC), and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).
The lawyer filed the case in accordance with Sections 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 41 of the Constitution of Nigeria and others.
“This judgement has significant implications for policing standards, civil liberties, and public accountability across Nigeria,” Mr Uwaifo said after the judgement.

The General Manager in charge of Transmission for Lagos Region of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Mr Adeshina Adeonipekun, has stressed the critical role of Lagos in the national grid.
While receiving the chief executive of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), Ms Wola Joseph Condotti, at his office on Monday, he said the Lagos region accounts for about 30 per cent of total power off-take in Nigeria.
He stated that TCN was implementing strategic expansion and project upgrades aimed at enhancing grid stability and operational efficiency in response to rising demand.
Mr Adeonipekun highlighted recent key milestones achieved in the region, including the commissioning of a 100MVA power transformer at the Ijora 132/33kV Transmission Substation, a 300MVA transformer at the Lekki 330/132kV Transmission Substation, and a 125MVA unit at the Agbara 132/33kV Substation, among others.
According to him, these additions have further increased the region’s installed capacity to 5,470MVA on the 132/33kV network and 4,110MVA on the 330/132kV network.
He further said that there were several ongoing rehabilitations at key substations within the region, including Amuwo GIS, Akoka 132/33kV, and Itire 132/33kV Transmission Substations, all geared towards further improving reliability, reducing system constraints, and enhancing the overall efficiency of power delivery.
In her remarks, Ms Condotti expressed appreciation for TCN’s continued partnership and support, underscoring the importance of sustained collaboration between transmission and distribution companies in building a more stable and efficient electricity transmission and supply network.
Both parties explored ways to strengthen collaboration and ensure a more stable and efficient power supply in Lagos, the nation’s commercial hub.

The Governor of Anambra, Mr Chukwuma Soludo, says the years-long sit-at-home is now a thing of the past in the state as it will bring back lost economic viability to the South East state.
The governor spoke on Tuesday during his inauguration for a second term as the leader of the state, noting that security has improved in Anambra.
“The debilitating one-sit-at-home is over, and our schools, markets, businesses, and public servants are back to work. Reports say that ours is now the safest, or at least one of the safest states in Nigeria,” Mr Soludo said.
The second inauguration of the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) witnessed eminent Nigerians, including ex-presidents Mr Goodluck Jonathan and Mr Olusegun Obasanjo, as well as the Vice President, Mr Kashim Shettima, among others.
“I’m sure many of you flew into Anambra yesterday, being Monday. Previously, it was not possible,” he said at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, the state capital.
Primarily associated with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a separatist group advocating for an independent Biafran state, the sit-at-home saw millions of South-East residents remain indoors, shut their businesses, and stay off the roads on Mondays. Initially, it was declared as a weekly protest (especially on Mondays) to demand the release of IPOB leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu, in 2021 by the Federal Government and draw attention to the separatist cause.
The cause had significant socio-economic consequences in the South-East states like Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.
However, Mr Soludo referenced several milestones, including the destruction of criminal camps and the “mass return” of Anambra indigenes during the Yuletide, as evidence of improving security in the state.
“Some 62 criminal camps have been dismantled, and 8 local governments previously under total siege have been liberated,” the governor said.
“Anambra had its best Christmas season in decades last December with a mass return and over 10,000 visitors per day to the Solution City every day until the 10th of January.”
Part of the measures to address insecurity in Anambra was the Homeland Security Law 2025, a measure the governor said contributed to the reduction in criminality.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Mr Soludo as the winner of the November 8, 2025, governorship election in Anambra State. The APGA candidate polled a total of 422,664 votes, defeating his closest rival, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Nicholas Ukachukwu, who scored 99,445 votes, while the candidate of the Young Progressives Party, Mr Paul Chukwuma, came third with 37,753 votes.
