The recently concluded Osun State Investment Summit set the stage for a groundbreaking announcement, as Sir Demola Aladekomo, Executive Chairman of SmartCity PLC, unveiled HazanaCity—Nigeria’s first polycentric smart city. Addressing an audience of government functionaries, real estate investors, technology enthusiasts, and key stakeholders, Sir Aladekomo highlighted the transformative impact that HazanaCity will have on urban living, economic growth, and technological innovation in Nigeria.
HazanaCity is not just another real estate development; it is a $1.2 billion integrated urban ecosystem designed to reshape the future of living in Nigeria. Strategically located at the ONT (Oranmiyan New Town) Development Scheme, Osogbo, along the Gbongan-Ibadan Expressway, and with an extension in Ibadan beside Kola Daisi University and FHA Estate, HazanaCity promises to impact over 250,000 residents and create 100,000 direct and indirect jobs.
HazanaCity embodies a forward-thinking, sustainable, and innovative approach to urban living. With tech hubs, solar farms, data centers, and modern residential zones, the city will be a seamless blend of work, live, and play. Imagine a city where green energy powers cutting-edge technology and entrepreneurship thrives in a community designed to foster innovation and a high quality of life.
Sir Aladekomo underscored the importance of sustainability, stating: “HazanaCity represents the future of urban living—where technology, sustainability, and community intersect. We are not just building infrastructure; we are creating a transformative environment for businesses, residents, and innovators to thrive.”
The summit was graced by dignitaries including the Vice President of Nigeria, Senator Kashim Shettima, ably represented, the Deputy Governor of Osun State who represented the Executive Governor of the State, HE Senator Adeleke, the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and other government officials as well as private companies executives. The initiative was highly commended, emphasizing its alignment with the government’s vision of fostering innovation, creating jobs, and driving sustainable development in Osun State and across the country.
Sir Aladekomo called on visionary investors, real estate developers, and technology pioneers to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to partner with SmartCity PLC in bringing HazanaCity to life. He emphasized the need for public-private collaboration, including additional land allocation, tax incentives, and infrastructure support, to fully realize the project’s potential.
The collaboration between SmartCity PLC and the Osun State Government positions Osogbo as a new tech-driven hub, providing unparalleled opportunities for investors and partners looking to shape the future of Nigeria’s urban landscape.
HazanaCity is set to turn Osogbo and Ibadan into tech innovation hubs, marking the beginning of a new era of urban living in Nigeria. With tech hubs, innovation parks, and renewable energy solutions, the city will not only attract local and international businesses but also provide a sustainable and forward-looking community for residents.
This is more than an investment in real estate—it is an investment in Nigeria’s future. HazanaCity will leave a lasting legacy of innovation, sustainability, and job creation, making it the perfect destination for high-net-worth individuals, real estate investors, technology entrepreneurs, and strategic partners.
