Summary of professional and personal life (kindly fill with your own answers)
I am an Estate Surveyor and Valuer with Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the prestigious University of Lagos, Nigeria. I am an Associate member of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) and registered with the Estate Surveyors and Valuers Board of Nigeria (ESVARBON).
Why Uraga- why apply to work for UREL- what was “the motivation”
My first motivation to work for UREL was its affiliation with the renowned Honeywell Group. As a reputable and diversified Nigerian conglomerate, Honeywell has consistently demonstrated excellence, innovation, and long-term vision across sectors. Knowing that UREL is a subsidiary of such a distinguished group gave me confidence in its corporate governance, operational standards, and growth potential.
I was also drawn by UREL’s commitment to redefining real estate development in Nigeria through sustainable and high-quality projects. I saw an opportunity to be part of a team that not only delivers value-driven solutions but also contributes to shaping the urban landscape in meaningful ways. The blend of professionalism, innovation, and the backing of a trusted brand like Honeywell made UREL a natural choice for me to grow, contribute meaningfully, and align with an organization that shares my aspirations for excellence.
Journey so far- career growth and development.
I began my journey with Uraga Real Estate Limited (UREL) in 2018 as an intern in the Property & Facilities Management department. From the very start, I was eager to learn and immerse myself in the practical aspects of real estate operations. This internship provided a strong foundation in property management, facility management, dispute resolution, tenant relations, maintenance coordination, and many more.
Recognizing the growth opportunities within the company, I was privileged to complete my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program at UREL, which further deepened my understanding of the company’s values, systems, and operational expectations. Upon successful completion, I was retained and appointed as a Property and Facilities Management Officer. My consistent performance, problem-solving ability, and team-oriented approach contributed to my eventual promotion to Supervisor within the same department.
Life at Uraga- personal opinion of and experience at UREL.
Life at Uraga Real Estate Limited (UREL) has been both enriching and transformative. From the moment I joined in 2018 as an intern, I found my selfin a work environment that values growth, encourages innovation, and support continuous learning. UREL is not just a workplace; it is a community of professionals driven by excellence, integrity, and a shared commitment to delivering quality in real estate.
One of the most remarkable aspects of UREL is its culture of inclusion and mentorship. I have had the privilege of working with highly experienced professionals who are always willing to guide, support, and challenge me to grow. The leadership is approachable, and the company fosters open communication, making it easy to contribute ideas and take initiative.
UREL’s structured systems, high standards, and affiliation with the reputable Honeywell Group further reinforce the company’s strong reputation. But beyond the brand, what truly stands out is the people- the camaraderie, professionalism, and shared sense of purpose that make coming to work every day a fulfilling experience.
In summary, life at Uraga has been a journey of growth, responsibility,and purpose. It’s a place where I’ve not only built a career but also found a sense of belonging.
