Understanding land affordability determinants through the lens of ethnic and religious affiliations Samson Efuwape Agbato, Tajudeen Bioye Aluko, Timothy Tunde Oladokun, Ayodele Samuel Adegoke, Rotimi Boluwatife Abidoye Property Management, 2025 PurposeSeveral institutions increasingly recognise their role in addressing the global housing crisis with initiatives focused on fostering land access by people who identify with them. This study examined land affordability through the lens of ethnic and religious affiliations to provide useful information for addressing housing deficits in developing countries.Design/methodology/approachThe research questionnaire was administered to 154 and 151 household heads in Redemption City and Amuwo-Odofin, respectively. A questionnaire was used in data collection and data were analysed using frequencies, means, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and Cronbach’s Alpha test. The results showed the significance of 14 factors as determinants of land affordability from ethnic and religious affiliation perspectives.FindingsThe results showed that the respondents agreed that 14 factors were significant determinants of land affordability from ethnic and religious affiliation perspectives. These factors include membership of other social organisations, social status, membership of cooperative societies, absence of land grabbers, access to smaller plot sizes, evidence of ethnic affiliation, subsidised land registration, favourable policies on land transfer, cultural/traditional status, and affiliation to the predominant ethnic group with mean scores above 3.0. With a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.896, the EFA grouped the factors into three dimensions: socio-ethnic inclusion (containing 12 items), religious obligations (containing two items), and religious status (containing two items). With the respective Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.973, 0.934, and 0.786, these three new factors had internal consistency.Practical implicationsThe study underscores the need for nuanced policy interventions in Nigeria, targeting ethnic and religious affiliations as key factors of land affordability. Emphasising inclusivity, the research advocates for initiatives reinforcing land tenure security and community engagement to mitigate disparities and promote sustainable development within the housing sector.Originality/valueThis study’s novelty is unparalleled as it represents the first attempt to examine the determinants of land affordability from the perspective of ethnic and religious affiliations.

Adoption of professional indemnity insurance among estate surveying and valuation firms in Oyo State, Nigeria Immaculata Anthony Ekpo, Timothy Tunde Oladokun Property Management, 2023 PurposeErrors or negligence are inherent parts of professional services, thus necessitating the adoption of professional indemnity insurance (PII) as a risk management tool to protect professional interest. This paper sought to examine the adoption of PII among Estate Surveying and Valuation firms in Oyo State, Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThe quantitative research methodology was adopted, and primary data were collected via questionnaires distributed to 84 purposively selected Estate Surveyors and Valuers (ESVs) who are mostly principal partners or branch managers in the study area. Sixty-three questionnaires representing 75.0% were returned and found useable. Data collected were analysed with the aid of descriptive statistics of percentages and relative importance index (RII).FindingsThe study found that the influence of foreign investors as well as the requirements of PII by the professional body as a basis for annual license renewal were responsible for higher level of awareness among the practitioners. However, about average of the firms had adopted PII with few taking professional insurance policy of as low as ₦500,000 per annum. The study recommends that NIESV/ESVARBON should sensitize, monitor and enforce the adoption of PII by ESVs as a means to increase public confidence and credibility of valuers while rendering professional services to clients.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study was limited in coverage to Ibadan thus necessitating a study with wider area of coverage of national status.Practical implicationsThe study has major implications on real estate education and practice in Nigeria. There is an urgent need for the professional body to devise means of enforcing compliance with the adoption of PII so as to be able to get the confidence of their teeming clients for subsequent patronage.Originality/valueThe paper is one among the scanty studies that provides a useful guide to real estate practitioners in developing countries towards adopting PII to shield the company from unnecessary negative exposure and financial loss.
Key performance indicators in real estate professional business in Lagos, Nigeria James O. Ogunbiyi, Timothy T. Oladokun Journal of General Management, 2023 The paper evaluated key indicators adopted by practitioners to drive the performance of real estate consulting firms of estate surveying and valuation in Lagos, Nigeria. Using probabilistic sampling technique, the study empirically found that, to achieve effective performance, estate firms considered annual revenue and return on investment crucial to their operations (financial indicators). The study also found that the non-financial indicators that were key to performance in the real estate business included improved standards, workplace satisfaction, and prompt payments for executed jobs; clients' satisfaction, referrals, and revenue increase. Established and aspiring real estate professionals will find the study beneficial in defining performance strategies for their respective firms. In other words, this study will assist real estate practitioners in determining where they should focus their efforts in order to prosper in business today and through the next decade. The study was an exploratory evaluation of the use of KPIs as a major driver of performance in the business of estate surveying and valuation.
Affordability of low-cost land allocation: a perspective of non-economic criteria Samson Efuwape Agbato, Tajudeen Bioye Aluko, Timothy Tunde Oladokun, Ayodele Samuel Adegoke Property Management, 2023 PurposeBeyond the economic determinants, non-economic criteria of land affordability are also of great importance. From the context of emerging economies, this study investigated the affordability of low-cost land allocation through the lens of non-economic criteria.Design/methodology/approachGiven that the non-economic criteria considered are those related to religion and politics, data were elicited from the owners of residential plots at Redemption City and Ikosi Residential Scheme respectively in Nigeria. The data collected were analysed using statistical methods of analysis: mean and standard deviation.FindingsThe result showed that safety and comfort, quality management, proximity to market, proximity to public transportation and proximity to health facilities were the significant non-economic criteria at Redemption City. On the other hand, the non-economic criteria found to be significant at Ikosi Residential Scheme were proximity to public transport, safety and comfort, low presence of environmental problems and income ratio.Practical implicationsThis study informs the promotion of private and public partnerships towards reducing the housing deficit in emerging economies. Also, it would help in the formulation and review of land policies, which would benefit not only their members.Originality/valueThis study is among the few that have looked at the non-economic criteria of land affordability, especially in emerging economies.
