Dewale Consulting, a leading property consultancy and advisory firm on the African continent, has unveiled a new platform titled ‘Gateway to East Africa’, designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue and investment opportunities for Nigerian investors seeking exposure to some of Africa’s most vibrant economies. This initiative is developed in collaboration with various firms across Africa.
During a recent event held at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos, Dewale Consulting’s CEO, Mr. Adewale Ajibade, explained that the platform is not a sales pitch but an opportunity for investors to explore diversification options, earn in U.S. dollars, and secure stakes in promising African markets.
“The purpose of this gathering is to foster a meaningful dialogue on how investors can diversify their portfolios and benefit from the growth in Africa’s dynamic economies,” Ajibade stated. He also announced a strategic partnership with MVAL Properties of Kenya, one of Nairobi’s most reputable developers, aimed at introducing Nigerian investors to lucrative property opportunities in East Africa’s stable markets.
Ajibade highlighted a shift in the continent’s wealth narrative, emphasising increased collaboration across borders. “The future of growth on the continent is increasingly about partnership and regional integration,” he noted.
Stephen Mochiru, Managing Director of M-VAL Limited, expressed enthusiasm about showcasing Nairobi’s real estate prospects. “Kenya offers a stable economy and political environment, making its real estate market an attractive investment destination. Our goal is to encourage Nigerian investors to consider Kenya as a reliable second option in their investment portfolios,” he explained.
Supporting this sentiment, Bukola Awosika, Managing Partner at Condos Beyond Borders, shared her positive experience living in Kenya for over 20 years. “Kenyan real estate is highly lucrative, with attractive yields and stability. I strongly encourage investors to explore this opportunity,” she affirmed.
Olayemi Kalejaiye, Senior Product Manager at Access Bank LLC, revealed that the bank will facilitate cross-border investments by enabling seamless remittance and payment services between Nigeria and Kenya. “This partnership aims to attract more real estate professionals and investors, leveraging our efficient transaction infrastructure,” he said.
Ajibade concluded by emphasising Dewale Consulting’s commitment to personalised service. “With over a decade of experience in Lagos’s property market, we aim to become the preferred consultancy for African real estate investments, fostering long-term relationships through exceptional service and trusted guidance,” he stated.
