FG Urged To Simplify Land Documentation

A real estate firm, Gestpoint Nigeria Limited, has implored the Federal Government to simplify the process of land documentation as a measure to enhance housing construction and home ownership across the country.

The Managing Director of Gestpoint Nigeria Limited, Dr Ebenezer Akinrinade, made the call in a recent interview with journalists in Lagos.

According to Akinrinade, the current reality in the sector is that the process of getting land documented is cumbersome and time-consuming across the country, adding that the development impedes investors from Nigeria’s real estate sector.

He said, “The government, especially at the federal level, should consider setting up special funds for operators and providing grant extensions for would-be investors to encourage more developers to embark on real estate development, thereby solving the issue of housing shortfalls.”
