“We are making a bold statement with this conference that the Nigerian real estate sector is an investment destination, especially at a time like this in Nigeria when other investment instruments have left investors helpless with low yields,” Obiora Onyeaso, General Manager, Conferences at BusinessDay noted.

He noted further that despite macroeconomic headwinds, the Covid-19 pandemic, and other challenges within the real estate space, the sector’s outlook remains bright and positive as operators and stakeholders continue to rethink their approaches and plans.
