At a recent construction exhibition in Lagos, there was sustained interest from foreign investors in the expanding Nigerian real estate scene.
As house values and land prices are on the rise, this sends a signal to investors that the sector is stable and able to handle an influx of capital and investors from around the globe.
Investors with peaking interest in Nigeria’s real estate scene, varied from China, Saudi Arabia, France, Italy and Germany to name a few.
