She Turned an ABANDONED Island into a 5-star Resort is another episode of my Made in Africa series where I feature black entrepreneurs from all across Africa who have built successful businesses and they tell us how they did it. Today's episode is about Rosemary Okoli who is a Nigerian entrepreneur who designs island destinations and makes them into multi-million dollar travel businesses. She is the brains behind the success of the biggest beachfront in West Africa, the Landmark Beach resort.

She tells us how she left the US to start her business in Nigeria. She also shares with us how she was able to build her business in Nigeria despite facing many challenges and difficulties. In this video, I tour one of the latest beach resorts she designed and manages in Lagos Nigeria and I also show you a new innovative way of managing and owning real estate in Africa. If you have plans of moving to Nigeria and owning real estate, this video is for you. Do like watch and enjoy.
