…appeals to Diaspora Investors at Canada Trade Mission
Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited has made a strong appeal to Nigerians in the diaspora, urging them to consider investing in real estate projects back home, particularly its flagship development, the Ecostay Apartments.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ambassador (Dr.) Babatunde Adeyemo, emphasized this during the Canada Trade Mission ’24, held on Monday, September 30, at the Emerald Banquet Hall in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada.
Adeyemo, the keynote speaker at the event organized by Solteque Group, highlighted Pelican Valley’s readiness to accommodate the interests of Nigerians abroad.
He revealed that many diaspora investors had already expressed interest in the company’s projects since his arrival in Canada.
He noted that the Ecostay Apartments, formally launched on September 11, 2024, were designed with the diaspora in mind, integrating cutting-edge eco-friendly technology and sustainable materials.
“Our flagship project, the Ecostay Apartments, is more than just a residence; it’s a statement of intent and sustainability,” Adeyemo said.
“We have incorporated innovative design principles to minimize carbon footprint, ensuring that every aspect is aligned with creating an eco-friendly environment.”
He further assured investors that Pelican Valley would guide them through the complexities of Nigeria’s real estate sector, pointing out potential traps and pitfalls.
The goal, he explained, is to encourage purposeful remittances, thereby fostering foreign investment, wealth creation, job opportunities, and reducing the country’s housing deficit.
“This is an opportunity for our brothers and sisters in the diaspora to invest in real estate with high returns on investment,” Adeyemo remarked.
“We have been in business for over a decade with no negative reviews or unethical practices. God has truly delivered this project for us, and it’s time to invest.”
The Ecostay Apartments feature a host of amenities including 24/7 security, a reliable power supply, sports facilities, a mini zoo, and proximity to Pelican Valley’s Greenish Acres Farm, where organic meals are processed.
Adeyemo also announced that Pelican Brief Estate, the parent project of Ecostay, has been extended by 600 plots with government approval. However, he hinted at a possible closure on land sales, as the company plans to focus on building and selling apartments.
“Our estate offers a zero-percent interest rate on housing repayment plans,” Adeyemo added.
“There are no hidden charges, and our clients enjoy exclusive benefits and amenities.”
Earlier, Harkirat Singh, the Deputy Mayor of Brampton, Ontario, declared the trade mission open, expressing his passion for city building and addressing climate change.
In his speech, the mission’s convener, Chief Olawale Olaleye, described the event as a “vibrant exchange of ideas, cultures, and aspirations that strengthen bonds between our communities.”
The Canada Trade Mission saw a diverse gathering of dignitaries, including Prof. Wole Akinremi of the University of Manitoba, Chief Olusegun Ajala (Baba Oba of Orile Itesi Land), and King Wale Adesanya, President of the Africa Trade and Export Supermarket Canada. Several vendors also participated, showcasing traditional fabrics, cuisine, and real estate ventures aimed at strengthening trade and cultural ties between Nigeria and Canada.
The mission is expected to create a bridge between diaspora investors and Nigeria’s evolving economic landscape, with real estate opportunities taking center stage.
