However, Citadel Views Estate 2.0 consists of 306 units but the first 205 is ready for customers and subscribers.

Speaking during a press briefing ahead of the handover of the 2nd series of the fully solar powered homes, the Managing Director of the company, Dr. Kennedy Okonkwo disclosed that the company has decided to tap into the nature to solve some of the Nigerian problems which include climate change, energy and inflation crises among others by delivering in it’s second fully powered estate.
He said: “The beauty of what we are doing is that climate change is real, carbon in our atmosphere is real and we cannot use our hands to destroy the earth that God has given to us. The same God has also given us sunlight.
According to Okonkwo, the whole essence of Citadel is the solar revolution, it is to ensure that we harness the power of the sun. The reason why we decided to tap into the power of the sun was because, there was a COVID-19, after that we had Ukraine-Russian war, energy crisis, diesel price was 155 per litre before COVID-19 and by the time COVID came, it was now N600 per litre.
“Then, the income of average Nigerian is not increased, the inflation is affecting everything and all the estates has the same complain. We said to ourselves that we need to look inwards and find out how we can solve those problems. So, with all these rising costs and inflation, we thought it wise to execute this project.”
According to him, the total estate consists of 306 units but the first 205 is ready for customers and subscribers.
“We have partnered with reputable brands when it comes to solar inverters because we know that when we partner with a leading European brand, we will have the best quality that Nigerians deserve.
“People say that the sola system does not last, that after one month, it packs up but the company we have partnered with has a five year warranty. Inverter systems are scalable and you get to enjoy more power supply.
This development is no doubt, commendable and recommendable following the failure of successive administrations to solve the power sector problems even with the recent privatisation.
Kennedy Okonkwo since venturing into real estate has changed the face of the industry. He has over the years redefined sustainable residential living, making it accessible to all.
His company as a leading housing development company, is dedicated and committed to provide exquisite homes with exceptional features that stand the test of time is noticeable and appreciated.
