Pegasus Realty has officially broken ground on Palladium Residences, a landmark residential development in Achimota designed to redefine urban living with affordability and contemporary elegance.

The sod-cutting ceremony, held at ABC Junction near Guinness Ghana HQ on Tuesday, March 25, marked the commencement of a project that will deliver 24 four-bedroom townhouses and a 70-unit apartment complex, comprising one, two, and three-bedroom options.

The development aims to provide middle-class families and professionals with high-quality homes at flexible payment terms.

Speaking at the event, a Pegasus Realty representative, Jessica Zwennes highlighted Palladium Residences as a high-end addition to the Achimota neighborhood, aligning with the area’s existing prestige.

“Palladium Residences is the first of it kind in Achimota in terms of prestige and the magnitude of the real estate development. Achimota already has quite a prestigious institution. It has the Achimota school, which is quite famous. You also have the Achimota golf club, which is also one of the pinnacles of this area as well as Guinness Ghana and the Achimota mall. So there are quite a few institutions and outlets here that we felt that Palladium Residences will fit right in and further uplift the atmosphere of this area.”

Palladium Residences promises an unparalleled living experience, integrating contemporary architecture with functionality. The townhouses feature distinct architectural styles, creating a vibrant and diverse streetscape, while the apartments embrace open-concept designs, maximizing natural light and airflow for a bright, airy ambiance.

The development offers easy access to key destinations across Accra, including: Achimota Retail Centre (5 minutes) for shopping and entertainment, Accra Mall (15 minutes), a major retail and lifestyle hub, Kotoka International Airport (20 minutes) for seamless travel, University of Ghana, Legon (15 minutes), appealing to academics and students, Achimota School (10 minutes), ideal for families and Central Business District (25 minutes), ensuring quick access to Accra’s economic center.

Developed by Yaw Addo Developments Limited and constructed by Construction Logistics Limited, Palladium Residences is designed as a master-planned community with world-class amenities, including: a private gym and swimming pool, a rooftop lounge with scenic views, a multi-purpose sports court, an on-site restaurant and retail spaces, and a dedicated children’s play area.

Pegasus Realty’s latest venture is set to contribute to Ghana’s housing sector while offering a solid investment opportunity. The company has introduced flexible payment plans to make homeownership more accessible, and early buyers can take advantage of off-plan prices for the next 30 days.

As construction officially kicks off, Palladium Residences stands as a testament to Pegasus Realty’s commitment to shaping the future of modern urban living in Ghana.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared that it would never be intimidated, distracted, or silenced in its push to realize a better Nigeria.

Spokesman of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, said this in reaction to the Supreme Court ruling, which affirmed David Mark’s leadership of the party.

Abdullahi said the judgment has affirmed that the Mark and Rauf Aregbesola leadership of the party is legitimate.

Abdullahi said: “The African Democratic Congress (ADC) congratulates all our members and leaders across the country on today’s Supreme Court ruling which affirmed the leadership of our party under Senator David Mark as National Chairman, and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary.

“Today’s decision is a clear affirmation that our party, its structures, and its leadership under our National Chairman, Senator Mark, and our National Secretary, Ogbeni Aregbesola, are legitimate.

“We commend the five-man panel of the Supreme Court, whose unanimous judgment has today done great credit to the judiciary in our country and our political system.

“However, while we welcome this judgment, we do not mistake it for the end of the struggle. The events leading up to this moment have exposed a troubling pattern of interference, bad faith, and attempts to weaken opposition voices in Nigeria.

“Let it be clearly stated: the ADC will not be intimidated, distracted, or silenced. We remain resolute in our mission to provide Nigerians with a credible alternative.

“We therefore urge all our members, supporters, and democratic stakeholders across the country to remain vigilant.”

The appointment followed the resignation of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, who stepped down to participate in preparations for the 2027 elections.

According to the statement, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s elevation marks a return to a more senior role within Nigeria’s foreign service architecture, having previously served as Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Her new appointment places her at the helm of Nigeria’s diplomatic engagements, where she is expected to oversee the country’s foreign policy direction, strengthen international partnerships, and advance economic diplomacy objectives.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, following the resignation of Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, who stepped down to participate in the 2027 elections.

“Ambassador Odumegwu-Ojukwu previously served as Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

The Presidency noted that the decision forms part of ongoing efforts to reposition Nigeria’s foreign policy framework for greater efficiency and stronger global engagement. It added that the new minister is expected to deepen diplomatic relations, promote Nigeria’s national interest, and ensure the welfare of Nigerians abroad remains a priority.

In the same announcement, President Tinubu also nominated Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, subject to Senate confirmation.

Enikanolaiye, from Kogi State, previously served as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and International Relations. He is a seasoned diplomat with over three decades of service in Nigeria’s foreign affairs system and has held key postings in Addis Ababa, Belgrade, Ottawa, London, and New Delhi.

The Presidency said the appointments are part of broader efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s foreign policy architecture and improve the country’s global diplomatic engagement.

She was born on 5 August 1967 in Anambra State and studied law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1992 after attending the Nigerian Law School in Lagos.

Her academic background includes a Master’s degree in International Relations and Diplomacy from Universidad Alfonso X El Sabio in Spain, as well as postgraduate diplomas in Human Rights and International Relations from the Berg Institute, Madrid, and in Dynamics of Conflict and Cooperation from the University for Peace in Costa Rica.

All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Lagos State, Samuel Ajose, has declared that the endorsement of Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat as the next governor by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) will not stand.

GAC, regarded as the highest decision-making body of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, endorsed Hamzat, as its consensus candidate for the 2027 governorship election.

The decision was reached during a closed-door meeting held at Lagos House, Marina, indicating an early alignment within the ruling party ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Speaking after the session, GAC leader, Tajudeen Olusi, said members unanimously agreed on Hamzat, expressing confidence in his ability to sustain and build on the state’s developmental progress.

Olusi explained that the meeting was convened to deliberate on the party’s forthcoming primaries and assess the governorship position ahead of the 2027 elections.

Speaking about the GAC adoption of Hamzat as Lagos APC consensus 2027 governorship candidate on Arise News on Tuesday, Ajose said that Sanwo-Olu and others are trying to force President Tinubu into making a decision.

“I don’t think our president, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is giving in to what they are doing.

“What they are just trying to do is to coerce him into taking a decision, and I don’t think that decision will stand.”
