It was a day filled with joy, hope, and celebration. The usually quiet Ajayi Apata New Town in Sangotedo, Lagos, came alive with laughter, music, and heartfelt stories as PWAN Stars handed over The Edifice Apartments, a premium 12-unit residential development, to its new homeowners on Friday, December 13, 2024.
From the moment guests walked into the beautifully decorated premises, there was an air of excitement. The rhythmic beats of music filled the air, setting the perfect backdrop for a day that would be etched in many hearts forever.
A vision realised through grit and determination
The journey of The Edifice Apartments was anything but smooth, as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Bamidele Adewole shared in an emotional address. “When we began, we faced so many challenges, from securing the land to finding funds. Banks turned us down, but we refused to give up,” he recounted.
Their breakthrough came when they took a bold step: building a fully furnished showroom even when funds were tight. “It was a risk, but we believed in our vision. We needed people to see the future we were creating, and that decision changed everything,” he said with pride.
His passion and dedication shone through, earning nods of agreement from attendees who were visibly moved by the story of perseverance and triumph.
The moment of truth
The highlight of the day came when homeowners were called one by one to receive their keys. It wasn’t just a handover, it was a moment of validation, proof that dreams do come true. It was a time to burst into songs of joy.
One proud new homeowner, still overwhelmed with emotion, shared:
“I never thought owning a home in Lagos would be possible. I had my doubts at first, but PWAN Stars proved me wrong. Today, I hold my keys, and I am beyond grateful.”
Another homeowner recalled how a casual visit to the company’s showroom turned into a life-changing decision to invest.
“Meeting Mr. Adewole was like destiny. His sincerity and openness made me believe this was possible.”

A third homeowner shared her journey from being a curious observer to a proud property owner:
“I had been following PWAN Stars online for some time but wasn’t sure what to expect. One day, I decided to attend one of their promotional events. Meeting Mr. Adewole himself, though unknowingly at first, left a lasting impression due to his humility and accessibility. At that time, I was already tired of paying rent and looking for a lasting solution. Today, I’m proud to say that trusting PWAN Stars was one of the best decisions I ever made.”
Celebration in full swing
The event wasn’t all formalities. It was a full-blown celebration with music, games, and fun competitions that kept the crowd entertained. Laughter echoed as guests participated in games and exciting exchanges, it was also a moment to network with others.
Words of gratitude and hope
In his address at the epoch-making ceremony, Chairman Dr. Afam Michael Okonkwo spoke passionately about the company’s mission. “This is more than just real estate; it’s about building lives and creating lasting memories,” he said.
Adewole couldn’t hide his joy as he addressed the crowd one last time: “We’re beyond thrilled to see our vision of providing affordable luxury living become a reality. Congratulations to our latest homeowners! May your new homes be filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.”
As the sun set over The Edifice Apartments, it was clear that something special had happened. Dreams were no longer distant hopes, they had become tangible, life-changing realities. And for everyone present, it was a reminder that resilience, vision, and faith could build not just homes, but futures.
