Pelican’s Ecostay Apartments, the flagship real estate project of Pelican Valley Nigeria LTD, has penetrated the foreign property market as diaspora investors confidence grew the more with the delivery of eco-friendly living homes to United Kingdom – based subscribers.
The Pelican Valley Nigeria Ltd Chief Executive Officer(CEO), Ambassador (Dr) Babatunde Adeyemo, who leveraged the Avenue Impact 10th anniversary celebration held in London on Saturday, July 5, to present house keys and property documents to one of the subscribers, also pitched lucrative real estate investment opportunities back home to other Nigerians living in UK and rest of the world.
Adeyemo, a multiple award-winning real estate entrepreneur, equally made the UK event as part of Pelican Valley’s broader strategy to tap into the diaspora wealth as well as increasing the Nigerian national foreign exchange remittance, as the firm’s proven integrity and diligence resonated with Nigerians in the diaspora.
The colourful AVI anniversary where a Pelican’s Ecostay Apartments subscriber, Mrs Dolapo Olowe received both symbolic and main keys to her apartment, had in attendance the Chairperson of Nigeria in Diaspora Commission(NiDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri – Erewa, who was represented by

Rev. Busola Ogunlowo, President of Nigeria in Diaspora Organisation(NiDO) UK South Chapter, Pastor Zacchaeus, and the CEO, Avenue Impact, Uk, Mr. Funsho Akinwunmi, among other dignitaries.
Recall that in 2024, he Dr. Adeyemo featured at Avenue Impact’s Business Networking and Winter Ball where he showcased Pelican Valley’s exquisite range of products.
Adeyemo’s efforts with the diasporan tour have so far yielded investment from over 800 Nigerians in the diaspora with Avenue Impact members alone acquiring 48 plots of land and two houses within one and half years.
Elated Mrs Dolapo Olowe, a single mother who was also made a brand ambassador of Pelican Valley, personally received her investment documents and property keys directly from the CEO Adeyemo and dignitaries, describing him as a “man of integrity and one who proved to be a man of his word.”
Mrs Olowe revealed that she met Adeyemo through AVI programme, stressing that the realtor’s integrity motivated her to invest in the Pelican’s Ecostay Apartments.
•Mrs. Olowe sharing her impactful experience.
She advised Nigerians living and working in the UK to take the bold step and invest in Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited projects, assuring that they will thank her later.
She said, “I have a perfect blend of Avenue impact and Pelican Valley because I met Dr Babatunde Adeyemo through Mr Funsho when I joined Avenue impact. l joined Avenue impact as a single mum when life was a struggle, when life was hard and after Avenue impact, I was fortunate to get a job with an airline company and within the shot period that I did that job, I was able to make this investment in Pelican Valley of which I’m collecting my documents today.
“I just want to encourage everyone of us to give it a shot, I have never met Babatunde Adeyemo before, this is my first time of meeting in person in UK . I wasn’t even there during the time of presentation of his real estate business(during Avenue impact event last year) but instantly I was able to see his integrity, my parents went for a site inspection on my behalf and I saw that he is a man of his word. Lo, and behold, he proved to be man of his word. If I can do it, you all can do it too.”
