In the bustling world of real estate, where the skyline is a testament to innovation and ambition, one name stands out: Fola Oyedeji, the CEO of EVC Nig Ltd, Oyedeji’s journey from a passionate civil engineering graduate to a successful real estate developer is a tale of vision, determination, and an unwavering love for building dreams.
Fola Oyedeji’s story begins in the vibrant city of Ilorin, where he graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Ilorin. “My passion for building and designing started at a very young age,” Oyedeji recalls. “I was always fascinated by structures and how they came together. Studying civil engineering was a natural step for me.”
After graduation, Oyedeji gained valuable experience working with several top construction firms. However, he soon realized that his true calling lay in creating spaces that were not just structurally sound but also aesthetically pleasing and accessible to all. “I wanted to do more than just build; I wanted to create communities where people could thrive,” he explains.
This vision led him to establish EVC Nig Ltd, a company dedicated to developing affordable, sustainable, and innovative housing solutions. “Starting EVC was a leap of faith,” Oyedeji admits. “But I was driven by my belief that everyone deserves a place they can call home.”
Under Oyedeji’s leadership, Experience Vision Creations has become synonymous with quality and innovation. One of the company’s flagship projects, the RIYADH TECH CITY in Ilorin, exemplifies this commitment. “Riyadh Tech CITY is more than just an estate; it’s a community designed to offer modern living at affordable prices,” says Oyedeji. “We integrate green spaces, smart technology, and sustainable practices to ensure a high quality of life for our residents.” The recent expansion of the Viable Real Estate and Construction firm EVC into the Ibadan Real Estate market is proof that Fola OYEDEJI is an executioner per excellence and a true business mogul.
Oyedeji’s approach to real estate development is holistic. He understands that building homes is not just about bricks and mortar but also about creating environments where people can flourish. “Our projects include recreational facilities, educational institutions, and healthcare services, making them self-sustaining communities,” he notes.
The path to success has not been without its challenges. The real estate market is fraught with economic fluctuations, regulatory hurdles, and logistical complexities. Yet, Oyedeji’s resilience and strategic thinking have enabled him to navigate these obstacles effectively. “Challenges are part of the journey,” he reflects. “What matters is how you respond to them. Every challenge has made us stronger and more innovative.”
Looking ahead, Oyedeji is optimistic about the future of real estate in Nigeria. “The demand for affordable housing is growing, and there is tremendous potential for development,” he says. “At EVC, we are committed to continuing our work in creating sustainable and inclusive communities.”
Beyond his professional achievements, Oyedeji is also a firm believer in giving back to society. He actively supports initiatives aimed at improving education and providing opportunities for young engineers. “It’s important to invest in the next generation,” he asserts. “They are the ones who will build the future.”
