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.
