Unlocking Nigeria’s Hidden Wealth Through Professional Property Valuation
The Lagos branch of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers marked its annual Valuation Day with a call to tap into the nation’s untapped land and property wealth. Officials highlighted that thousands of assets remain undervalued or informal, limiting their use as collateral, hindering investment and economic growth. Accurate, standardized valuation can transform untitled land and properties into viable collateral to support small and medium enterprises, attract both local and foreign investors, and foster transparency in markets. Experts stressed that stronger regulatory frameworks and public awareness are key to building investor confidence and unlocking prosperity from real estate assets. Speakers emphasised that professional valuation is more than assigning figures—it’s a critical service that informs decision-making, supports economic planning, and drives job creation across the real estate and financial sectors.
