Valuers call for wider land access to ease Nigeria’s housing shortage
Estate surveyors and valuers have urged the Federal Government to improve access to land and expand infrastructure as part of efforts to address Nigeria’s housing deficit. The recommendation links housing supply to the availability of developable land and supporting infrastructure, although the source gives no further details on proposed measures.
Estate surveyors and valuers have urged the Federal Government to improve access to land as part of efforts to address Nigeria’s housing deficit. The professionals also called for expanded infrastructure, identifying both land availability and supporting facilities as issues requiring government attention. Their position was reported by Punch Nigeria, which described the recommendation as a response to the country’s housing shortage.
The available report does not provide the names of the valuers who made the call or specify the scale of the deficit beyond describing it as more than a stated figure in the original headline. The source also does not outline a particular land policy, identify the infrastructure projects being sought or give a timetable for implementation. It nevertheless presents the professionals’ view that improving access to land and expanding infrastructure would help address the shortage of housing.
No response from the Federal Government, or details of any existing programme connected with the recommendation, were included in the supplied material.
