Real Estate Topshot, Dorry Okojie’s New Ambition

Highly cerebral and cosmopolitan real estate magnate, Dr. Dorry Okojie is undoubtedly not a greenhorn in Nigeria’s real estate sector. After starting his business early in life, one thing has remained constant for him: he is a stickler for success. For him, anything worth doing at all is worth doing well.

Despite being born with a bourgeoisie background, the DAF Homes and Estate boss believes working hard to earn one’s money is essential. He, therefore, abandoned his father’s wealth and set out for greatness on his own strength.

In his quest to make a name for himself, he found solace in construction, which today has thrown him into the consciousness of the people as a top player in the real estate sector with several condominiums littered across the skyline of Lagos and highbrow areas in Benin and Abuja.

For those who might feel that his success was attained on a platter of gold or by chance, it’s instructive to explain that Okojie’s success was achieved with sheer dint of hard work and a strong will to survive against all odds. These two uncommon attributes have kept him standing for over two decades in the murky waters of entrepreneurship.

Despite attaining wealth at a young age, he has never allowed money to control him. Instead, he remains in charge of his life and has maintained a humble, calm, and goal-oriented attitude.

The Edo-born real estate billionaire has always wanted to serve because of his compassion and love for his people. Over the years, he has spent proceeds from his business to empower lots of people by personally building roads, empowering security outfits and youths, paying house rent and giving scholarships to numerous students.

After doing all these for years, he feels it will be a disservice if he does not do it on a larger scale, which will in turn benefit the general populace in his state. Society Watch gathered that as the tenure of Governor Obaseki is winding up, the real estate top shot has yielded to the calls of his people and has thrown his hat into the ring for the state’s top job come 2024. 

Though he is yet to officially announce this, he is already reaching out for the blessings of those that matter in the state. 

A source confirmed that like a fresh gust of summer wind, Dorry is bringing into play his vast experience as an entrepreneur in the private sector with the hope to use his big connection to drive investment opportunities, tapping from the untapped resources in Edo to bring about wealth and job creation.

He has commenced the movement already and is currently consulting with stakeholders on the next line of action.
