Pelican Valley woos diasporan investors
Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited has taken its investment drive to Canada to attract more diasporan investors in Nigeria.
The Chief Executive Officer of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, Dr. Babatunde Adeyemo, speaking recently with newsmen at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada, announced his participation in the upcoming Solteque Canada Trade Mission 2024.
Adeyemo revealed that he would showcase the firm’s innovative range of estate products at the event.
He said, “The essence was to encourage more diasporans and the Nigerian government to engage in purpose-driven remittance by way of foreign and non-oil investment, in a bid to help create wealth, job opportunities, bridge the widening housing deficit, while strengthening the nation’s foreign exchange and building solid retirement plans back home for the diasporans.”
The Pelican Valley CEO, who was received by a Canadian Parliamentary aide, Akin Oduntan, and the Chairman of Solteque Incorporation, Canada, Olawale Olaleye, said the Trade Mission, an initiative of Solteque incorporation, would help its firm consolidate on the gains of a similar mission undertaken last December in the United Kingdom.
He added, “Having identified some diaspora investors, their massive investments in Nigeria as well as their respective values and returns on investment, also shared the news of his re-invitation to London to grace this year’s edition of the London Avenue Impact Winter ball.
“I do not doubt in my mind that the Nigerians in Canada will also toe the path of their London counterparts, after receiving the heavy dose of the real estate digest we are bringing to the table. I want to use the occasion to congratulate our audience in advance.”
He noted that the trade mission, scheduled for September 30th to October 4th, 2024, would be held at Emerald Banquet Hall 55 Guided Court Etobicoke, Ontario, and will feature the making and exhibition of local fabrics and design, artisan works, snacks/food and real estate.
Oduntan asserted that Nigerians living abroad would reconnect with their heritage again while exploring the immense potential of investing back home.
According to him, participants can immerse themselves in the vibrant tapestry of Nigerian culture while discovering how they can contribute to and benefit from Nigeria’s economic resurgence.
“At the heart of this mission is Pelican Valley Nigeria, which will present exciting real estate investment opportunities tailored for the Nigerians in the diaspora. With Nigeria’s real estate market on the rise, participants will gain valuable insights into property investments that promise significant returns.
“Pelican Valley’s knowledgeable team will guide navigating the market, highlighting key areas for growth and development. This is an excellent chance for diaspora Nigerians to invest in their homeland, plan for retirement, and secure their financial future.
“The Canada Trade Mission stands as a unique bridge between cultures and economies, fostering a spirit of collaboration and investment. By attending this exhibition, Nigerians in the diaspora can use the opportunity to strengthen their ties to their roots while making informed decisions that benefit both themselves and their communities. It is going to be an exciting journey of cultural celebration and economic empowerment.”
Also speaking to the media, Olaleye stated that the event was going to be a vibrant platform for Nigeria, particularly the South-West geopolitical zone to unlock significant economic opportunities for the region.
