Abode's recognition signals a refreshing shift proving that high-growth companies can also prioritise people.
Speaking on the milestone, Itepu emphasised the importance of building sustainable workplace cultures in Nigeria's evolving business landscape.

Also reacting, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO), Damilare Oshokoya, highlighted the company's broader vision beyond real estate, saying, “We are not just building a company; we are building people. By creating a healthy and empowering work environment, we are producing a workforce that drives growth, innovation and productivity, not just within Abode, but across the real estate sector and the wider economy.”
He noted that the company's culture reflects a dynamic blend of Gen Z and millennial talent, creating a modern workplace where collaboration, creativity and expression thrive.
“This unique environment continues to attract young professionals eager to participate in a mission-driven company focused on shared prosperity, wealth creation and technology-driven access to property ownership.
“As a leading platform in digital real estate and co-ownership, Abode is redefining how everyday Nigerians access property leveraging technology to simplify acquisition, enable fractional ownership and unlock new pathways to wealth.
