Agusto & Co. assigns an “A-” rating to Wemabod Limited with a stable outlook
Agusto & Co. assigns an “A-” rating to Wemabod Limited (“Wemabod” or “the Company”). The rating reflects Wemabod’s good operating cash flows supported by the relative stability in its earnings and strong average occupancy rate of nearly 90% across its portfolio of commercial, industrial, and residential properties. The rating further considers the Company’s diversified income stream that has continued to support revenue growth, and its unique project financing strategy that has helped to keep its leverage low.
Wemabod Limited is a real estate and property development company with a diversified portfolio of commercial, industrial, and residential properties across major cities in Nigeria. The Company is the real estate arm of Odu’a Investment Company Limited (“the Odu’a Group”) – a conglomerate owned and controlled by the former Western States of Nigeria (now Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti and recently added Lagos State). Wemabod owns some of the iconic commercial properties in Lagos including Western House, Investment House, Unity House, Lapal House and Awolowo House. The Company’s primary focus has been on property development and acquisition with the view to generating rental income. However, there has been a shift in Wemabod’s strategy with increased investments in new properties as well as renovation of existing commercial buildings in a bid to improve their attractiveness and occupancy rate.

Tips for Protecting your Property from Power Surges
Power surge is one of the major factors responsible for property damage in Nigeria today. Properties worth millions of naira are lost yearly to power surges in different parts of the country. Power surges occurs when there is a sudden increase in the amount of power in the electrical system. They are spikes in voltage and vary in duration and magnitude, from hundred to thousand volts.
Many buildings use electrical power which ranges from 220-240 volts, single phase, and alternating current. As a result of the unreliable and erratic supply of power, voltage is not delivered constantly at 220 volts. With alternating current, the voltage fluctuates from 0 to a peak voltage of over 280.
During a power surge, the voltage rises above the peak voltage. A spike in voltage can be damaging to appliances and electrical devices. An increase in voltage above an appliance’s operating voltage can lead to an arc of electrical current in the appliance. The heat produced in the arc affects the electronic circuit boards and other electrical components. Recurrent power surges can shorten the life of appliances and electronics and equally damage them.
- Unplug Unused Devices
The first step towards preventing power surge is to unplug devices that are not in use. It is advised not to leave household appliances plugged in especially when there is a storm because lighting strike is another major cause of power surges. Unplugging unused devices also helps to conserve energy.
- Fix Poor Wiring
If the wiring of the building is outdated, it could be a potential cause of power surge. Most electrical systems in houses built round the 80s’ were not designed for large-capacity appliances. Some signs of poor wiring are blown fuses, frequent tripping of circuit breakers, buzzing sound or burning smells from power outlets. These signs indicate that something is wrong, and it could lead to power surge. Damaged or exposed wires offer little resistance and can interrupt the flow of current. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of a surge, especially to the specific outlet they lead to.
- Repair Overloaded Circuits
If two or more large appliances are drawing power from the same power outlet, it could lead to an overloaded circuit thereby causing a potential power surge.
