Popular philanthropist and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the leading real estate firm, KSI Construction Company Ltd, Koleola Emmanuel Fadeni, has emerged as the Real Estate Giant of the Year, following his selection for an Award of Merit by African Giant.

The award is in recognition of Dr Fadeni’s impact in the real estate sector and his extensive humanitarian contributions to society.

According to the organisers of the African Giants Awards, the award reflects Dr. Fadeni’s consistent commitment to using his resources, influence and professional expertise to improve lives, particularly among vulnerable groups across different communities in Nigeria.

The organisers further disclosed that Fadeni’s humanitarian efforts played a major role in his emergence as Real Estate Giant of the Year, describing him as a “development-driven individual whose compassion and generosity complement his professional achievements.”

Speaking with reporters at the event, the CEO of African Giant Awards, Okpe Lawrence, said Dr Fadeni’s philanthropic activities and work ethics is second to none, hence the merited award.

“His impact is not limited to the real estate sector alone; he has extended his goodwill to various parts of the country, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This is why he deserves this recognition by African Giant,” he said.

Fadeni, a native of Ondo Town in Ondo State, South-West Nigeria, is widely known for his philanthropic interventions, especially within the FCT.

He has facilitated the construction of boreholes in several communities like Bwari, providing residents with access to clean and potable water and easing the burden of water scarcity.

He has also empowered numerous widows through financial assistance and material support, particularly during festive seasons. Beneficiaries say these gestures have brought relief, restored hope and improved living conditions for many households.

Beyond his current interventions, Fadeni plans to deepen his humanitarian engagements through his Funke Fadeni Foundation.

He is expected to roll out a youth empowerment programme in Ondo State from Monday, April 13th, to Thursday 16th April, 2026.

The event is aimed at equipping young people with relevant skills, startup support and opportunities to lift them out of poverty.

Also, several widows will be gifted both cash and food items during the empowerment programmes.
