Ubong Essien Champions Blue Economy as Nigeria’s Next Real Estate Frontier at FIABCI General Meeting

Unveiling the Blue Economy’s Potential for Real Estate Growth

At the FIABCI-Nigeria General Meeting, Ubong Essien, Mister Motivator, delivered a powerful keynote address on the transformative theme:
“The Blue Economy Revolution & The Emerging Opportunities for Real Estate Players in Nigeria.”

The Blue Economy is no longer a theoretical discussion—it is Nigeria’s next major frontier for real estate innovation, sustainable development, and economic diversification. With the global Blue Economy valued at $1.5 trillion, Nigeria has the potential to secure at least 10% of this wealth by leveraging its expansive marine resources, dynamic coastal cities, and interconnected waterways.

Key Takeaways from the Address:

Integrating Marine-Based Real Estate: The Nigerian real estate sector must align with marine-driven opportunities, including Blue Cities, Blue Commerce, Blue Renewable Energy, and Blue Climate Initiatives.

Strategic Positioning in Global Trade: With 70–80% of global trade conducted via the ocean, Nigeria’s real estate sector must integrate with maritime logistics, coastal infrastructure, and marine commercial hubs to tap into this movement.

From Advocacy to Action: Real estate professionals must transition from discussions to direct action, ensuring the implementation of policies that support sustainable growth in marine-integrated real estate projects.

FIABCI’s Role in Leading the Shift

FIABCI Nigeria deserves commendation for pioneering the conversation around integrating real estate within Nigeria’s economic transformation framework. The upcoming 75th FIABCI World Real Estate Congress in Lagos will serve as another milestone in positioning Nigeria at the global real estate table.
