Utomi thrilled as Greenland by Pertinence sets new standards for sustainable communities
Renowned economist, Professor Pat Utomi expressed his enthusiasm while delivering a message on the importance of sustainable living during the launch of Greenland by Pertinence in the Yegunda Zone of Ibeju-Lekki last Saturday.
Addressing a diverse audience of investors, homeowners, and other real estate stakeholders, Prof. Utomi emphasized the significance of incorporating sustainable practices into everyday life, particularly within urban development projects.
“Today, we stand at a critical juncture where our actions as individuals and communities profoundly impact the health of our planet. Projects like Greenland serve as exemplars of how sustainable living can be seamlessly integrated into our built environment,” remarked Utomi
The Greenland project, designed as an eco-friendly hub, is launching at a time when there is a growing awareness among consumers about the environmental impact of real estate development, leading to increased demand for sustainable homes, eco-friendly communities, and green building practices.
Utomi, who not only graced the event but also demonstrated his confidence in the project by purchasing a plot of land within the estate, commended the developers as well as the project’s commitment to shaping a greener and more sustainable urban landscape in Nigeria’s bustling metropolis.
In his words, “Imagination is the very beginning of everything. Once you have a good imagination, you can translate it into all kinds of innovation.
“Here we are in a place soon to be the very centre of the economic hub of Lagos, and it (Greenland) is a place where you can live a serene life right in the middle of it all. It takes imagination to conceptualise this, and it takes effort and creativity to bring it alive.
“I think in a few years when you come to this area, you may not be able to recognise it. With the way this industrial hub is evolving, I think that when you come, you will see an enormous commercial development but then you will see a getaway place in Greenland, and that is what is thrilling about it all.
“I’m very proud that the Pertinence team have been able to do this, and I’m looking forward to being a part of this community someday in the future.”
Utomi went on to project a significant surge in land prices in the Ibeju-Lekki area over the next decade, highlighting the potential for substantial capital appreciation for early investors of the estate.
At the launch, co-founders of Pertinence Group, Dr. Sunday Olorunsheyi and Mr. Wisdom Ezekiel, also delivered inspiring speeches, extolling the virtues of Greenland and highlighting its unparalleled features that promise a healthy and sustainable lifestyle for residents.
The landed property project is expected to be powered only by renewable energy sources, with over 400 trees to be planted across the estate. Despite its nearness to the proposed Lekki International Airport, the project is designed to minimise air and noise pollution to achieve serenity and comfort for residents.
Other dignitaries that graced the occasion were movie producer and actress, Mrs. Moyinoluwa Olutayo, who gave the welcome address as a member of the board of directors, Pertinence Group; as well as highly talented and versatile Nigerian movie actor, producer, and director, Mr. Lanre Afod, who joined in the planting of trees within the estate.
“What is needed now is politics that can turn our anxieties about life and the future into hope,” the 64-year-old told reporters.

Japanese conservative politician Sanae Takaichi on Thursday announced her intention to run for the leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), a contest that could make her the country’s first female prime minister, Kyodo News reported.
Takaichi, a former internal affairs minister and close ally of slain ex-premier Shinzo Abe, revealed her bid during a meeting with former Prime Minister Taro Aso, now the LDP’s supreme adviser.
“What is needed now is politics that can turn our anxieties about life and the future into hope,” the 64-year-old told reporters. She is scheduled to outline her policies at a press conference on Friday.
Takaichi is considered one of the leading contenders in the Oct. 4 party election, alongside Farm Minister Shinjiro Koizumi. A Jiji Press poll of 2,000 respondents showed Koizumi ahead with 23.8% support, followed by Takaichi at 21%.
Other expected candidates include Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, former Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, and former Economic Security Minister Takayuki Kobayashi.
The LDP leadership vote was originally scheduled for 2027, the end of Shigeru Ishiba’s three-year term, but was moved up after Ishiba announced his resignation on Sept. 7 following his coalition’s defeat in July’s upper house election.
While stepping down as party president, Ishiba will remain prime minister until the LDP chooses a new leader – a role that in Japan’s political system is effectively equivalent to the premiership.
The atmosphere in River State has significantly stabilized following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to lift the six-month state of emergency that had been in place.

These potential conflicts could ignite a new wave of political turmoil, threatening to plunge the state back into chaos. Click link to continue reading.
The underlying issues remain unresolved, leaving many apprehensive about the future of governance in River State.
Tinubu, in a statement he signed yesterday, declared that the emergency rule would end at midnight, clearing the way for Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Nma Odu and members of the State House of Assembly led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule to resume duties today.
The president said he saw no reason for the state of emergency to continue a day longer.
A fresh prophecy from Prophet Julius Okonkwo, a cleric and the presiding pastor of Kingdom Seeker Ministries based in the United States, revealed that the storm is not yet over in Rivers State.
“This jubilation should wait; I am not seeing peace at the moment, no peace, no cohesion; everyone is in a mind game, the storm is not over, and there will be another brutal storm. For Fubara, the battle is not over; he’s not happy, and things won’t favour him. The governor would be in his office with folded arms, eating and refreshing, but he wouldn’t have governing power. He has not been forgiven; only time will tell,” said Okonkwo in his weekly message.
