Irabor said the gains from her journey into real estate was the reason why she is encouraging other women to join and take advantage of the potentials of the sector.

“Now, I am committed to letting more women know that sometimes, when we think that we need some kind of huge money to invest in the real estate, it is a false belief.
“I am the kind of person who once had such belief but with my knowledge in the real sector now, the business can be started off, just like planting a seed as low as N5 million.
“I want to encourage women to start to think of investment in the sector and they should not be discouraged, because real estate is not for big women rather real women,” she said.
