Lagos State was the proud host for the official launch of EkoDubai, a groundbreaking real estate firm established to connect Nigerian investors with high-value property opportunities in Dubai. The prestigious event took place on 1 December 2025, gathering a notable audience of investors, developers, and business leaders.
A Grand Unveiling and Visionary Message
The ceremony was marked by an official ribbon-cutting, performed by key figures including Abdullah Al Kahtani, representing the Consulate of the United Arab Emirates (UAE); Tayo Ayinde, the Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor, who represented the governor; and Gabriel Melki, the Chairman of EkoDubai. In a powerful address, Chairman Melki stated the company's mission extends beyond mere property sales. "This company is not just about selling properties; it is about opening doors to new opportunities, strengthening economic ties, and giving Nigerians the confidence to invest globally," he declared.
An Immersive Digital Experience
The event was designed to mirror the sophistication of Dubai while capturing the vibrant energy of Lagos.
