About Jide Adekola...
Welcome! I’m Jide Adekola, the Group Managing Director of Homework Group and an architect dedicated to nation-building through innovative real estate development.
Born into a humble, academically oriented family, I have always possessed a vision that extends beyond the present. From a young age, I nurtured an ability to imagine near and distant futures. My educational journey began at the University of Lagos Staff School and continued at the prestigious Kings College Lagos.
My passion for architecture took shape at the University of Lagos, where I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Architecture. I further expanded my expertise with a Master’s in Property Development from Birmingham City University in the UK. My commitment to lifelong learning has led me to engage in various programs at Harvard Business School, focusing on strategy and sustainable development and participating in the Owner Management Program at Lagos Business School.
With over 19 years of experience in the built environment, including 11 years leading Homework Group, I have worked with some of Nigeria’s best architectural firms and property development companies. My passion for real estate development is fueled by creativity and a deep commitment to making impactful contributions that drive wealth creation for investors and stakeholders.
My Vision
At Homework Group, I oversee a dynamic portfolio of 26 ongoing projects across residential, commercial, mixed-use, and hospitality sectors.
