I decided early in life, right from when I was a teenager, that I would go into real estate business. I got fascinated by the idea of doing

a business woven around properties. My father was involved in this line of business as well, and I used to be with him developing properties in Benin City, Edo State. Also, I usually got excited whenever I saw new buildings. When it was time for me to go to a higher institution, my immediate elder brother advised me to study Estate Management, which is a discipline that is related to properties. I started reading books and articles on real estate, and I decided to build a career in the field.

By the grace of God, I am the founder of the firm. I have been effective and I am in charge of drawing business plans, taking decisions and ensuring the implementation of the plans for the actualisation of the vision and mission statement of the firm. I oversee the affairs of the firm. I manage clients and the staff. I manage and allocate resources for the smooth running of the firm. Of course, I also hire and fire as the situation demands.

You are also the President of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers. What are your responsibilities in that office? The event was well attended by some governors, deputy governors, senators and members of the House of Representatives. I face issues squarely, while seeking innovative ways to change, grow and improve; making sacrifices here and there.

Land management and administration of any nation are critical to its economic development. A law that was enacted over 45 years ago cannot completely be relevant to today’s realities, hence it needs to be reviewed. I hope the current governments, both at the federal and state levels, will have the political will to do the needful.

There is a lot of mistrust in Nigeria’s real estate sector. What can be done to increase investor confidence and position the country as an attractive market to invest in?
