We go on-site of the construction of Maryland Mall to speak with some of the brains behind the project and get insight on the retail industry in Nigeria. Mr Laide Agboola introduces us to Purple Capital, ‘a specialist investment firm focused on real estate and financial services. We have focused on residential hospitality and retail on the real estate side. On the financial side, we have a couple of interests with our Purple Money- a micro finance bank licensed with the Central bank of Nigeria.’
