Leading Nigerian real estate firm, Brit Properties, marked its 15th anniversary with the successful hosting of the Brit Mini-Marathon, the highlight of a month-long series of community-focused events. Held in Ajah, Lagos, the marathon drew nearly 1,000 participants and celebrated health, wellness, and social unity.
Winners in the male and female categories each received ₦1 million in prize money, while first and second runners-up were awarded ₦500,000 and ₦250,000 respectively.
Dignitaries present at the event included Hon. John Campus, Executive Chairman of Eti-Osa East Local Government Council; HRM Oba Abdulateef Kolawole Lawal-Olumegbon, the Olumegbon of Ajah and Okun-Ajah; Baale Okeiranla, Chief Olufemi Alaba-Ode; and Group Managing Director of Brit Holdings, Dr. Bright Chimezie.
In his address, the Olumegbon praised Brit Properties for using the platform to promote youth engagement and foster peace. “This initiative is a step toward building a stronger, healthier society. I appreciate Brit Properties for thinking beyond business to invest in the wellbeing of our people,” he said.
Dr. Chimezie highlighted the company’s focus on Corporate Social Responsibility, saying the anniversary events reflect Brit Properties’ mission to give back meaningfully. “Our 15th anniversary is not just a milestone for us; it’s an opportunity to impact lives positively,” he stated. He also announced plans to expand the mini-marathon and outreach initiatives in 2026.
As part of the celebrations, Brit Properties partnered with the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) to clean up the Ajah Under Bridge area, planted 15 symbolic trees, and organized a wide-ranging Community Outreach. The outreach included distribution of food to nearly 2,000 residents, donation of 1,000 school bags to children, free medical care, and driver safety training in collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). A Talent Hunt program was also held, spotlighting and rewarding emerging talents.
The successful execution of the Mini-Marathon and related activities reinforces Brit Properties’ commitment to community development and sustainable impact beyond the real estate sector.
