Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, a leading real estate company, has unveiled a zero-interest and no-hidden-charge housing and land subscription repayment plan targeted at Nigerians in the diaspora. The new offer was officially announced on Wednesday in Winnipeg, Manitoba, during a real estate conference where the award-winning firm showcased its property investment opportunities to participants from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
According to the company, the initiative was introduced to attract more investors, support capital repatriation, and help bridge Nigeria’s widening housing deficit. Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer of Pelican Valley, Dr Babatunde Adeyemo, explained that the plan was designed to make property ownership more accessible and sustainable for Nigerians abroad, while also promoting long-term wealth creation through real estate.
Adeyemo told the audience that now is the best time for Nigerians in the diaspora to invest in the firm’s projects, even without initial capital. He noted that Pelican Valley was offering flexible zero-interest payment options without hidden charges, alongside exclusive amenities, to make the process seamless for buyers. He also shared a success story of a senior public servant who had earned over N15 million in commissions by referring clients to the company.
He said, “I told her she could use her goodwill to sell our projects. She initially hesitated, but later took the opportunity and became a landowner without paying a dime. Today, she has earned more than N15m and is even planning to buy a house with her commission. This is not theory; I’ve done it myself, and I’ve taught others to do it too. Real estate investment is possible with zero capital if you know the right approach.”
The Pelican Valley boss further emphasised the importance of buyers taking possession once land is purchased. He explained that many real estate firms struggle to get approved layouts from government agencies due to strict requirements such as beacon sheets, surveys, and road designs. He added that Pelican Valley has met all these conditions across its estates, which allows buyers to get allocations within just three days.
Adeyemo warned investors to avoid illegal estates that lack government approval, noting that the Lagos State government had recently declared 176 estates illegal for this reason. He likened the real estate approval process to a university grading system, saying that once a company fails in the early stages, the project could be considered “dead on arrival” because of government acquisition risks.
Highlighting one of the firm’s flagship developments, Adeyemo spoke extensively about Pelican’s Ecostay Apartments in Kobape, Ogun State. He described it as a luxury, eco-friendly residential estate built with sustainable materials and innovative designs. The estate features solar-powered street lights, interlocked roads, armed security, sports facilities, worship centres, a swimming pool, and even a mini-zoo.
He explained that the project was an extension of the Pelican Brief Estate and was created as a model of modern eco-friendly living. According to him, the apartments are strategically located within 20 minutes of Abeokuta’s Central Business District and less than an hour’s drive to Ikeja, Lagos. The estate also sits close to the company’s Greenish Acres Farm, which produces organic food for residents.
“Our Pelican’s Ecostay Apartments is not just another housing project but a statement of intent. It is a carefully planned eco-friendly environment with fully approved layouts, fortified armed security, industrial solar-powered street lights, and access to stable electricity supply. It also comes with leisure facilities like a purpose-built lounge, basketball and tennis courts, as well as a mini-zoo featuring peacocks, camels, and other animals. We want to show that Nigerian estates can match global standards while also promoting sustainability,” Adeyemo said.
The Pelican Valley CEO noted that the project is easily accessible from key urban centres and transportation hubs, including the new train station in Abeokuta and the Alausa Secretariat in Ikeja. He called on Nigerians abroad to take advantage of the new zero-interest plan to secure their investments in real estate while contributing to bridging Nigeria’s housing gap.
