LAGOS — In a significant move to elevate Nigeria’s professional landscape, the real estate sector is positioning itself as a key driver for international competitiveness. This was the central message at a major conference in Lagos on Saturday, where over 4,000 professionals from real estate, business, and youth development gathered to build capacity for a strategic “2025 Takeover.”
The summit, hosted by the Ultimate Vibrant Realtors Group (UVRG), transcended typical industry networking. Its “Takeover 2025” theme was reinforced by high-level diplomatic and leadership figures who challenged attendees to look beyond domestic markets.
Nigeria’s Special Envoy to Tanzania, Amb. Adeniran Michael Timothy, delivered a keynote focused squarely on innovation and the imperative for young professionals to build capacity for global opportunities. This diplomatic perspective was complemented by leadership consultant Dr. Linus Okorie, who drilled the audience on strategic thinking and intentional personal development as prerequisites for career advancement.
The conference agenda signaled a clear strategy: blending high-level theory with practical application. While developers and practitioners analyzed property market trends, a competitive segment tested participants’ real-world problem-solving skills, with top performers receiving cash and technology prizes.
While ostensibly an annual training initiative for the real estate workforce, the 2025 conference, with its inclusion of cultural figures like Lateef Adedimeji discussing professional discipline, points to a more ambitious agenda. The event served as a platform to foster a multi-disciplinary ecosystem aimed at making Nigeria’s talent base more resilient, innovative, and competitive on the global stage.
