Report: Nigeria Takes Largest Share In New African Housing Units

29/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Business Community has said that Nigeria will continue to account for the largest share of new housing units in Africa and the Middle East regions, due primarily to its large population and fast urbanisation rate. The report noted that the fastest gains were projected for Nigeria, South Africa, and Iraq, as these markets rebound from weak performances posted during the 2014-2019 period.
 
It further revealed that homebuilding activity in the Africa/Mideast region would continue to be driven by urban population growth, increased standards of living, and – aside from 2020, when the region will see a recession brought on by COVID-19 – healthy economic expansion. The number of existing dwellings in the Africa/Mideast region totaled 398 million units in 2019, accounting for 18 per cent of the global housing stock.
 
The report observed that some trends are common among national housing sectors throughout the region. In the first instance, over 72 per cent of the regional housing stock consists of single-family dwellings, reflecting the large rural population, especially in sub-Saharan Africa…

According to Africa report, the West African recovery, which includes Nigeria, is broadly based across sectors and includes banking and insurance, Chauvelot says.
 
Business has been picking up since September after having ground to a standstill and will “definitely” be better this year than in 2020. Haussmann Africa, which builds and designs commercial interiors, is tendering for “three or four” projects in Côte d’Ivoire for which it expects results by the end of February, says Chauvelot in Abidjan.

6/11/2020

0 Comments

 
targeting early-stage startups across sub-Saharan Africa, announced its investment in Nigerian rental financing startup, Kwaba. According to recent reports about 60 per cent of tenants will not be able to pay their house rents in Nigeria in the coming months due to the impact of the pandemic and its crippling effect on household income, jobs and earning powers of people in Lagos. Moreover, six out of every 10-renters will default on their rent payment or struggle to pay because they cannot pay.
 
Kwaba is looking to mitigate this by offering complete rental services to renters, for those in search of new apartments or those renewing their existing rent. It offers quick funds at affordable rates and renters can access further credit facilities to purchase properties…

0 Comments

 
Working with the understanding that housing is the bedrock of economic development and social stability, the Lagos State government, in the past 12 months, completed and delivered 1,576 new homes in its various housing schemes across the state.
 
The completion of these housing schemes is one of the strong footprints of the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who marked his first one year in office a couple of days ago.
 
A sprawling commercial city with an estimated 20 million population, the most outstanding environmental challenge Lagos has is its housing deficit which is both qualitative and quantitative.
