Firm bets on Kenyan real estate to help Nigerians build wealth, hedge Naira volatility

A data-driven real estate advisory firm, ‘Dewale Consulting Ltd (DCL), has stated that pan-African diversification is key to hedging Naira volatility and building resilience and wealth, therefore, targeting 9% to 12% yields for Nigerians interested in investing in the Kenyan property market.

This was contained in a statement made available to the media to announce the firm’s 2026 ‘Gateway to East Africa’ Kenya Real Estate Investment Tour scheduled for July 20-25, 2026, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Adewale Ajibade, Managing Director/CEO of Dewale Consulting Ltd (DCL), whose company is planning 2026 ‘Gateway to East Africa’ Kenya Real Estate Investment Tour scheduled July in Nairobi, Kenya said in a statement “The tour is inspired by Africa’s move toward regional integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the need for Nigerians to diversify beyond local markets. “

According to him, “Diversification is non-negotiable for smart investors. As Africa accelerates toward ‘One African market’, Kenya is a preferred destination because its real estate market offers clearer regulation, a more stable macroeconomic environment with low currency volatility, and greater market maturity.
