The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of A. O. Williams Nigeria Limited, Mr. Abeeb Williams Olayinka, has described land banking as one of the most profitable and secure forms of investment, noting that land appreciates in value from the moment it is purchased.
Mr. Williams made this statement on Saturday, January 24, 2026, while speaking with journalists at his residence in Adebayo Gbagura, Abeokuta, Ogun State. He explained that unlike depreciating assets such as vehicles which require constant maintenance land continues to appreciate over time and can be sold at a higher value whenever the owner decides.
According to him, individuals with spare funds they do not intend to use immediately should consider investing in land, as it remains a reliable store of value and a viable long-term wealth-building option.
The real estate expert also used the opportunity to announce a special meeting between A. O. Williams Nigeria Limited and its customers who have purchased lands from the company, particularly those who bought plots at Royal Villa Estate and Richh Homes Estate, located behind Golf Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
He disclosed that the meeting has become necessary due to recent developments involving the Ogun State Government and the company, aimed at improving and securing the future of the lands sold.
Mr. Williams stated that the meeting is scheduled to hold on Friday, February 20, 2026, at the A. O. Williams Nigeria Limited office, located at Oke Yeke, opposite Med-More Pharmacy, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Speaking further on behalf of land sellers’ associations in Ogun State, the CEO advised members of the public to always ensure they purchase land from reputable companies with complete and legally approved documentation. He stressed that such documents should be duly obtained from both the government and the original land-owning families to prevent future disputes.
He warned prospective buyers to be wary of unusually cheap land offers in developed or high-value areas, noting that when land sells for ₦20 million in a particular location, an offer of ₦2 million for similar land in the same area is often a red flag.
According to him, such properties frequently lack proper government approvals or valid legal documentation.
Mr. Williams assured that all lands sold by A. O. Williams Nigeria Limited are fully cleared and supported with authentic and legitimate documents from both the government and the rightful land-owning families, emphasizing that the company prioritizes the long-term peace and security of its customers.
He concluded by wishing the company’s customers, as well as the people of Abeokuta and Ogun State, continued success and prosperity in 2026 and beyond.
