Sector 01

Real Estate

A recent study puts Nigeria's existing housing stock at just 23 units per 1,000 inhabitants, and the official count put the national deficit at 14.9 million housing units for 2025, with a further 15.2 million existing homes judged substandard.

The challenge

  • Naira devaluation drives inflation and the high cost of building materials, making home ownership near-impossible.
  • An inefficient mortgage industry locks most Nigerians out of affordable housing.
  • Land litigation and “land grabbing”, where government-acquired land is sold without consent, leaves buyers defrauded and properties demolished.

Our response

  • Acquire, develop, let and dispose of landed property as developers, contractors and managers.
  • Transparent, properly titled transactions that protect buyers.
  • Quality homes delivered to The Bugatti standard, designed for real Nigerian families.

Sector 02

Construction

High material costs push too many contractors to cut corners, compromising standards and quality and ending in shoddy works that endanger occupants. The collapse of the 21-storey building in Ikoyi in 2021 is a stark example of what is happening across the industry.

The challenge

  • Cost-cutting that compromises structural integrity.
  • A rise in collapsed buildings across the country.
  • Quacks claiming to be professionals in architecture and engineering.

Our response

  • Full civil & architectural engineering services: architectural and structural designs.
  • Geotechnical investigations and engineering surveying.
  • Professional project management from foundation to finish.

Sector 03

Mining

Solid minerals contribute less than 1% of Nigeria's GDP, and the country imports minerals, like salt and iron ore, that it could produce domestically. Once a major producer of tin, columbite and coal, the sector was neglected after the discovery of oil in 1956.

The challenge

  • Inadequate infrastructure, limited funding and an inefficient regulatory framework.
  • Illegal miners destroying the environment, the ecosystem and risking lives.
  • Lack of skilled labour, data management and access to international markets.

Our response

  • Responsible exploration, extraction, processing and marketing of solid minerals.
  • Sustainable mining practices and full regulatory compliance.
  • Partnerships with local communities, government agencies and suppliers.

Sector 04

Energy

In 2023 39% of Nigerians, about 86.8 million people, had no access to electricity, the largest gap of any country. Nigeria has over 13,000 MW of installed generation capacity, yet average daily generation remains under 5,000 MWh/h due to gas supply constraints and transmission bottlenecks.

The challenge

  • A fast-growing population and economy driving demand for reliable power.
  • Dependence on fossil fuels and an underperforming grid.
  • The urgent need for a transition to renewable energy.

Our response

  • Energy services across renewable and non-renewable sources.
  • Development, supply, distribution and maintenance of power solutions.
  • Sustainable practices that power homes, businesses and communities.

Energy

Under 40% of installed power is available

In Q4 2025 Nigeria's 28 grid-connected plants averaged a plant availability factor of 39.64%. Of more than 13,000 MW installed, about 5,400 MW was available and average generation was 4,452.71 MWh/h.

Mining

Over 80% of output, under 30% of royalties

Artisanal and small-scale miners produce over 80% of Nigeria's solid mineral volumes but pay less than 30% of royalties, NEITI reported in October 2025. Most output still moves outside the channels that record and tax it.

Construction

47 building collapses in 2024

The Building Collapse Prevention Guild recorded 47 collapses across 14 states in 2024, 13 of them in Lagos. Its count since 1974 reached 659 collapses and about 1,621 deaths by June 2025, with Lagos accounting for 55.1%.

Real Estate

Nigeria's housing deficit: 14.9 million units

A technical committee set up by the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development put the 2025 deficit at 14.925 million units, measured by persons per room. It replaces earlier estimates, some as high as 28 million, that had no agreed method.

Why Invest

The challenge is the opportunity

For Nigeria to become a $1 trillion economy by 2030, from a GDP of about $243 billion in 2024, it must create about 4× the value it produces today. Real Estate, Construction, Mining and Energy top the chart in wealth creation and wealth preservation: more jobs, more purchasing power, a higher standard of living.
