A Lagos-based real estate firm, Nedcomoaks Limited, has launched its third fully solar-powered estate, Citadel Oasis, as part of its commitment to promoting sustainable and eco-friendly living.
During the official ground-breaking ceremony, Ichechi Okonkwo, chief executive officer of Victoria Crest Homes and deputy managing director of Nedcomoaks Limited, said the launch of Citadel Oasis represents a significant milestone for the company.
She said the development was a key step towards offering sustainable living solutions in Nigeria, providing families with affordable, eco-friendly housing options.
Okonkwo stressed the importance of solar energy in Nigeria, pointing to the country’s unreliable power supply as a major motivator behind the shift to solar-powered estates.
She added that the developments aim to address power challenges and offer cost-effective, sustainable living alternatives.
“With the erratic power supply in Nigeria, especially during the pandemic when power plants were shut down, leading to higher energy costs, we wanted to provide affordable solutions for families to enjoy energy-efficient homes without hefty utility bills.
“Citadel Oasis, like its predecessors, Citadel Views 1.0 and 2.0, is designed to offer a unique living experience with world-class amenities, including a fully equipped gym, swimming pools, a children’s play area, and well-planned internal roads,” she said.
Okonkwo said the estate is not just a housing project but a community designed for comfort, peace, and excellence. “We are Nigeria’s first fully solar-powered community, and we continue to infuse the same high-quality infrastructure and amenities that have defined our previous developments,” she said.
Okonkwo disclosed the estate offers a range of housing options, from 2-bedroom apartments to 4-bedroom semi-detached duplexes, with flexible payment plans ranging from six to 18 months.
She expressed the company’s optimism to complete the project within 12 months and the prospect of welcoming families into the community.
“This is a significant achievement for us. To see the land transform into a thriving community filled with families is always an incredible feeling,” she said.
