Sade Balogun: Restoring Diaspora Trust and Redefining Real Estate Excellence in Nigeria
For years, many Nigerians living abroad have longed to own homes in their homeland — particularly in Lagos, the nation’s bustling commercial capital. Yet, that dream has often been overshadowed by tales of fraudulent deals, unverified developers, and abandoned projects that left many heartbroken and skeptical.
Amid that uncertainty, one woman is changing the narrative. Sade Balogun, Chief Executive Officer of Amen City Limited, is redefining real estate investment for Nigerians in the diaspora through credibility, transparency, and quality-driven development.
Under her leadership, Amen Estate has become a trusted name in Nigeria’s property market — a brand synonymous with excellence and reliability. Beyond erecting buildings, Sade Balogun is rebuilding confidence in the Nigerian real estate sector, particularly among those abroad who once lost faith in investing back home.
From the iconic Amen Estate Phases 1 and 2 to emerging developments like Tiara by Amen City and Jenifa Gardens, each project stands as a testament to integrity, innovation, and meticulous planning.
Having lived in the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria to establish what is now one of Lagos’s leading real estate firms, Sade brings a global perspective to local development. Her entrepreneurial journey reflects courage and foresight — qualities that have positioned her as a trailblazer in promoting diaspora-driven investments.
Her efforts also align with the Federal Government’s renewed push to attract foreign investment and strengthen key economic sectors. Through transparent ownership structures, flexible payment plans, and credible partnerships, Amen City is creating safe and structured pathways for Nigerians abroad to invest confidently in their homeland.
What sets Sade Balogun apart is her people-centered leadership style. Known for personally leading site tours with clients and her team, she ensures that every development meets the high standards promised under the Amen brand — integrity, safety, and excellence.
In an industry still largely dominated by men, Sade Balogun’s success underscores the power of vision, consistency, and resilience. She is not just building homes; she is building a bridge home — reconnecting Nigerians in the diaspora with their roots and proving that with the right leadership, Nigeria can once again be a trusted destination for real estate investment.
