An architect and entrepreneur, Keji Giwa, is one person who has brought a number of innovations to the country’s highly competitive real estate sector, especially in the area of recreational real estate and short-let homes.
According to him, his contributions to the sector are driven by his ability to harness data insights and digital innovation.
Giwa and his partner, Daniel Agoye, created Digital Landlords— a digital platform dedicated to the monetisation of property assets through cutting-edge technology across Sub-Saharan Africa.
In a statement sent to Society Plus, the entrepreneur stated that he aimed to place Nigeria on the global stage of tourism. He added, “That was why we created the ambitious project– Giwa Gardens— which is aimed at becoming West Africa’s largest water park resort.
Speaking on his other projects, Giwa stated that work was ongoing in a 21-storey tower, offering a collection of 94 suites with panoramic ocean vistas; as well as an ‘exclusive retreat’, where guests can have the ultimate party experience with absolute privacy.
Meanwhile, Giwa’s business partner, Daniel Agoye, also brings many years of experience to the table. He is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Medela Health Limited, which operates luxury care homes. This is in addition to other businesses he has co-founded with Giwa.
Describing their works as ‘affordable escapism’, he said, “Affordable escapism provides an appealing alternative, showcasing the allure of local resorts, amusement parks, and entertainment venues across Nigeria. It envisions a scenario where luxury and leisure are accessible without having to travel outside the country. By tapping into its own potential, Nigeria is crafting a blueprint for a tourism renaissance that could generate millions of jobs and attract international visitors.”
