Africa, like Rome and its development, wasn’t built in a day.
As such, the journey towards a developed Africa must remain continuous while the path thread, diligent, to get to the promised land.
To achieve this, joint effort is required.
This article examines the need for building Africa, while discerning whether it is a civic duty or a self-imposed responsibility.
Let us begin by striking a difference between these two approaches. A civic duty is a moral or legal action required of a country’s citizen towards the country’s progress and development.
A self-imposed responsibility, on the other hand, is a voluntary action—in the context of the article—taken by a person or a group of people to achieve a specific purpose
In this light and to build Africa, let us examine the Gidi Real Estate Investment Limited’s approach.
Given that the company’s vision is set on reducing the continent’s housing deficit by a significant percentage by 2030,.
This is evident in the projects and developments Gidi embarks upon. Ranging from numerous land banking estates, to developmental estates, housing projects and many more.
Exploring the real estate industry with sustainable and innovative housing solutions keeps this vision alive as it simultaneously hits its initial reason for being.
On the other hand, as an overall contributor to national economic development, job creation is one of the many channels through which Gidi commits to the goal of building Africa.
In fact, Gidi builds not just the African housing industry, but also the human capital in the real estate sector.
The Gidi workforce boasts of seasoned and dynamic professionals giving Africa’s real estate industry the corporate and unmatched quality-service-delivery face it deserves.
Away from human capital development, with continued focus on Gidi’s sole vision is an array of prospective initiatives that feeds into their main goal.
To mention a few, the organisation is set to hold a mid-year real estate conference to foster industry-changing discussion which is long-overdue for this sector.
This conference looks to bring together a confluence of real estate agents, government agencies and officials, industry leaders and developers, for the aim of proffering practical solutions to the sector’s setbacks.
On this preface there is another guaranteed impact on moving the ‘building Africa’ vehicle in the right direction.
Therefore, the paramount task of building Africa is a self-imposed responsibility rather than a civic duty for Gidi Real Estate Investment Limited.
This choice continues to keep the company on track of its goal of reducing Africa’s housing deficit.
