Real Estate Magnate Dr. Rebecca Godwin-Isaac Advocates Land Banking as Key to Wealth Creation
Abuja, Feb 3, 2025 – Dr. Rebecca Omokamo Godwin-Isaac, the Chief Executive Officer of Homadil Realty Ltd, has urged investors—especially young entrepreneurs—to embrace land banking as a proven strategy for financial success in the real estate sector.
In an exclusive interview with journalists in Abuja on Monday, Dr. Godwin-Isaac emphasized that land banking is not just a profitable venture but the ultimate wealth-building secret in real estate.
“Many of the most successful real estate investors made their fortune through land banking. While others hesitated, we took calculated risks—buying and holding land in strategic locations that others overlooked. Now, those areas have transformed, and the value has skyrocketed,” she said.
What is Land Banking?
Land banking involves purchasing and holding land as an investment, typically in areas projected for future urban expansion, industrialization, or major infrastructure development. Investors who take advantage of this practice acquire land at lower prices and benefit from its significant appreciation over time.
Dr. Godwin-Isaac, known for her visionary approach to real estate, shared insights into how land banking shaped her success.
“I invested in areas near major transportation hubs, suburban regions, and locations that people once dismissed as undevelopable. Today, those areas are thriving, and the land has appreciated tremendously.”
She advised upcoming investors to take advantage of this strategy, highlighting that patience and foresight are crucial in the real estate business.
Overcoming Challenges in Real Estate
The Homadil Realty CEO also addressed the misconceptions and criticisms often faced by successful investors, stating that real estate success requires resilience.
“People now tell different stories about us, but where were they when we were taking the risks? Land banking requires foresight and courage. Those who hesitate miss out on generational wealth.”
Despite recent attempts to malign her reputation, Dr. Godwin-Isaac remains committed to empowering investors with the knowledge and opportunities to build wealth through real estate investment.
A Call to Action
She encouraged Nigerians, particularly young entrepreneurs, to embrace land banking and position themselves for financial security.
“Nigeria’s growing cities present enormous opportunities. If you want to build sustainable wealth, start investing in land today. It is the safest and most rewarding asset you can own.”
As a trailblazer in the real estate industry, Dr. Rebecca Omokamo Godwin-Isaac continues to inspire a new generation of investors, proving that land remains one of the greatest assets for long-term prosperity.

Nigeria at 66: ‘We Must Not Lose Faith in Nigeria’ — FCC Boss Omidiran
Joel Ajayi
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.
In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.
According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.
“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.
The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.
“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.
The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.
“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.
Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.
The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
