On “The CEO Today,” a business-focused program anchored by Abioye Tosin Lawrence at Oriontimes Studio, Otunba Nicholas Adebisi, Founder of NICHOMES, shared a compelling account of resilience, mentorship, and strategic growth within Nigeria’s competitive real estate sector, culminating in his planned expansion into Osun State.
The Osun-born entrepreneur, who currently practices as a real estate appraiser in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State, traced a pivotal moment in his journey to an unexpected encounter.
“I met my benefactor inside a tricycle, popularly known as Keke NAPEP,” he revealed.
“We met inside Keke NAPEP. He gave me his contact, which I unfortunately lost. But through social media, I was able to reconnect,” Adebisi recalled during the interview.
That seemingly casual meeting evolved into a defining professional relationship. Determined not to lose valuable contacts again, Adebisi institutionalized a deliberate networking culture, adding every new client to his social media platforms to ensure sustained engagement and visibility.
According to him, strategic relationship-building is a non-negotiable driver of business growth.
“Meeting people is the path to growth in business,” he emphasized.
From Connection to Mentorship
After reconnecting with his benefactor, Adebisi focused on building confidence through competence and integrity. Over time, the relationship matured into mentorship, one that continues to shape his leadership philosophy and corporate direction.
He underscored that integrity remains the foundation of his brand, particularly in real estate appraisal, where trust, accuracy, and transparency define long-term sustainability.
Strategic Expansion into Osun
Now recognized as a rising real estate force in Northern Nigeria, Adebisi disclosed concrete plans to establish a new firm in Osun State. The expansion represents more than geographic growth; it signals a calculated move to bridge Northern expertise with Southwest market opportunities.
With Osun’s evolving property landscape and increasing demand for professional valuation services, industry observers consider the move both timely and strategic. By leveraging his experience in Yola’s dynamic market environment, Adebisi aims to elevate appraisal standards and foster investor confidence in the region.
Business Takeaways
Adebisi’s journey offers practical lessons for emerging entrepreneurs:
Opportunities often arise in unexpected environments.
Social media functions as a strategic business infrastructure tool.
Mentorship accelerates leadership development and clarity.
Integrity remains the strongest competitive advantage in service-driven industries.
His appearance on “The CEO Today” reinforces the program’s commitment to spotlighting visionary leaders shaping Nigeria’s economic landscape, one relationship, one expansion, and one strategic decision at a time.
