What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The housing crisis in Nigeria is escalating, driven by rising production costs and high rents nationwide. Experts have called for urgent government policy solutions to address the housing deficit and improve affordability. One housing sector expert suggested the Federal Government cut taxes associated with cement production and consider subsidies to lower building material costs.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Soaring building material prices, such as cement which has spiked by at least 50 percent, are worsening the housing deficit and making home-ownership unaffordable. High rental costs are consuming a substantial portion of the income of millions of citizens, especially against the backdrop of inflation and stagnant wages.
