Messrs Legrande Properties Development Company Limited, a Lagos-based developer, has implored Nigerian governments at federal and state levels to ensure development of a new housing policy that will eradicate substandard building materials, while regulating the real estate sector. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the firm, Mr. Babajide Durojaiye, spoke to journalists after the presentation of an award to the company in Lagos State. He noted that the government should be able to ensure the regulation of the real estate sector.
If this is done, it would be easier to access and afford homes. He also decried the existing double taxation for developers. This taxation, according to him, causes an increment in the cost of housing for potential homebuyers, even as it contributes to the availability of substandard materials in the market. He stated that housing in cities in Lagos, Rivers and Abuja, Nigeria, are overpriced, and this overpricing causes discouragement to property investors in the aforementioned locations.

Developers in the industry have contributed to the development of Lagos.
Elkanah Mowarin, the Executive Director of EOM Business Network, implored developers not to relent in their positive influence of the real estate initiative.

Environmental degradation can lead to serious health and safety risks.
Additionally, the value or devalue of real estate depends on the extent of environmental degradation that has been done. Environmental degradation can lead to serious health and safety risks.
