Freeman Osonuga, a Nigerian Doctor who gained recognition when he volunteered as part of the African Union response team, during the Ebola virus epidemic in Sierra Leone in 2014, has ventured into real estate, setting up a brokerage company known as the Adloyalty Business Network.
Osonuga describes his foray into real estate brokerage as a way of working with prospective clients wanting to buy property by providing advice and services and helping them find properties that fit their needs and financial capability.
The medicine and surgery graduate from the Olabisi Onabanjo University has gone from fighting Ebola and Lassa Fever to tackling the housing deficit gap in Nigeria by making home ownership affordable and accessible to all through his new company.
