New Property Hotspots: Why More Buyers are Choosing Adron Homes
Adron Homes is at it again!
In recent years, a significant shift in where people choose to call home has been quietly reshaping the property market. From bustling cities to serene suburban towns, the narrative of homeownership is being rewritten as more individuals and families seek out new environments that offer a better quality of life, more space, and a stronger sense of community. At the forefront of this transformation is Adron Homes, a real estate company that has not only recognized these emerging trends but has positioned itself as the premier choice for discerning buyers.
The idea of “home” has evolved, especially in the wake of global events that have made people reevaluate their priorities. The shift toward remote work, the desire for more personal space, and a renewed focus on wellness have led to a surge in demand for properties in areas that were once considered off the beaten path. Suburban towns, smaller cities, and even rural locales are experiencing a renaissance, with people flocking to these areas for a variety of reasons:
1. Space and Affordability: As property prices in major cities continue to soar, buyers are increasingly looking for alternatives that offer more bang for their buck. Suburban and rural areas often provide larger homes at a fraction of the cost, allowing families to enjoy more space without compromising on quality.
2. Quality of Life: The hustle and bustle of city life, once a draw for many, is now being traded for the peace and tranquility of quieter neighborhoods. With less traffic, lower crime rates, and a closer connection to nature, these areas offer a slower pace of life that appeals to those looking to escape the stress of urban living.
3. Community and Connection: In these new property hotspots, there is often a stronger sense of community. Neighbors know each other, local businesses thrive, and there’s a shared commitment to preserving the character of the area. This sense of belonging is a significant draw for those looking to put down roots.
4. Remote Work Flexibility: The rise of remote work has untethered many workers from the office, giving them the freedom to live wherever they choose. This newfound flexibility has opened up a world of possibilities, with many opting to live in areas that offer a better work-life balance.
As the property market shifts and new hotspots emerge, one name consistently stands out as the go-to option for buyers: Adron Homes. With a reputation for excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction, Adron Homes is more than just a real estate company; it’s a partner in your journey to finding the perfect home.

He said, “We recognise the transformative power of the arts, including carnivals, in inspiring people and strengthening national unity.

Our investment in the Carnival Calabar & Festival demonstrates our commitment to preserving the nation’s rich cultural heritage through First@Arts.”
“As part of our sponsorship this year, we are introducing the first-ever private 500-seater premium bleacher to further elevate the carnival experience. This exclusive seating is designed to provide exceptional comfort and an unforgettable viewing experience for attendees,” Ijabiyi added.

Yuletide: Ecobank Urges Vigilance, Guarantees Seamless Banking
Ecobank Nigeria, a member of Africa’s leading pan-African banking group, has assured customers of uninterrupted access to banking services throughout the year-end holiday period via its secure and robust digital platforms. The Bank also urged customers to remain vigilant against fraud and scams during the festive season.
Speaking on the development, Victor Yalokwu, Head, Products & Analytics, Consumer & Commercial Banking, Ecobank Nigeria, said the Bank’s digital channels — including the Ecobank Mobile App, Ecobank Business App, USSD *326#, Ecobank Online, OmniPlus, Omnilite, EcobankPay, RapidTransfer, Ecobank Cards, ATMs, PoS terminals, and over 35,000 Ecobank Xpress Point (Agent Banking) locations nationwide — will remain fully available to support customers throughout the yuletide and year-end holiday period.
He noted that customers will continue to enjoy a wide range of services during the period, including local and international funds transfers, bill payments and airtime top-ups, merchant payments, balance inquiries and account statements, as well as cardless cash withdrawals via ATMs.
According to Yalokwu, “Ecobank encourages customers to leverage these digital solutions for safe, fast, and efficient banking, especially during the festive season when convenience and reliability are essential. While physical branch operations may be subject to adjusted working hours in line with public holidays, customers can be assured that Ecobank’s digital platforms are designed to deliver uninterrupted service and enhanced security at all times. Ecobank remains committed to providing innovative financial solutions and exceptional customer service, and we wish all our customers a joyful festive season and a prosperous New Year.”
Yalokwu also cautioned customers to remain vigilant against fraudsters and scammers during the period. “Before you wrap up the year, tighten your security. December brings online sales, travel, and year-end distractions—this is exactly when scammers are most active. From fake festive deals to cloned merchant sites and suspicious messages, staying vigilant helps keep your money safe.”
He advised customers to shop only on trusted websites, never share their PINs, passwords, or one-time passwords (OTPs), avoid banking on public Wi-Fi networks, be cautious of urgent or emotionally charged messages, and regularly review their account activity.

Fidelity Bank Donates Hoses, Water Pumps to Fire Service
Fidelity Bank Plc has donated firefighting and preventive equipment, including hoses and gasoline-powered water pumps, to the Ikoyi Fire Service Station in Lagos, reinforcing efforts to improve emergency response and promote community safety.
The donation was executed under the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP) by the bank’s True Serve team. Through the initiative, Fidelity Bank employees identify critical community needs, raise funds, and receive matching financial support from the bank to implement impact-driven projects.
Speaking on the initiative, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications Division at Fidelity Bank, Dr Meksley Nwagboh, said the intervention reflects the bank’s commitment to public safety, environmental protection, and sustainable community development.
“Community safety is a shared responsibility. Fidelity Bank remains committed to supporting initiatives that protect lives, property, and the environment,” Nwagboh said, adding that preventive measures remain more effective than emergency responses.
He noted that providing the right tools to first responders aligns with the bank’s broader goal of enabling people to live safe, meaningful, and empowered lives.
Lagos State Controller of the Federal Fire Service, Controller of Fire (CF) Funke Adebayo, commended Fidelity Bank for the timely support, particularly as the festive season approaches amid dry weather conditions that heighten fire risks.
She urged residents to remain vigilant and warned parents against allowing children to handle fireworks during celebrations, stressing that careless handling of fire could lead to avoidable disasters.
Adebayo also disclosed that the Fire Service has intensified sensitisation visits to corporate organisations to promote fire safety and discourage unsafe practices.
Also speaking, Area Commander, Onikan Fire Station, Chief Superintendent of Fire (CSF) Oswere Michael, expressed appreciation for the donation, noting that it would strengthen the station’s operational capacity.
He encouraged households, businesses, and community members to prioritise fire safety, describing collective responsibility as critical to preventing fire outbreaks.
Fidelity Bank Plc is a full-fledged commercial deposit money bank serving over 9.1 million customers through its digital platforms, 255 business offices across Nigeria, and its UK subsidiary, FidBank UK Limited.
