– Declares Total War against Unregistered Agents, As Tax Forces Set to Commence Arrests...

–  Directs All Members to Obtain New Identity Codes from Board of Internal Revenue

– Calls for Increased Government Collaboration and Support for REMASSOS' Total Sanitation


The President of the Real Estate Managers' Association of Ondo State (REMASSOS), Otunba Charles Alaba Alabi Olabamidele, affirms the organisation's readiness for a complete overhaul of real estate operations in Ondo State, warning that unregistered agents will face repercussions as various enforcement teams are poised to start apprehending fraudulent and unregistered members.


Otunba Charles Alaba issued this caution during his address at the annual Seminar 2025 themed: "Unlocking Real Estate Opportunities in the Current Economy," an event organised by the Real Estate Managers' Association of Ondo State (REMASSOS) at the Halleycute Mall and Event Center, Opp Signature Bar, Alagbaka, GRA, Akure, the capital of Ondo State, yesterday.


The association's president indicated that a fresh registration process for all members will commence shortly with the Ondo State Board of Internal Revenue, where new codes will be generated and issued, emphasising the necessity of government seal on all transaction receipts of the organisation. He urged the government to make the process automated so as to enhance efficiency in transactions, time and energy saving. This, he mentioned, would facilitate seamless transactions for members of the body.


Underscoring the significance of the new registration, he remarked: "Our registration is pivotal in advancing the association, as operational licenses will be granted to members by the government, eliminating the need to pay legal fees to lawyers for transactions. The legal expenses will now be borne by our potential clients. Membership is attainable either through education or association." He further highlighted that registered members will now benefit from government credit loans, government return payments, and various other advantages. Otunba Alabi Charles revealed that talks were ongoing with the government on the modalities for the new registration of all members of the association across the 18 local government areas of the state.


Otunba Alabi also implored the Ondo State government to establish a specialised court for real estate matters, such as land disputes, landlord-tenant conflicts, sales disputes, and others, to expedite justice delivery and alleviate the prolonged legal processes currently experienced in real estate conflicts. He deemed this a critical issue that the new government should promptly address, as many individuals are facing undue hardship at the hands of wicked families and unscrupulous entities.




He said there would now be constant training and retraining of members aimed at broadening their knowledge in the intricacies of the multi-trillion dollar real estate industry. The president of real estate managers called for a spirit of genuine love and cooperation among members, particularly in shared transactions, emphasising that providing satisfactory services to clients would result in referrals, thereby serving as a source of wealth. He strongly condemned any traces of greed among members, asserting that such behaviour would no longer be tolerated.


Regarding unregistered agents, he disclosed that a task force comprising all registered members of the Real Estate Managers' Association of Ondo State, lawyers, and the police across the 18 local government areas of the state would commence the arrest of such unethical elements tarnishing the association's reputation.

 

The seminar also included a lecture by the association's legal counsel, Barrister Rotimi Olorunfemi, who recommended the establishment of various committees for conflict resolution at both zonal and state levels to ensure effective operations. The seasoned legal expert also proposed the implementation of codes of conduct to further regulate REMASSOS. He suggested that the next seminar should be structured as a retreat to broaden its scope.


Also speaking at the event was Hon Bayo Ikubuwaje, who delivered a paper on: "Client Management in Real Estate."  In his words: "Client Management in Real Estate is a critical aspect of the industry that involves building and maintaining relationships with clients, understanding their needs, and providing them with exceptional service throughout the buying, selling, or leasing process." He stressed that effective client management would result in repeat business, referrals, and a strong reputation in the market.


Chief Alale, the Chairman of the Organising Committee for the Seminar, while giving a vote of thanks, expressed gratitude to the legislative and executive organs of the Ondo State government for promptly passing and signing the anti-land grabbing bill in January 2025. "We have witnessed various administrations in the state, but the current government, under the able leadership of His Excellency, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Governor of Ondo State, has been exceptionally responsive to our needs. We are immensely thankful to them." He also extended appreciation to the invited resource persons, organising committee members, and participants who traveled from near and far to make the event a resounding success.


The seminar featured critical interactive sessions and all attendees were treated to a sumptuous meal.

Beware of Ondo-Ore Road

– As Motorists Call for Urgent Attention... The Ondo-Ore Road, currently undergoing construction, has become an exceedingly dangerous route for motorists plying it.  An eyewitness, who requested anonymity, shared his experience with Gok Communications. "The contractor responsible for the project should please establish accessible entry and exit points along the road, in addition to providing more prominent road signs and diversion signposts to facilitate the movement of vehicles, particularly during this rainy season. Numerous cars were trapped on the road while I was navigating it this evening," he lamented. He therefore implored the government to appeal to the contractors handling the Ondo-Ore road construction to take the necessary actions to ensure a seamless flow of transportation along the busy road. However, the federal government's vigorous efforts in the dualization of the road are highly commendable. It is indeed a testament to the dividends of democracy, and al...

Tragedy: Female Student Stabbed Male Student over Dispute

A disturbing incident happened at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, on Monday, leaving the student community in shock. A 100-level English Education student, simply indentified as Aisha, allegedly stabbed a fellow student from the Chemistry Education department with a broken bottle near his chest. The altercation arose from a seemingly argument over phone charging, which rapidly escalated into a violent confrontation. According to eyewitnesses, Aisha had been embroiled in a heated argument with a group of students who had gathered to charge their phones at her villa. The persistent electricity supply issues in the town had led to this gathering, which Aisha apparently found intolerable. As tensions flared, a male student attempted to intervene and calm Aisha down, but she remained unappeased. In a fit of rage, she seized a bottle from the ground, broke it, and stabbed the male student near his chest. The injured student was swiftly rushed to the state hospital in Ikare for urg...
