    Firm unveils expansion plans, others

    Gtext Holdings, in partnership with SACI Holdings, has rolled out expansion plans at the 10th anniversary of its real estate arm with a press event and praise session at Delborough Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

    The celebration brought together staff, partners and stakeholders, with the company unveiling subsidiaries, a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-licensed acquisition, and plans for a Guinness World Record attempt.

    Founder and Chairman, Dr. Stephen Akintayo, described the milestone as proof of stability.

    “Ten years means you have your footing. In a world where companies crash in two to three years, surviving 10 years in real estate shows your foundation is solid,” he said.

    Akintayo noted the group’s private equity structure has been central to its growth.

    “Our private equity structure allows us to identify and grow top businesses. These strategic moves are part of a broader vision to deliver value in real estate, finance and technology,” he said.

    He added that the anniversary marked a springboard for broader expansion.

    “Our journey has always been about scale and sustainability. As we enter our second decade, we remain focused on innovation, investor trust and building communities that last,” he added.

    A highlight of the announcements was the acquisition of a Nigerian firm licensed by the SEC to provide fund management, asset management and private equity services. Akintayo explained that the acquisition would further strengthen Gtext’s credibility with investors.

    “This acquisition underscores our commitment to regulatory compliance and investor trust. We are awaiting SEC approval for a rebrand, which will position the entity as a stronger platform for diversified investments,” he said.

    Chief Executive Officer, Soonie Osuki, disclosed that the group has also launched a new subsidiary, Gtext Construction, to handle the construction value chain.

    She explained that the unit would drive quality assurance, cost efficiency and timely delivery, while bringing to life Gtext’s “Green and Smart” estate concepts.

    The company also recognised staff members who have served for over a decade, rewarding more than 14 pioneer employees with land, international trips and cash gifts.

    “Our people are our greatest asset. Their loyalty and dedication have been the foundation of our success,” said one of the awardees, Vivian Amaechi.

    Group Chief Operations Officer, Bukola Lukan, clarified that Gtext USA and Gtext Nigeria remain distinct legal entities, each regulated separately but driven by the same vision.

    In line with its global ambitions, the group announced plans to host the Largest Real Estate Conference in the World in a Tent on December 20, 2025. The Guinness World Record attempt is expected to attract 10,000 physical attendees and over 100,000 virtual participants.

  • Why we relaunched our 24/7 customer relations solution by Gtext Holdings

    Why we relaunched our 24/7 customer relations solution by Gtext Holdings

    Gtext Holdings, a leading global real estate firm, has relaunched its 24-hour customer relations solution to cater for the brand’s rapidly expanding list of clients. 

     The initiative, which was originally introduced to rejuvenate the customer experience of the leading real estate brand was conceived in 2020, shortly after the COVID-19 wave that halted many physical operations around the world. 

    The event, which had several members of the top management of the organization in attendance was an opportunity to celebrate the many wins of the company in the last few years. 

    The management had revealed that the development was initially designed to cater for clients based both abroad and in Nigeria, but is now devised to cater for all manner of clients in whatever geographical location or time zone.

    According to Dr Stephen Akintayo, Chairman of Gtext Holdings, the event was to serve as a reminder that the initiative works, and would  create a closer relationship with the customers and associates. 

    He also explained that this initiative is positioned to make the firm emerge as Africa’s leading destination for real estate products.

    “Our goal is to rejuvenate the 24/7 customer service. We now have people to respond to calls at any time of the day.

    This has been a major issue because our new reality is that the majority of our customers are in the diaspora. 

    If you look at those in Canada and in the US, the time they close from work is around 10:00 am, 11:00 am Nigerian time. 

    If we don’t have a system in place to attend to them at their own convenience, then we might have issues. 

     “We started this initiative in 2020 just after COVID-19 and we felt that somehow the structure got a bit relaxed. There was a need to rebrand. Of course, we now have a full operation plan for this. 

    Our new office here in Ikoyi, is not basically for guests, it’s mainly for this 24/7 operations and being able to attend to client needs. 

    We believe strongly that we are repositioning ourselves to take good care of our customers and attend to all their needs. 

    I’m also happy that Gtext and Associates are involved because I want us to build a customer support initiative that is all-around. 

    Associates can call about their commissions, customers can call about a new product and associates can call in concerning business updates, people can call in for training and programs no matter anywhere in the world. 

    Having in mind that the people who sell for us at the moment are not even Nigerians,” he stated. 

    At the event, a top member of management, Vivian Amaechi stated: “I’m so excited that we are starting this all over again. 

    ‘’This is another step ahead of what we have been doing over the years. 

    ‘’This further places us in a class of our own as a brand that is customer-oriented. 

    ‘’We are drawn closely to our customers and we promise to be truly 24/7 and attend to all their needs as soon as practicable.” 

     In the same vein, Toyin Ajiboye. 

    Head of customer fulfilment, Gtext Holdings, expressed delight at the relaunch.

    She said: “I’m super excited my team is leading this initiative. 

     ‘’We promise to be there at every time you get to call. 

    ‘’We promise to always have answers to your requests.”
