Choosing where to invest is as important as what you buy. In 2025, these five cities stand out for strong rental demand, infrastructure growth, and investor-friendly projects.
1. Lagos
Still Nigeria’s commercial powerhouse. Lekki, Epe, and Ajah lead in land appreciation. Short-let apartments in Victoria Island remain lucrative.
2. Abuja
Political stability and steady government spending keep demand high. Gwarinpa and Jabi offer strong rental yields.
3. Ibadan
Lower entry costs with fast-growing demand. Key for land banking as new roads and industrial projects take shape.
4. Port Harcourt
Oil sector money fuels demand for luxury apartments and office spaces. Old GRA and Trans Amadi are investor favourites.
5. Enugu
Steady migration from nearby states is driving demand for affordable housing. Developers are launching gated communities.
My Take
If you want quick ROI, Lagos and Abuja are your go-tos. For long-term capital gains, Ibadan and Enugu are smart bets.
