The edifice was built by Mr. Jerry Oluranti, CEO of Complete Care Support Services, USA.
Oba Olugbenle lauded Mr. Oluranti for choosing Ilaro-Yewa as the location for such a remarkable project, describing it as a gesture inspired by love for the community rather than the pursuit of profit.
He expressed optimism that more transformational and legacy projects would soon rise across Yewaland, driven by community-minded investors.
The revered monarch urged the staff and management of Amazon Apartments to be diligent, professional, and committed, noting that such dedication would guarantee the project’s success and profitability in no time.
As Chairman of the Ogun State Council of Obas, Oba Olugbenle also commended Mr. Oluranti and his family for their contributions to the town’s development.
He announced the conferment of a chieftaincy title on the developer, to be formally awarded at a later date, in recognition of his commitment to the progress of Ilaro-Yewa.
In her remarks, Rt. Hon. Bolanle Lateefat Ajayi praised Mr. Oluranti for making such a bold investment during challenging economic times, emphasizing that the project is a clear indication of his large-heartedness and desire to support government efforts in reducing unemployment.
She cautioned employees of Amazon Apartments to be sincere, loyal, and honest, warning against stealing or corner-cutting at their workplace.
“It will be sad to now see some people see their employment as a cash cow,” she remarked, stressing the importance of integrity in employment.
Barr. Abraham Babatunde Ogunsola, Executive Chairman of Yewa South Local Government, who attended with his team including the Vice Chairman, Acting Leader of the Legislative Council, Secretary to the Local Government, HOLGA, Supervisors, and Advisers, also commended Mr. Oluranti’s initiative.
