The leading property consultancy and advisory firm on the African continent, Dewale Consulting, in collaboration with other firms across Africa, has curated a platform tagged ‘Gateway to East Africa’, which is aimed at providing meaningful dialogue for investors who earn in U.S. dollars to secure a stake in some of Africa’s most dynamic economies.
Speaking during the event at the Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos, recently, Chief Executive Officer at Dewale Consulting (Your Gateway to East Africa), Mr. Adewale Ajibade, stated that “The intent of this gathering is not to conduct a sales presentation; rather, it serves as a platform for a meaningful dialogue on how you may diversify your investment portfolio, earn in U.S. dollars, and secure a stake in one of Africa’s most dynamic economies.”
Mr. Ajibade, who addressed partners across Africa, said, “This year, we are proud to announce our partnership with MVAL Properties of Kenya, one of Nairobi’s most reputable developers. This collaboration seeks to introduce a select group of Nigerian investors to exceptional opportunities within East Africa’s most stable and rewarding property market.”
According to him, “The narrative of wealth across the African continent is experiencing a transformative shift, one that emphasizes collaboration rather than geographical boundaries. As African investors, we are recognizing that the forthcoming chapters of growth are unfolding in our immediate surroundings,” he added.
Stephen Mochiru, Managing Director, M-VAL Limited, who spoke to the media on the purpose of the gathering, said, “We are here to showcase real estate opportunities in Nairobi. The theme of the event is Gateway to East Africa. Dewale Consulting has brought this together to encourage a Pan-African dream of Africans investing in Africa, particularly in real estate.”
Mochiru said, “Kenya is a very stable economy, both politically and in terms of the economy. When you invest in Kenya, you will get stable returns. Therefore, one of the things we are offering, and hope to convince investors in Nigeria, is the stability of investment in Kenyan real estate. Also, we want to offer investors a chance for a second basket, that is, Pan-Africanism.”
Corroborating the earlier speakers, Bukola Awosika, Managing Partner at Condos Beyond Borders, stressed that “The Kenyan real estate industry is a very lucrative one and the country is very much an investment destination. The weather is beautiful, and the economy is pretty much stable. I live in Kenya, and I have lived there for the past 20 years. The yields from the investment are a lot, it is very high. It’s very attractive, and I want to encourage investors to take up this opportunity in Kenya.”
Senior Product Manager at Access Bank LLC, Olayemi Kalejaiye, who is in charge of Remittance & E-Business, revealed that Access Bank would be facilitating an investment drive for its customers, hence its participation in the project.
“Access Bank stands to gain a lot, first of all, from its customers, as these are real estate professionals, and we expect a huge volume of transactions from them. We have Access Bank in Nigeria, and we have Access Bank in Kenya.
“We have a very seamless transaction process between Nigeria and Kenya. This is a way to get new customers, and our cross-border payment service is one of the best on the continent,” Kalejaiye added.
At Dewale Consulting, Ajibade said, “We are experienced professionals offering personalized property consultancy, management, and sales services to our clients. As a local property company with over 10 years of experience, we have a deep understanding of the Lagos State market.
“Our goal is to become the preferred property consultant and management agency. We aim to create lasting relationships by providing exceptional service and turning positive customer experiences into long-term partnerships,” he added.
