Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has appealed to real estate firms in the state to help in reducing the cost of rents payable on rented properties in the state.
The governor, represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr Johnson Erijo, made the appeal on Monday at the 13th anniversary/annual convention of Property World Africa Network Marketing Company in Asaba, the state capital.
“I would like to use this medium to appeal to real estate organisations to help in reducing the cost of rents payable on rented properties.
“The current skyrocketing rents are not sustainable, especially for public service workers. I urge you to apply your innovative skills to find ways to make housing more affordable,” he said.
The governor lauded the visionary leadership of the company, stating that it had redefined excellence in the real estate sector.
He said, “As we reflect on PWAN’s journey, we must applaud the visionary leadership that propelled this company from its humble beginnings in 2012 to become a key player in Africa’s real estate sector.
“Over the past 13 years, PWAN has not only expanded its market presence but has also redefined excellence in the real estate sector.
“Its ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver top-notch real estate solutions has earned it the trust of clients and investors nationwide.”
The Global President and immediate-past Group Managing Director of PWAN, Dr. Obioma Onwumere, described the firm as an empowerment industry.
“This is a gathering of entrepreneurs here in Asaba. PWAN group is not just only in the real estate business but it’s an empowerment industry.
“The mandate of the PWAN group is that each affiliate will empower 10 and that 10 will empower another 10, which will continue in that circle.
“Together, PWAN will change the face of empowerment in Nigeria,” he said.
In his remarks shortly after his appointment, the Acting Managing Director of PWAN group, Prof Julius Oyedemi, pledged to uphold the vision of the company.
