What happened
The House of Representatives called for a comprehensive regulatory framework for Nigeria’s real estate sector. Abdulmumini Jibrin, Chairman of the House Committee on Housing and Habitat, proposed establishing a National Real Estate Regulatory Authority. This authority would address institutional gaps, overlapping responsibilities, and weak consumer protection in the sector.
