Abuja Agog As Ibadin Launches Property Brokers Magazine Amid Pomp, Seeks New Approach to Africa’s Real Estate Development
Publisher and Executive Chairman, Property Brokers International Magazine, Dr. Matthew Ibadin, has said the newly unveiled publication will serve as a credible platform to reshape discourse and practice in the continent’s real estate sector.
Speaking at the official launch of the magazine on Tuesday at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, with the theme “Securing the Future: A New Lens on Africa’s Real Estate Development,” Ibadin said the industry remains “one of the most dynamic drivers of our economy, yet also one of the most misunderstood and vulnerable to sharp practices.”
He explained that the magazine would go beyond print, positioning itself as a trusted bridge between government, investors, institutions, developers, brokers, and the judiciary.
“Our vision is clear to become the most trusted and influential real estate media brand in Africa and the world by providing market intelligence, policy updates, and investigative insights that empower better decision-making,” Ibadin said.
The publisher stressed that the magazine would offer guidance on mortgage loans, land documentation, collateral verification, and dispute resolution, while also supporting government reforms in housing, land management, and urban development.
“This is authority for the property authority, a voice that unites policymakers with innovation and professionalism. Whether you are a co-owner, investor, developer, or policymaker, you will find solutions here,” he assured.
Delivering the keynote address, CEO of Homes and Homes Real Estate Ltd, Mr. Ikem Ume-Ezeoke, commended Ibadin for “bringing a new innovation to the industry,” and noted that Africa must urgently address its housing deficit and rising construction costs.
According to him, the continent’s real estate sector faces critical challenges but also presents huge opportunities if global lessons are adapted locally.
“The housing deficit is estimated at between 17 to 22 billion U.S. dollars. Rising inflation, volatile material costs, and limited access to finance remain serious barriers. Governments must create enabling policies, simplify land acquisition processes, invest in infrastructure, and encourage private sector participation,” Ume-Ezeoke advised.
He recommended stronger mortgage guarantees, incentives for local production of building materials, and partnerships that will drive sustainable growth.
Also speaking at the event, the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, Ajao Saka Adewale, described the magazine as timely, noting its potential to curb sharp practices in the industry.
“With the kind of synergy we are trying to establish now, there will be sanity in real estate. The issue of land grabbing has made investment difficult, with many people losing their money. But with investigative journalists like Dr. Ibadin, we can get at the root of these problems,” Adewale said.
The event attracted industry leaders, policymakers, security agencies, and private sector players who expressed optimism that the magazine would foster transparency and restore investor confidence in Africa’s real estate market.
