Some would have sold the design rather than demolished it. Trust has brought us this far and it has paid off. How can you go from 570,000 naira in 2010 to a portfolio of more than 30,000 million naira in thirteen years?This can only happen with impeccable acceptance as true and reputation. It has to be based on empathy. For example, in 2020 I started a project. There was COVID-19, the devaluation of the naira, and then inflation. When I was done, I went back to the subscribers. I told them there was no way that what they had paid for before could complete the project. So, I added a safe percentage based on economic realities and they paid because we didn’t skimp on shortcuts.
Nigeria has a severe housing deficit. Real estate progression has been linked to money laundering. What is your opinion on this?
The fight against corruption and money laundering through real estate is a complex system. What we do is make sure we get the cash through the right channels. If you need to sign up for our project, you will have to pay legally and transparently. With us, there are legal tactics to make a payment, beyond that, we won’t be involved.
