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.

The Department of State Services (DSS) has arraigned the former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, and his son, Mr Abudlazizz Malami, on a five-count charge of abetting terrorism financing and illegal possession of firearms.
They were arraigned before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja, where they pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In the charge, the former AGF was accused of knowingly abetting terrorism financing by refusing to prosecute terrorism financiers whose case files were brought to his office as the AGF in the last administration for prosecution.
Recall that the secret police had arrested Mr Malami, shortly after his release from Kuje prison in Abuja more than two weeks ago after Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja granted him and two others bail in the sum of N500 million in another case involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mr Malami and his son are also accused by the DSS of engaging in conduct in preparation to commit act of terrorism by having in their possession and without licence, a Sturm Magnum 17-0101 firearm, 16 Redstar AAA 5’20 live rounds of Cartridges and 27 expended Redstar AAA 5’20 Cartridges.
His arrest in January followed weeks of reports of surveillance by the secret police in front of the prison facility since the time Mr Malami, his wife and son were remanded there over the money laundering charges.
As per reports, Mr Malami had gathered that he would be picked up upon regaining his temporary freedom and so decided to wait out the DSS. However, after his eventual emergence, the operatives took the ex-AGF into detention again.

The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) has initiated an inter-agency partnership with the Centre for Rural Development (CERUD) to establish the Coastal Community First Responder Programme (CCFRP).
The first responder programme is aimed at promoting safe and secure transportation across Lagos waterways.
The initiative was unveiled during a meeting between a LASWA delegation and officials of the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Rural Development at the secretariat in Alausa.
Leading the LASWA team, Mr Olademeji Shittu said the programme is designed to reduce fatalities and material losses on Lagos waterways, particularly in hard-to-reach coastal communities.
According to Mr Shittu, the CCFRP will focus on empowering community volunteers through targeted capacity building for sustainable rural development, while also equipping them with relevant skills that can enhance employability within the maritime sector.
He noted that trained volunteers will serve as community-based first responders, working in close collaboration with LASWA to strengthen search and rescue operations.
Providing the rationale for the programme, Mr Shittu highlighted the recurring cases of marine incidents and fatalities on Lagos waterways, often worsened by delayed emergency response in remote coastal areas.
He explained that residents of these communities are usually the first on the scene during accidents, making it necessary to formalise their role through structured training and partnerships.
He added that the collaboration with CERUD will help create a sustainable framework that aligns community development with safety and emergency response, while fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among coastal residents.
According to a statement, the Coastal Community First Responder Programme is expected to enhance emergency preparedness on Lagos waterways, improve response times during marine incidents, and contribute to safer water transportation across the state.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have suspended their planned protest in the Federal Capital Territory and instructed workers under the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to return to their duties with immediate effect.
The directive followed an overnight engagement involving labour leaders, the Minister of the FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike, and members of the Senate Committee on the FCT.
The meeting, which began late on Monday, stretched into the early hours of Tuesday, culminating in an agreement that led to the unions’ decision to halt the protest action and restore normal activities across FCTA offices.
This comes after Justice Emmanuel Subilim of the National Industrial Court issued an interim order restraining the NLC, TUC, and three others from embarking on any form of industrial action or protest.
Ruling on an ex-parte application filed by the Minister of the FCT and the FCT Administration, Justice Subilim granted an interim order restraining the 1st to 5th respondents and their privies or agents from embarking on strike pending the hearing of the motion on notice, also ordering the 5th-9th defendants who are security agencies to ensure no break down of law and order.
The ex-parte motion, which was filed by the counsel to Mr Wike and the FCTA, Ogwu Onoja, submitted that the Chairman of the FCT council had sent a message of mobilization to members and affiliated unions for a mass protest scheduled for February 3.
This move, he noted, was in violation of the orders of court, adding that after the ruling of the court on January 27, the order of the court was served on the defendants, same day the NLC and TUC issued a statement to all affiliated unions to intensify and sustain the strike.
The statement jointly signed by both unions directed that the striking workers should resume the strike as the unions’ counsel, Mr Femi Falana, has filed an appeal against the interlocutory ruling.
He further pointed out that With the statement, JUAC issued a circular directing all employees to continue the strike.
This position they say is aimed at causing break down of law and order in the Nations capital.
The court subsequently adjourned the case until February 10 for hearing.
