Even the blind can see what Barrister Nyesom Wike is accomplishing in terms of infrastructure provision,”* Dr. Oladipupo stated. *”The positive outcomes of Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda have significantly boosted the real estate business, not just in Abuja, but across the entire nation.”*

### Global Partnerships and Local Footprint
Speaking on the operations of Nuels and Nails, Dr. Oladipupo revealed that his company is leveraging international partnerships to expand its business horizon across Africa, notably collaborating with DAMAC Properties in Dubai — one of the world’s largest luxury real estate development firms.
Despite its global reach, Dr. Oladipupo reaffirmed that everyday Nigerians remain the core focus of Nails & Nuels. The firm caters to diverse socio-economic groups with strategically located housing developments across Abuja:
* **High & Medium Density Income:** Premium properties in choice locations including **Guzape**, **Katampe**, and **Gwarinpa**.
* **Affordable Housing:** Emerging developments designed for middle- and lower-income earners located in **Kuje**.
He concluded by noting that Nuels and Nails used its participation at the Africa International Housing Show to further build strategic networks and broaden its operational footprint across the African continent.
