Engr. Emmanuel C. Ibeazor, Chairman and CEO of Pentagon Homes and Properties Limited, is honoured at the West Africa Icon Award 2026, presented by Elation Magazine at Merit House in Maitama, Abuja. The ceremony was set for Wednesday, 23rd September 2026 at 12:00 PM prompt.
This is the announcement, the citation, the venue, and one thing we would rather you do than simply congratulate us: check our registration yourself.
What the West Africa Icon Award 2026 recognises
The award is presented by Elation Magazine and honours three things, named on the flyer: leadership, innovation, and sustainable impact.
The 2026 edition carries the West Africa Icon Award title and lists Pentagon Homes and Properties Ltd as the company powering the event, under the headings real estate, investment, and property management. Those are three of the areas we work in every day across Abuja, Lagos, Anambra, and Port Harcourt.
The citation, in the award's own words
The flyer carries a short merit statement. It reads: "This distinguished award recognises his remarkable leadership, entrepreneurial excellence, pioneering innovation and outstanding contributions to Real Estate Development, Affordable Housing, Property Investment and Sustainable Community Growth across West Africa and beyond."
We are quoting it rather than paraphrasing it, because it is Elation Magazine's assessment, not ours. What we can add are the facts behind the areas it names. Pentagon Homes has 15 core staff, 30 field marketers, and six estate sites: Royal Villa in Idu, King's Court in Kubwa, Comfort City in Kuje, Lugbe Estate, Peace City, and Solar City in Apo. You can visit any of them.
When and where it took place
- Date: Wednesday, 23rd September 2026
- Time: 12:00 PM prompt
- Venue: Bouquet Hall, Nigeria National Merit Award Secretariat (Merit House)
- Address: Plot 22, Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Maitama, Abuja
Merit House is the administrative home of the Nigerian National Merit Award, a national honour established by Act No. 53 of 1979. It is a fitting setting for a ceremony about recognition.
An award is not a title document
Here is the part that matters more to you than the trophy. An award tells you how a company or a person is regarded. It tells you nothing about the plot you are about to pay for.
A beautiful building on a bad title is still a loss, whoever has praised the seller. So before you pay for any property, from us or from anyone else:
- Search the company's registration number at the Corporate Affairs Commission. Ours is RC 9023084, and you should check it rather than take our word for it.
- Confirm the plot is allocated and free of revocation with an AGIS search for Abuja land.
- Ask to see the Certificate of Occupancy or Right of Occupancy, not a receipt or a letter that says it is "in process".
We verify every title before we list a property. That is the routine, and it does not change because of a ceremony. Our guide to how to verify land ownership in Nigeria walks through each check.
What this means for buyers and investors
Nothing changes in how we work. The same team, the same verification, the same six estates. What the honour does give you is one more reason to look closely at how we operate, and we would welcome that.
If you are weighing a purchase, start with the properties currently for sale, read about our services in Abuja, or look at how our Rent to Own plan lets you move in and pay toward owning a home. If you are still comparing options, we will tell you honestly when a property does not fit your plan.
