Nedcomoaks, Citadel to unlock diaspora capital at summit

Nedcomoaks Group and Citadel Estates & Utilities plan to mobilise diaspora capital for Africa’s real estate market through the second edition of the Invest in Africa Summit 2025.

The organisers disclosed the plan in a statement on Monday, saying the summit would connect global investors with opportunities in Africa’s growing property sector.

The event will bring together real estate developers, mortgage banks, financial institutions, and policymakers to discuss sustainable housing, financing models, and public-private partnerships.

Scheduled to take place in London on March 15 and Manchester on March 22, 2025, the summit will feature networking sessions, panel discussions, and presentations on foreign direct investment-friendly policies, with developers unveiling new projects.

Group Managing Director, Nedcomoaks Group, and convener of the summit, Dr Kennedy Okonkwo said the initiative aims to empower the diaspora community to participate in Africa’s economic growth through strategic investments.

“The Invest in Africa Summit is more than just an event; it’s a movement towards economic empowerment and sustainable development,” Okonkwo said.

“By bridging the gap between the diaspora and investment opportunities back home, we are building legacies and reshaping the African investment narrative.”

Group Deputy Managing Director, Nedcomoaks Group, Ichechi Okonkwo said the partnership with Citadel Estates & Utilities underscores a shared vision to channel international capital into Africa’s property market.

The organisers called on the diaspora community and stakeholders to participate in the summit and explore wealth creation opportunities that could drive Africa’s economic transformation.
