A club owner and proprietor of one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing female soccer outfits, Naija Ratels, Barr. Paul Edeh has enjoined Journalists especially Sports Writers to embrace lucrative means of generating more income beyond their regular take-home.
Barr. Edeh who was a special guest during the maiden Congress of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) FCT chapter last weekend after its election a month ago said with the current economic realities, it has become expedient for media workers to widen their money-making scope in a bid to meet daily expenditures.
The CEO of Naija Ratels cum Real Estate guru is at the forefront of facilitating a large land space operated by the Nigeria Army’s Post-Service Housing Development Ltd (PHDL), where proposed SWAN Smart City will be located within Abuja’s city centre.
He said that timely and viable investment in real estate development can be key in stimulating a sustainable economy for individuals and families.
“The fact remains that the only real and viable business is Real Estate. The risk associated with it is very minimal provided you are on the right path.
“So I will advice all of you to queue into the Smart City project. Even when you don’t intend to build, you can get involved and make extra income with it,” he said.
Earlier, SWAN FCT chairman, Comrade Ndubueze Chidoka had commended the management of PHDL for their partnership and enjoined members to remain optimistic of better times ahead.
Others who spoke during the Congress including the Group Sports Editor Nigerian Pilot Mr. Asueliemen Osasuyi, former Correspondents Chapel Chairman; Comrade Raphael Ekpang, former SWAN FCT chairman and Bureau Chief of Daily Independent Comrade Tony Ezimako, SWAN Secretary-General Mr. Jude Opara among others applauded the initiative.
However, the Executive Director News, Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Suleiman Ahaziah, enjoined members to remain united and focused in their professional pursuit.
A committee was later set up by the Congress to drive the process of members’ drive in securing desirable individual building space within the PHDL property.
