The “Realtor of the Year" spoke on his plans to return to his home state, Lagos, and why he is still abroad.
“America is blessed with tons of talents and I believe I can better utilise all my trainings and expertise to help my people. The problem with Nigeria is not corruption but leadership. If you eradicate corruption without good leaders, you are just scratching the surface. My generation has what it takes to move Nigeria to the next level.”
This is not the first Mr. Sanni has received.
After his entry into the American real estate industry in 1994, he won the “Top Listing Award” in July 1995.
