Episode notes
Lagos has had a turbulent few weeks — flooding, development debates, infrastructure questions and another round of conversations about what is really happening in the city’s real-estate market.
In Episode 2 of Steeped in Real Estate, Winifred Ogiugo and Valentine Uzor unpack Lagos flooding and ask where responsibility really sits: government planning, developers, citizens, climate pressures — or all of the above.
They discuss the importance of Environmental Impact Assessments, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, drainage and storm-water planning, public waste infrastructure and the debate surrounding Eko Atlantic and the Great Wall of Lagos.
The conversation then moves beyond flooding into Nigerian real-estate trends: C of O misconceptions, land-title verification, the need to digitize land records, diaspora investment opportunities, gaps in the Nigerian economy, rent affordability and the question of whether governments can — or should — regulate real-estate prices.
This is a wide-ranging conversation about the problems, opportunities, and uncomfortable questions shaping the Nigerian property market today.
