Dewale Consulting launches platform to facilitate Nigerian investment in Kenya
Property advisory firm Dewale Consulting, which has over a decade of experience in the Lagos market, has launched a new initiative called Gateway to East Africa in collaboration with MVAL Properties and other firms. The aim is to foment investment in East Africa.
The platform was introduced during a recent event at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Lagos, where the firm announced a partnership with several African organizations to help Nigerian investors enter the Kenyan real estate market. This collaboration is designed to provide a secure path for individuals to invest in some of the most active economies on the continent.
Adewale Ajibade, CEO of Dewale Consulting, explained that the purpose of the initiative is to encourage meaningful dialogue about how investors can spread their financial interests across different regions.
“This collaboration seeks to introduce a select group of Nigerian investors to exceptional opportunities in East Africa’s most stable and rewarding property market,” said Ajibade.
“The narrative of wealth across the African continent is seeing 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 now.”
By partnering with MVAL Properties, a prominent developer based in Nairobi, the firm aims to connect Nigerian investors with property opportunities in a market known for its consistency and high returns.
The stability of the Kenyan economy was a central theme of the gathering. Stephen Mochiru, managing director of M-VAL Limited, highlighted that Kenya offers a reliable political and economic environment for those looking to secure their wealth. He stated that the project supports a broader vision of Pan-Africanism, where Africans choose to invest within the continent to help build local growth.
Experts at the event, including Bukola Awosika of Condos Beyond Borders, supported these claims by noting that the Kenyan real estate industry is particularly lucrative due to the high profits and favorable living conditions in the region.
“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. The yields from investments can be very high,” said Awosika.
Partnership with Access Bank
To ensure that these international investments are handled efficiently, Access Bank has joined as a partner in the project to facilitate financial transactions. Olayemi Kalejaiye, a senior manager at the bank, confirmed that they will provide seamless cross-border payment services for customers looking to move funds between Nigeria and Kenya.
Because the bank operates in both countries, it is able to offer a professional and direct process for managing the large volume of transactions expected from this new investment channel.
Ultimately, Dewale Consulting intends for the platform to be more than just a business arrangement. The firm seeks to establish long-term relationships with its clients by providing personalized consultancy and management services.
Investments in real estate
By opening this channel to East Africa, the organizers hope to create a lasting impact on how wealth is built and shared across the African continent, ensuring that investors have access to the most rewarding property markets available.
“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.”
“We aim to create lasting relationships by providing exceptional service and turning positive customer experiences into long-term partnerships,” Ajibade said.
