Meritabode Nigeria Limited, a prominent property development company based in Lagos, recently celebrated its 13th anniversary, marking over a decade of significant contributions to Nigeria’s housing sector. The milestone was commemorated last month with a series of events reflecting on the company’s growth trajectory and its ongoing commitment to providing quality and affordable housing solutions.
Founded in 2012, Meritabode has since expanded its footprint through proprietary developments across key locations, including Arepo, Simawa, Aseese, Mowe, Ibeju Lekki, Epe and more. The company’s flagship projects, such as the Emerald Garden City series and Sapphire Courts, have become synonymous with affordable luxury and community development.
Reflecting on the journey, Managing Director Oludotun Oseni stated, “Over the past 13 years, our vision has remained clear—to provide affordable housing solutions to Nigerians without compromising on quality. It’s about making dreams come true.”
“As we step into the next decade, our vision remains ambitious yet clear—to make homeownership more accessible to Nigerians while setting new benchmarks in quality and sustainability. We aim to expand our footprint across key urban and emerging areas, introduce more flexible payment plans, and integrate smart housing solutions that cater to the evolving needs of homeowners and investors. Beyond just real estate, we are committed to creating communities where people can live, work, and thrive.” He stated
General Manager Mrs. Ofure Oseni emphasized the company’s focus on community building: “Our focus is not just on selling houses but on fostering communities where families can thrive and grow. Many of our clients are residents of the US and UK and have been exposed to a certain level of living experiences; our goal is to replicate the quality of living experienced in these countries here in Nigeria.” Oseni Explained.
“To achieve this vision, we are strengthening our operational framework to ensure that every estate we develop aligns with global best practices. We are adopting innovative construction techniques, forming strategic partnerships with financial institutions to ease access to home financing, and enhancing our customer engagement processes to provide seamless experiences from purchase to property handover. Our commitment to transparency and quality will remain at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every Nigerian who dreams of owning a home can find a trusted partner in Meritabode”. She stated.
Head of Operations Mrs. Roseline Duruaku highlighted Meritabode’s dedication to transparency and accountability: “At the core of Meritabode’s success lies an unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability. In an industry where trust is paramount, we have consistently delivered on our promises. From the initial stages of land acquisition to the final stages of project completion, transparency remains non-negotiable. Our clients deserve nothing less.”
Sales Manager Victor Igbinoba shed light on the value investors can gain from choosing Meritabode: “Our estates are not just about providing homes but offering lucrative investment opportunities. Over the past decade, our initial investors have enjoyed over 420% returns on investment. Our commitment to quality ensures that every investment with us is a step towards a secure financial future.”
Regional Business Development Managers Fehintola Tiamiyu and Bankole Ipadeola also expressed their enthusiasm for the company’s future endeavors. Tiamiyu noted, “As we look ahead, Meritabode remains dedicated to expanding our reach and enhancing the quality of life for Nigerians through innovative housing solutions.” Ipadeola added, “Our ongoing projects in emerging areas like Epe and Ibeju Lekki are testaments to our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our clients.”
Meritabode’s recent initiative will include the launch of Emerald Haven along the Lekki Epe Expressway, a community envisioned to promote mental and physical well-being among residents. The estate will feature amenities such as a rejuvenation center, green areas, and health facilities, reflecting the company’s holistic approach to community development.
As Meritabode celebrates this significant milestone, it reaffirms its dedication to bridging Nigeria’s housing deficit by delivering quality, affordable, and sustainable housing solutions across the nation.
