Samuel Ekpe Adamu (born 13 December 1989) is a Nigerian businessman, banker, and real estate developer known for his contributions to the housing sector in Nigeria.
Early life and education
[edit]Samuel Ekpe Adamu was born in Kaduna, Kaduna State, Nigeria,[1][2] and was raised in a family of eight children.[1] His family hails from Benin City, Edo State. In 2000, his family was displaced due to the Sharia crisis,[3][4][5][6] leading to their temporary relocation to a military barracks before eventually returning to their ancestral village.[2]
Adamu began his education at Army Children School in Kaduna.[1][2][3] Due to regional unrest, his family moved to Abuja, where he continued his studies at Lucy Memorial Nursery and Primary School.[1] For secondary education, he attended Model Government College in Suleja before completing his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WAEC) at Talent International College in Kaduna.[1]
Career
[edit]Adamu started his professional journey in the banking sector,[7] where he developed financial expertise that later guided his transition into real estate.[7][8] His initial involvement in the construction industry included working as a mason and selling building materials such as sand and stones. In addition to his business endeavors, he briefly pursued a career in music, which ended in 2007 following an incident during his first major performance. Encouraged by his father, he shifted his focus towards education and professional growth.[4] As a real estate developer, Adamu has concentrated on creating secure and legally compliant housing projects. His work aims to provide stable residential environments, inspired by his personal experiences with displacement.[4]

- Community Housing Initiative': A program aimed at providing affordable housing for displaced families.[8][9]
