He said the company, in demonstration of its commitment, will continue its development and investment activities in residential and <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/nigeria-property-center\/\">commercial properties<\/a>, in addition to other opportunities it intends to leverage on within its strategic plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe economic challenges of the year 2016 included inflation at record high 18.71per cent, drastic fall in national revenue, acute scarcity in Forex market, badly weakened naira, decline in foreign and local investment, high interest rate, and atmosphere of uncertainty. The real estate sector\u2019s contribution to GDP declined compared to the preceding year. Lending to the sector dropped and those brave enough to lend, did so at very high rates\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Ajayi pointed out that the forecast for 2017 for national economies and the real estate are positive. He said the IMF revised its 2017 forecast for Nigeria, as it predicts a positive growth for the economy while positive indicators in the year so far are all pointing to economic recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Further to its commitment to give back to the community, he disclosed that the company completed the construction of a 372-meter long road, which it began in 2015 within the year under review. He expressed appreciation to its critical stakeholders whose contributions helped it ended the year on a positive note.<\/p>\n<p>In their contributions, some of the company\u2019s Directors, Mr. Peter Folikwe and Wole Ogungbola said the company has remained resilient despite the prevailing economic challenges in the country as it affects the sector attributing the feat to visionary leadership of the Board and Management team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/growth-target-hinged-on-infrastructure-investment\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Executive Officer of Propertygate Development and Investment Plc, Mr Adetokunbo Ajayi.
