In a remarkable display of corporate generosity, the Chairman of IAS Unique Homes and Property, Ayobami Adelani, popularly known as Oba Pedepede, on Sunday, rewarded seven of his most outstanding employees with land properties worth over N10 million.
The gifts were presented at Blue Stone Estate, Irebamiloni, in the Wasimi area of Ogun State, as part of an annual tradition aimed at recognizing and compensating exceptional dedication and hard work.
PLATFORM TIMES gathered that the portion of the land given out to the staff members each cost N1.5m .
Adelani, during the award ceremony, emphasised the importance of acknowledging the commitment of his staff, which he described as vital to the continued success of the organization.
“Every year, I make it a point to recognize the hard work of our staff.
“This year, however, I decided to go a step further by rewarding the most outstanding among them in a grand manner,” he stated.
He further highlighted the motivation behind his generous gesture, noting that the high cost of land could be prohibitive for many, making this gift not only a reward but a crucial financial support for his employees.
“Only seven staff members met the criteria for this gift. We do this to help our staff because, realistically, their salaries alone may not suffice to purchase land unless they resort to dishonest means, which we do not encourage,” Adelani added.

Chief Kadri, in his remarks, lauded the dedication of the staff and encouraged them to continue demonstrating commitment to excellence.
He urged them to remain disciplined and make valuable sacrifices, reminding them that hard work and dedication always yield positive outcomes.
“What goes around comes around. Whatever you sow, you shall reap. Do not repay good deeds with evil,” Kadri advised.
