Agriculture and Real Estate Set to Drive Nigeria’s Economy: ICT Expert Funso Akinwunmi Predicts

The future of Nigeria’s economy is set to shift towards agriculture and real estate, according to United Kingdom-based ICT expert Funso Akinwunmi. Akinwunmi, who made this prediction during a visit to the Pelican’s Greenish Acre Farm Estate in Ogun State, emphasized the potential for these sectors to become major sources of revenue and employment in the country.

The ongoing land preparation for a massive plantain and cassava farm project within the Pelican’s Greenish Acre Farm Estate impressed Akinwunmi, who highlighted the importance of taking farming seriously to boost food productivity and security. He also stressed the significance of providing affordable housing to address housing crises and drive national growth.

Ambassador Babatunde Adeyemo, the Managing Director of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, the promoter of the Pelican Valley Estate in Ogun State, has been at the forefront of these initiatives. Akinwunmi commended Adeyemo’s efforts and called for support from the state government and Nigerians in the diaspora to contribute towards food security and housing development in the country.

In response, Adeyemo expressed his admiration for Akinwunmi and his commitment to building partnerships with clients abroad. He assured clients that they will continue to receive satisfaction from their involvement in the Pelican Valley projects.

As the country looks towards diversifying its economy, the focus on agriculture and real estate as key drivers of growth and development could mark a significant shift in Nigeria’s economic landscape. With innovative projects like the Pelican Valley Estate leading the way, the future looks promising for the country’s economic transformation.
