ATCO Homes, a fast-rising real estate company in Lagos, Nigeria, has recently bolstered its industry position. The firm’s robust business activities, market attractiveness, and growing contributions to the Federal Government’s economic development drive were recognized at the Nigerian Business Leadership Awards (NBLA) on Saturday, December 9, 2023, at the Landmark Event Centre, in Lagos.
The NBLA is an annual event organized by Businessday, a newspaper company and a top provider of market intelligence and business news. Businessday, in its NBLA awards, recognizes outstanding business leaders and organisations delivering impressive economic values that enable growth in the country. Bartholomew Egbochie, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ATCO Homes was thus recognized recently as one of the leading business leaders within the Nigerian space as his firm received the Real Estate Brokerage of the Year award for its exceptional value creation and delivery in the outgoing year.
Addressing guests and recipients, Frank Aigbogun, the organizer of the NBLA and publisher of Businessday Newspaper said, “The Nigerian Business Leadership Awards honour private sector leaders who have made significant contributions to the Nigerian economy, shaped the economy through major strides in homegrown innovation, demonstrated visionary capacity and nationalism through their investments, thereby pushing Nigeria’s rise in global competitiveness rankings.”
Commenting on the award recognition, Bartholomew Egbochie noted that, “We are excited to be recognised as one of the top firms delivering values that enable growth in the Nigerian economy. This award underlines our commitment to helping our growing investor-base achieve their aspiration of owning a home in choice areas and building real estate investment portfolios that deliver appreciable returns. This award will galvanise us to do more.”
He further stated that, “Growth prospect for the real estate sector is bright, considering the projected rebound in the economy. Also, as the population of the country continues its upward climb, there will be demand for scale infrastructure spending and investment in providing housing. This prospect serves as a motivation for us. As a business, we will keep partnering with our investors and the government to facilitate the delivery of key growth targets.
