Bisi Onasanya: A Finance Guru Redefining Philanthropy

Bisi Onasanya, the Chairman of The Address Homes Limited, is a quintessential Nigerian banker, economist, suave gentleman, and intellectually fertile colossus. He has phenomenally transited from the pinnacle of the banking industry to redefine excellence in the burgeoning luxury real estate sector and is taking philanthropy to the next level.

The renowned economist recently demonstrated his benevolence when he donated a block of six classrooms with a fully-equipped library to Ilara Model Primary School, Ilara-Epe, Lagos.

The world-class economist hinted that society has been kind to some of them and should give thanks to God; in addition to that, they must give back to that society. “The UNICEF standardisation report showed that only 61 per cent of children between ages six and 11 are in school. This is a dangerous situation, and I just thought that no child should be denied basic and quality education; no child should be made to walk up to a mile before he or she can access quality education, and I think this is a big opportunity to achieve what I have always wanted to do which is making education easy and accessible to every child,” he said at the commissioning of the project. Also, the President of the Rotary Club of Lagos, Joseph Aikhigbe, appreciated Dr. Onasanya for his laudable effort.

 “We approached him on this laudable project, and he showed his commitment and kept his word. It is difficult to find people like him; he only told us it is done, and today we are commissioning the project. We laid the foundation on September 29, 2022, and today the edifice is standing before us.

It was also disclosed to Society Watch that Onasanya, widely reputed as the architect of the modern FirstBank, had not left anyone in doubt with his business acumen, making him become one of the biggest players in the real estate space within a short period of coming into the sector.

Since he dabbled into the sector, the firm has taken over the leadership of the real estate industry in determining the best types of luxurious homes and what they ought to be priced at.

Onsasanya’s business outfit has been able to keep to the terms of its purpose as it has continued to gain more traction every time it designs and offers a luxurious residential structure to willing families and organisations. For Onasanya’s

The Address Homes, this resolution is the primary reason for their existence.
