Addressing Building Collapse challenge
Speaking on the theme of the Conference “Lagos: 21st Century Real Estate Investment Hub“, the Special Adviser explained that there was need for all practitioners in the sector to come together for further engagement and networking with other stakeholders in the real estate sector on how to drive marketing strategies and investment opportunities that would reduce the housing deficit in the State.
