ASUU strike: UniJos deserted as lecturers shun classes

The University of Jos on Monday joined the two-week warning strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), effectively grounding all academic activities on campus.

When BusinessDay visited the university, lecture halls were empty, and there were no signs of teaching or learning.

The university’s main gate was partially closed, indicating limited access, while students lingered around without direction. Notably, academic staff were absent from campus, in line with the nationwide strike directive issued by ASUU’s national leadership.

Jurbe Joseph Molwus, a professor and chairman of ASUU, UniJos chapter, confirmed the development in a telephone interview with BusinessDay.

He said the branch had fully complied with the national directive, and there would be no reversal until further notice. ‘We are fully on strike. There is no going back,’ he stated.

The warning strike, declared last week by ASUU, is aimed at drawing attention to the federal government’s failure to implement previous agreements, poor funding of public universities, and unresolved welfare issues affecting lecturers across Nigeria.

With UniJos joining the strike, academic activities have now halted in several federal and state universities, leaving students stranded and uncertain about the continuity of their academic programmes.

Terminal operators demand policy consistency to drive investment decisions in Nigeria

Terminal operators at Nigeria’s biggest ports say continuity and consistency in policy regulations are necessary to enable foreign investment flows into Nigeria.

At the 31st annual Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, Frederik Klinke, the Chief Executive Officer of APM Terminals Nigeria, told a roundtable panel that while there is optimism about reforms taken by the government, they need a regulatory environment for predictability that guarantees that the rules will not change.

‘What investors are concerned about is long term predictability. When you operate in a volatile inflation and forex environment like Nigeria, investors understand that but there has to be assurance that the regulation in place allows for such volatility by enabling investors to adjust tariffs when inflation runs high. If that is not in place, that it becomes a huge hindrance to business.’

APM Terminals is Nigeria’s largest port operator, headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands and a unit of Danish shipping company Maersk.

During the opening ceremony, Kashim Shettima, Nigeria’s vice president, said the reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu were of ‘good intentions’ but acknowledged Nigeria faces problems, which he said are surmountable.

‘The government is ready to receive and implement recommendations that will emerge from your deliberations. We will industrialise Nigeria through power, logistics and technology,’ he said.

Meanwhile, other private sector players like Jobson Ewalefoh, director general of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, said that Nigeria’s biggest hindrance to investors ‘goes beyond the funding of physical assets’ to infrastructural issues.

‘As a country, we cannot run away from the fact that we have an infrastructure challenge. Our infrastructure gap represents a significant challenge and transformative opportunity. Public resources can no longer support the transformation we envisage,’ he said.

He said his company is trying to solve these problems by hastening the process of privatisation and concession approval from the Bureau of Public Enterprises. ‘Nigeria is open for business,’ he said.

Pathway Advisors leads N6.14bn oversubscribed commercial paper for Veritasi Homes

Pathway Advisors Limited has arranged another successful fundraising for Veritasi Homes and Properties Plc, as the real estate firm raised N6.135 billion in its Series 1 Commercial Paper issuance, exceeding the initial N5 billion target under its newly registered N20 billion programme.

The offering, which was oversubscribed, drew strong participation from institutional investors, highlighting growing market confidence in Veritasi’s credit quality and operational performance.

The 270-day tenor issuance marks the company’s first under the new programme, following the expiration of its earlier N20 billion plan through which it raised and fully repaid N15 billion.

‘This success is a testament to the strength of our diversified business model, market reputation, and creditworthiness,’ said Nola Adetola, managing director and CEO of Veritasi Homes. ‘We appreciate the continued trust of asset managers, insurance firms, and other institutional investors in our vision. The proceeds will support working capital needs and enhance operational efficiency as we continue to scale our real estate projects.’

Pathway Advisors acted as Financial Adviser, Transaction Sponsor, and Lead Arranger on the transaction. The firm has gained prominence for structuring corporate debt and facilitating access to short-term financing in Nigeria’s capital market.

‘We are proud to have supported Veritasi Homes on another successful issuance,’ said Adekunle Alade, founder and CEO of Pathway Advisors. ‘The oversubscription demonstrates the market’s confidence in Veritasi’s governance, performance, and credit history. Since 2022, Veritasi has built a solid track record of issuing and redeeming its obligations in full, a key factor that continues to attract investors.’

Alade reaffirmed Pathway Advisors’ commitment to helping credible issuers tap both short- and long-term funding opportunities, describing the Veritasi deal as another milestone in Nigeria’s evolving corporate debt market.

The oversubscription of Veritasi’s debut issuance under the new programme highlights sustained investor appetite for well-rated issuers in the non-bank corporate space, even amid tight liquidity conditions and rising yields in Nigeria’s fixed-income market.

DSS alerts Nigerians to another fake operative defrauding public

The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned against one Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, a dismissed officer allegedly impersonating its personnel to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.

The agency, in a statement, said Godwin had been parading himself as a serving DSS operative and carrying out fraudulent activities under the guise of official representation.

‘The Department of State Services (DSS) hereby alerts members of the public of the activities of one Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, a dismissed staff.

‘He is reportedly engaging in unscrupulous activities, including using the name of the Service to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. Members of the public are therefore advised to desist from any dealings with him’, the statement read.

The DSS urged citizens to be vigilant and verify the identity of anyone claiming to represent the Service before engaging in any form of transaction or commitment.

It advised that all legitimate enquiries or complaints should be channelled through its official contact lines, telephone number 09088373515 or email [email protected].

Reaffirming its commitment to integrity and accountability, the Service warned that anyone found impersonating its personnel or engaging in related fraudulent acts would be prosecuted.

The agency added that the latest advisory follows a similar warning issued last week concerning Barry Donald, another dismissed officer, who was also accused of impersonating DSS officials to swindle members of the public.

According to the DSS, such cases of impersonation threaten the Service’s integrity and public confidence, adding that it will continue to expose and prosecute those attempting to exploit its name for criminal gain.

How Agricon West Africa turned to gas-powered energy to drive food production

Agricon West Africa Limited is rewriting the narrative of agricultural processing in Nigeria by harnessing gas-powered energy to fuel its ambitious rice production. Despite the challenges posed by unstable grid supply, Agricon is demonstrating resilience and innovation in a sector often hindered by energy limitations.

Established in 2022, Agricon entered Nigeria’s agricultural space with a bold mission: to process homegrown rice at scale and reduce the country’s dependence on imports. With a 240-ton-per-day parboiling capacity, the company aligned its operations with government policies promoting self-sufficiency in food production.

However, the journey was not without hurdles. According to Emmanuel Njin, Plant Manager at Agricon, energy was the biggest challenge from the outset. Initially reliant on diesel generators, the company faced high fuel costs and limited operational efficiency-an all-too-common reality for many Nigerian businesses.

Running diesel generators was a huge financial burden, responsible for a larger running cost with less output,’ explained Emmanuel Njin, plant manager at Agricon West Africa Limited.

Faced with mounting fuel bills and stalled production, Agricon’s management sought a more sustainable and cost-effective energy solution-one that would ensure stable power and save between 60% and 65% of energy costs, while aligning with global calls for cleaner energy. Their answer was a 1.5MW Jenbacher plant, powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).

Compared to diesel, the gas-powered generator cut fuel consumption by half, while delivering better and more reliable performance. Beyond the economic benefits, the environmental impact was also significant. ‘The emission of filtered and clean exhaust gases is another advantage,’ Njin noted, highlighting the power plant’s contribution to reducing carbon footprint and promoting greener industrial practices.

Agricon’s energy transition not only improved operational efficiency but also reinforced its commitment to sustainable agriculture and local food production-a model for other Nigerian businesses navigating similar challenges

Agricon selected Clarke Energy, the authorised distributor of Jenbacher gas engines in Nigeria, to deliver its 1.5MW gas power plant, including the front-end engineering design (FEED), commissioning and currently provides maintenance for the equipment.

‘Clarke Energy services have been excellent,’ Njin said, praising the company’s responsiveness in servicing the plant before, during, and after maintenance. The solution has relieved Agricon from the instability of the national grid while providing a sustainable and cost-effective energy lifeline.

Yiannis Tsantilas, Managing Director of Clarke Energy in Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasised the critical role of food in national development, stating:

‘Food is a fundamental human necessity-essential not only for survival and overall well-being, but also a cornerstone of national security. It underpins economic, social, and political stability across the globe.’

He highlighted rice as a staple food for many Nigerians, noting its importance in providing energy and essential nutrients for a healthy living.

‘At Clarke Energy, we believe that resilience in Nigeria’s production processes must include access to reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy alternatives, which is the bedrock to building a sustainable economy.’

Tsantilas commended Agricon West Africa Limited for its commitment to food security, recognising its efforts to deliver nutritious and locally processed food to Nigerian families. He celebrated their investment in energy infrastructure:

‘Their investment in a 1.5MW power plant is a testament to their visionary leadership and commitment to sustainable growth. We are proud to partner with Agricon West Africa Limited to help scale their operations and ensure their lights are always on.’

Agricon’s energy story stands as an example for other industries grappling with Nigeria’s perennial power shortages. By leveraging CNG-powered generation, the company demonstrates how businesses can achieve both operational stability and environmental responsibility.

The switch to gas aligns with Nigeria’s gradual embrace of gas as a transition fuel. With abundant natural gas reserves, the federal government has been promoting the adoption of natural gas as part of its strategy to reduce reliance on imported fuel, lower emissions, and strengthen local industries.

For Agricon, the move has already paid off. Energy is no longer a stumbling block but a foundation for growth. The company is now positioned to focus on scaling production, reaching new markets, and competing on the global stage, all powered by a more reliable, eco-friendly energy source.

Nigeria’s energy crisis remains largely unresolved. National grid outages and reliance on diesel generators continue to limit manufacturing, agriculture, and services. Yet companies like Agricon are proving that alternatives exist. By investing in gas-powered technology, they are not only reducing costs but also helping the nation edge closer to sustainable industrialisation.

As the country strives for food self-sufficiency, Agricon West Africa’s blend of agricultural innovation and energy resilience provides a template for progress. With the proper infrastructure, policy support, and investment, Nigeria could unlock similar success stories across multiple sectors.

For now, the hum of a Jenbacher generator symbolises more than just electricity. It represents hope for farmers, consumers, and a nation eager to power its future sustainably.

ASUU Strike: UniJos campus deserted as academic staff stay away

The University of Jos on Monday joined the two-week warning strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), effectively grounding all academic activities on campus.

The university’s main gate was partially closed, indicating limited access, while students lingered around without direction. Notably, academic staff were absent from campus, in line with the nationwide strike directive issued by ASUU’s national leadership.

Royal Exchange repositions for growth with stronger bottom-line

Royal Exchange Plc is out of the woods, as its recent restructuring has paid off with strong bottom line at the end of 2024 financial year.

The Company, which currently has base in asset management, says it has positioned its operations to deliver value in the financial services market for value creation to its teaming shareholders.

Kenny Ezenwani Odogwu, chairman of the company speaking at its 56th Annual General Meeting held in Lagos said the group delivered positive earnings performance at the end of 2024 financial year, attributing it to increased revenue from investment and share of profit in associate companies contributing to the groups overall top line.

He disclosed that Royal Exchange recorded N1.614 billion in earned revenue at the end of 2024, as against N767.4 million in 2023, a 110 percent increase.

According to him, the Company’s Profit Before Tax (PBT) was N1.029 billion, indicating a 609 percent growth from a loss position of N201.988 million in 2023, while the Profit After Tax (PAT) was N1.005 billion, as against a loss position of N206.218 million in 2023, a 588 percent increase.

Odogwu said, ‘Royal Exchange remains focused on two key objectives – Consolidating our asset management expertise through driving growth and profitability across our investee companies, and leveraging on our diversified portfolio which we have repositioned strategically for long-term value creation.

He said with the appointment of a female chief executive officer, Idu Okeahialam, the Company has taken a bold step to drive its growth agenda, noting that Idu has a wealth of experience across the financial services sector and expressed optimism in her capacity to lead the company to great heights, with support of all the board members.

Speaking further on its performance he said: ‘Royal Exchange boasts a robust liquidity position and healthy cash flow, providing flexibility for future investment opportunities.

‘We remain dedicated to capitalizing on market opportunities and ultimately generating value for shareholders. This turn around was achieved despite significant global and local economic headwinds, including macroeconomic turbulence, financial market volatility, and domestic challenges-like fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange fluctuations.

Overall, he said Royal Exchange Plc’s FY 2024 performance demonstrates a successful turnaround strategy and strong fundamentals that position the company for continued growth.

This strategic shift according to him is reflected in the positive trend of our financial performance.

He thanked other members of the board and the entire management team for their unwavering cooperation and contributions in 2024, noting that their dedication has been instrumental in achieving our goals.

To the shareholders, he appreciated their continued faith in Royal Exchange, and promised to deliver long-term value and exceeding expectations.

Nigeria, Norway partnership targets inclusive peacebuilding, youth empowerment

‘Nigeria’s youth are no longer a time bomb but our greatest asset’, declared Eghosa Osaghae, Director General, Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), as Nigeria and Norway deepened their partnership to drive inclusive peacebuilding and youth empowerment through research, dialogue, and policy innovation.

At a seminar hosted at the Norwegian Residence in Abuja on Monday, Osaghae, underscored the importance of harnessing Nigeria’s youthful population and promoting women’s inclusion as essential ingredients for lasting peace and national development.

The event, themed Youth and Women, Peace and Security, marked the formal strengthening of institutional collaboration between the NIIA and Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) an outcome of earlier engagements between the two institutions aimed at advancing research and policy exchange on peace, security, and governance.

Osaghae, in his remarks, said the partnership represents ‘the birth of a friendly discussion’ that began a year ago and has now evolved into a platform for shared learning.

He praised PRIO as one of the world’s foremost research institutions in peace and human rights studies, noting that Nigeria’s foreign policy and development trajectory can greatly benefit from evidence-based insights drawn from such collaboration.

He emphasised the centrality of women and youth in shaping peace and stability, stressing that for too long, gender perspectives had been missing in national discussions on conflict resolution.

‘One of the ways of building peace sustainably is to strengthen the roles of women, even within families, because they are the first peacebuilders,’ Osaghae said.

Turning to Nigeria’s demographic outlook, the NIIA chief described the nation’s large youth population as both a challenge and an opportunity.

He highlighted that Nigerian youth have historically driven political activism, innovation, and global recognition through sectors such as technology, creative arts, and sports.

‘What we once feared as a ticking time bomb has become one of Nigeria’s greatest assets,’ he declared, adding that by 2050, the country’s youthful demography could serve as a major driver of global economic relevance if properly harnessed.

Henrik Urdal, PRIO’s Research Professor, presented a report titled Youth Bulges: A Curse or a Blessing?, which examined global and regional patterns of youth population growth and their correlation with stability and development.

Urdal explained that while the global number of youths has plateaued, sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Nigeria continues to record one of the world’s highest youth ratios.

According to him, youth bulges can increase the risk of political instability and armed conflict when job opportunities and social inclusion are limited.

However, he stressed that the narrative can shift positively through investments in education, employment, and health, factors that enable countries to reap a ‘demographic dividend.’

He pointed to the experience of Asian economies in the 1970s and 1980s as examples of how effective policy frameworks can transform large youth populations into engines of growth.

PRIO researchers further contextualised Nigeria’s demographic situation, noting that declining fertility rates and urbanisation trends present an opportunity for economic transformation if supported by human capital development.

‘Nigeria today is demographically where South Korea was in the late 1970s, on the verge of a demographic window that could accelerate growth,’ Urdal said.

Other speakers, warned that without deliberate state investment in youth-focused policies, the country’s population advantage could become a socioeconomic burden.

On his part, Svein Baera, Norway’s Ambassador to Nigeria, acknowledged the complexity of translating sound research into real-world outcomes.

‘Making good policies is not that hard. Implementing them is not that easy’, he observed.

How Antler-backed Forti Foods keeps jollof rice, other dishes fresh for a year

In a bold stride toward food innovation and security, Forti Foods, a Lagos-based startup founded by Adenike Adekunle, is redefining how Nigeria thinks about food production and distribution.

Backed by global early-stage venture capital firm Antler, Forti Foods is producing culturally familiar, fortified, ready-to-eat meals with a 12-month shelf life, all without preservatives or refrigeration.

Forti Foods represents a shift toward smarter, locally driven food systems that reduce waste and improve access to nutrition. Nigeria alone loses nearly 60 percent of farm produce to spoilage due to inadequate processing and storage.

The company’s mission goes beyond convenience. It is tackling deep-seated problems in Nigeria’s food ecosystem-post-harvest losses, poor nutrition, and inefficiencies in large-scale feeding for institutions, humanitarian programs, and remote work environments.

‘Our role at Forti Foods is to support farmers and communities in remarkable ways. We are revolutionising not just how food is produced, but how it is distributed – introducing dignity into food and ensuring that people without regular access to nutritious meals can still enjoy fortified, convenient, and culturally relevant food,’ Adekunle told BusinessDay during the Antler Africa media roundtable in Lagos.

Adekunle’s journey into food innovation began far from home. Based in London for several years, she ran a successful meal-prep company catering to busy Nigerian professionals craving home-cooked meals. She later opened a restaurant and launched Cafe NG at the Nigerian Embassy in London, a space that became a cultural hub for Nigerians abroad.

Her move back to Nigeria marked a turning point. While volunteering with food banks in Lagos in 2018, she witnessed firsthand how chaotic and unsafe food distribution could be. ‘During one outreach, things went terribly wrong, as food wastage, disorder, and even children getting hurt. Despite our good intentions, it showed me how broken food distribution really was. I thought, there has to be a better way,’ she recalled.

That moment inspired Forti Foods, built to solve food delivery challenges with a system that’s efficient, traceable, and dignified.

At its core, Forti Foods produces Fortify Ready-to-Eat Meals, nutrient-rich, shelf-stable dishes designed for scale and safety. These meals are vacuum-sealed and sterilised to eliminate bacteria and oxygen, the main causes of spoilage, thereby allowing them to stay fresh for up to a year without refrigeration.

The process, Adekunle explained, involves no preservatives or artificial additives. ‘It is pure food science and precision. Once the food is cooked, sealed, and sterilised, it stays safe and nutritious for 12 months. All you need to do is heat the pack in hot water before eating,’ she said.

Forti Foods’ menu features dishes Nigerians know and love, including jollof rice, beans porridge, fried rice, rice and beans, tuwo shinkafa with peanut stew and even jollof spaghetti for younger consumers. ‘People eat what they recognize. Give a Nigerian soldier mac and cheese and he may not eat it. But jollof rice? That is comfort food,’ she added.

What sets Forti Foods apart isn’t just convenience, it’s nutrition. The company collaborates with DSM-Firmenich, a global leader in nutrition science, to fortify its meals against hidden hunger and nutrient deficiencies that often go unnoticed.

Each meal aligns with the World Food Programme’s fortification standards for West Africa, containing essential micronutrients like iron, zinc, folic acid, and magnesium. Forti Foods also uses cooking methods that preserve vitamins and minerals, minimizing the nutrient loss that often comes with traditional overcooking.

‘We want to ensure that people get real nourishment, not just calories,’ Adekunle said.

The startup’s first target market is the defense and emergency response sector. Nigeria’s military and humanitarian agencies spend millions annually importing ready-to-eat meals from abroad. Forti Foods provides a locally produced, culturally relevant, and cost-effective alternative, while creating jobs and reducing foreign dependence.

‘Our meals are already being tested in Borno State by a military arm. The feedback has been excellent,’ Adekunle revealed.

Beyond the defense sector, Forti Foods is in talks with schools, boarding institutions, and humanitarian agencies like the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Red Cross. The company’s traceable packaging and streamlined logistics model also ensure accountability in meal distribution, something that is often lacking in relief programs.

With its fusion of food science, local culture, and entrepreneurial vision, Forti Foods is not just preserving Nigerian meals, it is preserving hope, dignity, and the future of sustainable nourishment.

Looking ahead, the company plans to expand into the retail market through a new product line called ‘Chops by Forti Foods’, targeting consumers seeking convenient, nutritious meals for travel, office lunches, and home use.

Forti Foods’ transformation from an idea into an investable venture came through Antler, a global VC firm that backs founders at the earliest stages. Adekunle joined the Antler Lagos (LOS1) cohort after being encouraged by a friend.

‘At first, I didn’t see myself as a ‘startup founder.’ I thought of myself as a restaurateur. But Antler showed me that innovation isn’t limited to tech. Antler gave me the structure, mentorship, and capital to build a scalable solution with real social impact,’ she said with a laugh.

Anil Atmaramani, partner at Antler Africa, praised Forti Foods’ vision as a perfect example of African innovation meeting global standards. ‘Forti Foods is redefining institutional feeding and food distribution through science, efficiency, and cultural authenticity,’ he stated.

Lola Masha, partner at Antler Africa, said the firm was proud to back entrepreneurs like Adekunle who are building transformative solutions that solve real problems for Africa.

Masha noted that Antler’s Lagos and Nairobi residencies have attracted over 20,000 applications and supported 38 founders, with 42 percent female participation, a strong indicator of inclusivity in Africa’s innovation landscape.

‘Forti Foods exemplifies the kind of founder-led resilience we love to see at Antler. Adenike is proving that innovation doesn’t have to come from a lab or a codebase, it can start from the kitchen and grow into a scalable, global business,’ Masha said.

Forti Foods is one of three standout ventures from Antler’s inaugural Lagos cohort (LOS1), alongside Cubbes, an edtech platform transforming how African students learn, and Raba, a lease-to-own financing startup empowering SMEs in manufacturing and food processing.

Together, these startups embody Antler Africa’s mission to catalyze innovation across sectors like food security, education, and industrial financing.

Housing market to receive Eko Paragon’s 105 luxury homes in 12 months

The Nigerian housing market is expectant and getting ready to receive Eko Paragon’s 105 housing units to be delivered in the next 12 months.

AceRoyal Estates Homes, the developer of the estates, say they are on the verge of delivering the luxury units in just 12 months as part of their strides towards bridging Nigeria’s housing deficit.

Eko Paragon is a 5-star hotel-styled residential estate located in the serene Abijo G.R.A., Lagos, and represents a new benchmark for innovation, comfort, and affordability in real estate investment. Endurance Cletus Agonor, AceRoyal Estates managing director and chief executive officer revealed recently that construction, which commenced in February 2025, is nearing completion.

‘Just eight months in, 41 housing units are already fully fitted and ready. Eko Paragon embodies our commitment to delivering affordable yet luxurious housing solutions in collaboration with the Lagos State Property Development Corporation (LSPDC),’ he stated.

Eko Paragon is strategically located within the secure and serene Abijo Government Reserved Area (GRA), just a 10-minute drive from the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Notably, Abijo stands as the only GRA on Lagos Island, offering both exclusivity and accessibility.

Designed to promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle, the estate features modern wellness and fitness facilities, including a gym, tennis courts, and spacious recreational areas.

Inside, each residence showcases exceptional attention to detail – from expansive living areas and kitchens elegantly designed for ease, to bathrooms bigger than typical BQs in Lekki. The estate is also powered by a 24-hour electricity supply, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for all homeowners.

The estate offers a mix of luxury and affordability and comprises three-bedroom terrace duplexes with BQ; two-bedroom signature suites; and one-bedroom executive business suites

‘We have mastered the art of blending comfort, class, elegance, and luxury – all at an unbeatable price,’ Agonor affirmed, adding, ‘our goal is simple: to redefine modern living while keeping it affordable and accessible.’

Clearly, Eko Paragon is a 5-Star Hotel Residence. It is a game changer in Nigeria’s real estate industry, offering residents the exclusive benefit of 5-star hotel services within their homes.

‘Imagine enjoying all the privileges of a luxury hotel – breakfast in bed, professional chef services, laundry, and cleaning services, right from the comfort of your home,’ Agonor explained, stressing, ‘Eko Paragon provides that everyday premium hospitality experience.’

The developer said they were committed to excellence and investor value, describing the project as ‘an A-list affair.’ He emphasized the exceptional level of investment, craftsmanship, and engineering that defines Eko Paragon.

‘From the deep foundation and top-tier materials to expert structural execution and scenic landscaping, every detail reflects our dedication to excellence,’ he said. ‘For us, there’s no better way to demonstrate our commitment than ensuring your investment is safe, secure, grows in value, and is worth more in returns.’
