This document analyzes the legal framework for international real estate investment in Nigeria. It discusses how an unclear legal framework, institutional complexity, and variations in market conduct have deterred many foreign investors. The document examines Nigerian laws and regulations governing foreign real estate investment, focusing on investor protection, administrative burdens, and regulatory limitations. It argues that establishing strong legal protections for property rights and increasing transparency of institutional structures would help attract more foreign direct investment to Nigeria's real estate sector.

The document analyzes the performance of real estate investments in Onitsha, Nigeria and investments in bank shares from 2000-2010. Data on property rental values, capital values, bank share prices and dividends were collected from valuation firms, banks, and the stock exchange. The results showed that residential properties had an average annual return of 9.59%, standard deviation of 3.35%, and coefficient of variation of 0.34, indicating lower risk. Bank shares had a higher average annual return of 16.64% but also higher risk as evidenced by a standard deviation of 38.86% and coefficient of variation of 2.34. Therefore, the analysis found that real estate investments in Onitsha performed better and were less risky
Foreign Investment and Its Effect on the Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Triang...iosrjce
Evidence abound about the registered increase in foreign investment inflows in recent years. While
proponents emphasize that these inflows could engender economic growth, critics express concern that there
could be destabilizing effect on the economy if not well managed. This study therefore, attempts to examine the
effect of foreign investments (disaggregated into foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment)
inflows on economic growth in Nigeria with a view to ascertaining the better contributor, using time series data
from 1987-2012. The OLS and the Granger causality procedures were employed in analyzing the data. The
result displays that both foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment have positive and significant
effect on economic growth though the partial correlation coefficients show that foreign portfolio investment is
the better contributor. Based on the result, government should pursue policies that encourage both foreign
direct investment and especially foreign portfolio investment.

This study empirically investigates the effects of foreign financial resource inflows on stock market development in Nigeria and Ghana between 1988-2011 for Nigeria and 1991-2011 for Ghana. Using market capitalization to GDP ratio as a proxy for stock market development and multiple linear regression analysis, the study finds that foreign direct investment, foreign portfolio investment, personal remittances, and official development assistance were positively related to stock market development in Nigeria, though official development assistance was insignificant. In Ghana, foreign direct investment, personal remittances, and external debt were negatively related to stock market development, while official development assistance was positively related. The study aims to contribute to existing literature by investigating the effects of multiple components of foreign financial inflows on stock

This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and stock market development on economic growth in Nigeria from 1980 to 2009. It employs techniques such as unit root testing, cointegration, and error correction modeling. The results show that both lagged FDI and lagged stock market development, as measured by market capitalization as a percentage of GDP, have a small but statistically significant positive effect on economic growth. Trend results indicate that FDI and stock market development experience cyclical movements. Lagged exchange rate is also found to have a positive impact on growth, suggesting that exchange rate appreciation enhances growth in Nigeria. The findings suggest more investment is needed in these markets to boost economic growth.

The main goal of the current study is to investigate how conventional and institutional factors affect foreign direct investment in particular global emerging markets. The study specifically seeks to determine the impact of GDP Growth, Population Growth, Level of Inflation, Trade Openness, Voice and Accountability, Rule of Law, Control of Corruption, Political Stability, and Government Effectiveness which are institutional determinants on FDI Inflows towards the Global Emerging Markets. To approach the research question a panel regression analysis has been applied by leveraging annual data from 18 countries, namely Angola, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea and Vietnam. Findings show that inflation and GDP have a significant and positive effect on the FDI inflows, while Voice and Accountability is significant but negative towards the examined variable. Manolis I.

These measures are generally known as measures of indirect expropriation or nationalization.
Tax Incentives and Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeriaiosrjce
Given the significance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to economic growth and the use of tax
incentives as a strategy among government of various countries to attract FDI, this study examines the influence
of tax incentives in the decision of an investor to locate FDI in Nigeria. Data were drawn from annual statistical
bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the World Bank World Development Indicators Database. The work
employs a model of multiple regressions using static Error Correction Modelling (ECM) to determine the time
series properties of tax incentives captured by annual tax revenue as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product
(GDP)and FDI. The result showed that FDI response to tax incentives is negatively significant, that is, increase
in tax incentives does not bring about a corresponding increase in FDI. Based on the findings, the paper
recommends, amongst others, that dependence on tax incentives should be reduced and more attention be put on
other incentives strategies such as stable economic reforms and stable political climate.

LAND TITLE CONFLICTS AND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT IN RIVERS STATEAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : Land titling and property development are two processes which are important in real estate
investment decision-making and investment itself. . Land title guarantees certainty of ownership of a site for real
estate construction and development to take place, hence, real estate investments consist of developments on
land.Land Titling protects an individual‟s right and by extension any improvement upon the land in the form of
property investment. It excludes others from appropriating the fruits of an investors investments. Unfortunately,
Land ownership conflicts as well as the ignoring the and neglecting land issues in post-conflict situations often
have extensive negative effects on economic, social, spatial and ecological development. Solving and preventing
land conflicts as well as addressing land issues responsibly in both conflict and post-conflict situations is key to
sustainable development. It is also crucial for peace and stability, and the realization of human rights. Priority
attention on land conflict prevention and solutions, coupled with the establishment of a responsible land
governance framework, is a key cornerstone for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The
study examined thecharacteristics and nature of land title conflicts in Rivers State, Nigeria, and how it interferes
with real estate development and investment prospects. The methodology had a largely pragmatic undertone and
research philosophy. It employed the use of qualitative research instruments in the data collection and analysis.
Archival review of documents with , content and thematic analysis led to the study‟s findings. The findings
revealed that trespass, encroachment, doubleor multiple sales and allocation are the major sources of land title
conflicts which negate and impede sustainable land titling and subsequently real property investment and
Stock investment: Factors influencing stock exchange in banking sectorIJAEMSJORNAL
Mainly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that influence stock market investment in Kurdistan, specifically in Erbil. Emerging markets can also benefit from these marketplaces in order to improve their economies; however, certain emerging countries may be inexperienced with the procedure at this point in time. If you are a business searching for profitable investment options, the stock exchange is an excellent choice. Because these markets are where monetary transactions take place, investors often take their chances in these markets based on research into projected earnings and risks associated with those investments. Due to the enormous risks involved with high-revenue investments, most investors prefer low-risk, low-revenue enterprises instead of high-revenue ones. The current research was conducted in a quantitative manner, which was then examined. The research was carried out in the Iraqi city of Erbil. Following the distribution of 95 surveys, only 82 questionnaires were received and properly completed by the researcher. An investigation into the elements that influence stock market investing was carried out by the researcher using single regression analysis. Following that, there is a strong relationship between supply and demand, which is represented by the economy factor, which is represented by a third component called competition, and finally the political aspect, which is represented by the lowest value. According to the data, supply and demand appear to have a significant impact on the amount of money invested in Kurdistan's stock exchange.
Real estate represents approximately half of the world's total economic wealth. It includes not just homes but also workplaces, commerce locations, worship locations, and more. Real estate investment in India is growing rapidly due to strong economic growth and favorable demographics. While prices rose quickly in recent years, the market is now undergoing some price corrections. However, long-term demand is expected to remain high given India's population and housing shortage. Most real estate transactions now begin online, making internet marketing essential for real estate businesses.

The document discusses the Indian real estate sector. It notes that India is expected to become one of the largest economies in the world by 2050. The real estate sector is a major driver of the Indian economy, contributing around 5-6% to GDP. However, the sector has faced challenges such as unorganized growth, stringent FDI policies, and regulatory complexities. Recent reforms have liberalized FDI and modernized land records. Going forward, the sector is expected to grow significantly to meet rising housing and infrastructure demands, though it faces risks such as market transparency and macroeconomic volatility. The document advocates learning from China's experience to further develop the Indian real estate sector.
This document provides an overview of foreign investment in the energy sectors of Bolivia and Ecuador. It discusses how both countries initially liberalized their economies and energy laws in the 1980s-1990s to attract foreign investment and partnerships in oil/gas projects. However, in the late 1990s/2000s, both experienced a rise in resource nationalism as left-wing governments sought greater state control over natural resources. This led to disputes between investors and the states and cases at ICSID. The document examines the cycle of resource nationalism and how international investment law aims to balance state sovereignty and investor protections.

It finds that both FDI and lagged stock market development have a small but statistically significant positive effect on economic growth. The results support the argument that extractive FDI and stock market development enhance growth. However, both FDI and stock market development show cyclical movements over time. Lagged exchange rate appreciation is also found to positively impact growth in Nigeria. The study aims to fill a gap by examining the joint impact of FDI and stock market development on growth, which has not been the focus of prior research on Nigeria.
Catalysts and barriers to foreign direct investment in ghanaAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that investigated factors influencing foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ghana. The study found that abundant natural resources, political stability, cheap labor, and growing markets encourage FDI in Ghana. However, poor ICT infrastructure, volatile exchange rates, unreliable energy and water supplies, and a poor road network inhibit FDI inflows. The document provides background on theories of how FDI impacts economic growth and reviews literature on determinants and barriers of FDI.
A Comparative Study of Foreign Investment Regulations in India and Major Worl...IRJET Journal
This document compares the foreign investment regulations of India and major world economies. It discusses how regulations differ between open and closed economies, with open economies generally having less stringent regulations. While developed countries now advocate for free investment, the document notes that countries like the US, UK, France, Germany, and others regulated foreign investment heavily when they were developing in order to protect domestic industries. The document aims to analyze regulatory frameworks, the impact of regulations in India, and measures China has taken to improve foreign direct investment that India could potentially emulate.

The document discusses real estate investment and management strategies in Nigeria in light of the global economic meltdown. It makes three key points:
1) Real estate investment is capital-driven and requires good management to meet investment objectives and realize long-term goals, yet Nigeria's real estate sector faces many challenges that have been exacerbated by the global economic crisis. These include housing shortages, abandoned projects, and dilapidated properties.
2) Investment in Nigeria's real estate has long faced issues like policy inconsistency, an undeveloped mortgage system, and broader economic and political instability. The Land Use Act also limits liquidity in real estate investment.
3) To improve the sector, Nigeria requires reforms like making
Do government expenditure and debt affect stock market development in nigeriaAlexander Decker
Government expenditure and debt levels can impact stock market development. This study examines the effect of government spending and debt on the Nigerian stock market from 1981-2012. It finds:
1) Government capital expenditure had a significant negative short-run and long-run effect on stock market transaction values.
2) Government recurrent spending, domestic debt, and external debt did not have statistically significant effects on transaction values in the short-run or long-run.
3) The study uses an error correction model and cointegration analysis to assess the short-run and long-run effects. It finds the variables are cointegrated, indicating a long-run equilibrium relationship between government spending/debt and stock market development in
The global pattern of foreign direct investment in recent yearsAlexander Decker
This document summarizes research on patterns of foreign direct investment (FDI) globally and factors influencing it. It discusses how FDI has shifted from developed to developing countries, especially Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS). It also examines theories around why multinational corporations engage in FDI according to advantages of resources, markets, and costs. Political stability, property rights, tax policy and regulations in host countries impact FDI flows. Capital flight is another factor, as the US benefits from outflows to other nations due to the strength of the dollar.

The document discusses real estate investment and management strategies in Nigeria in light of the global economic meltdown. It makes three key points:
1) Real estate investment is capital-driven and requires good management to meet investment objectives and realize long-term goals, yet Nigeria's real estate sector faces many challenges that have been exacerbated by the global economic crisis. These include housing shortages, abandoned projects, and dilapidated properties.
2) Investment in Nigeria's real estate has long faced issues like policy inconsistency, an undeveloped mortgage system, and broader economic and political instability. The Land Use Act also limits liquidity in real estate investment.
3) To improve the sector, Nigeria requires reforms like making
Do government expenditure and debt affect stock market development in nigeriaAlexander Decker
Government expenditure and debt levels can impact stock market development. This study examines the effect of government spending and debt on the Nigerian stock market from 1981-2012. It finds:
1) Government capital expenditure had a significant negative short-run and long-run effect on stock market transaction values.
2) Government recurrent spending, domestic debt, and external debt did not have statistically significant effects on transaction values in the short-run or long-run.
3) The study uses an error correction model and cointegration analysis to assess the short-run and long-run effects. It finds the variables are cointegrated, indicating a long-run equilibrium relationship between government spending/debt and stock market development in
The global pattern of foreign direct investment in recent yearsAlexander Decker
This document summarizes research on patterns of foreign direct investment (FDI) globally and factors influencing it. It discusses how FDI has shifted from developed to developing countries, especially Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS). It also examines theories around why multinational corporations engage in FDI according to advantages of resources, markets, and costs. Political stability, property rights, tax policy and regulations in host countries impact FDI flows. Capital flight is another factor, as the US benefits from outflows to other nations due to the strength of the dollar.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

Abstract
Real Estate in Nigeria has huge investment potential and remains a virile solution to Nigeria’s quest for economic
development. One of the veritable tools for accelerating development in Nigeria’s real estate is to attract foreign direct
investment (FDI). However due to unclear legal framework, institutional complexity and variation in market conduct, many
foreign investors have doubts about the prudence of investing in Nigeria. This paper examines the extant laws and government
regulations governing international real estate investment in Nigeria with particular reference to investor protection and
administrative burdens and regulatory limitations.
Keywords: Legal framework, Foreign direct investment, International real estate investment Investor protection
1. Introduction
Over the past few years, there has been a growing focus on
Nigeria as international investors increasingly see the
opportunities in resource rich, consumer driven economy of
the most populous nation in Africa with about 163.1 million
population. Even though real estate sector in Nigeria could
be described as moribund because of its contribution of a
paltry 1.79 percent to the nations GDP and the strangulating
18 million housing deficits, it remains a potent solution to
Nigeria’s economic and employment conundrum.
Domestic investment in real estate has proven insufficient to
boost the development of the sector because of the
mismatch between capital requirement and savings capacity.
This is evidenced in the Global Competitiveness Index
2012-2013 which identified access to financing (22.7%) as
the most problematic factor for doing business in Nigeria.
Therefore one of the most plausible ways of accelerating
development in Nigeria’s real estate sector is by attracting
foreign direct investment (FDI). Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) has been defined by International Monetary Fund
(IMF) as “the investments made by a resident entity in one
economy (direct investor) with the objective of obtaining a
lasting interest in an entity resident in an economy other
than that of the investor (direct investment enterprise). The
lasting interest implies the existence of a long term
relationship between the direct investor and the enterprise
and a significant degree of influence on the management of
the enterprise “(IMF, 2001). FD1 is distinguished from
other forms of international movements of capital namely
portfolio investment which refer to short term capital flows
linked to the sale or purchase of financial instruments.
Various authors have identified a number of parameters
which foreign investors take into consideration before
investing. In a survey in UK and Asia, high returns and the
potential for capital appreciation were ranked one and two
as the main reasons to hold foreign property (Lim, 2000).
Three main reasons for investing in emerging markets like
Nigeria have been adduced as follows:
1. Strong economic performance in the economy i.e.
growth potential,
2. The very high returns such economy generates,
3. Additional diversification benefits that may accrue.
Nigeria could be said to be on the positive side of the above
listed indicators as the following trends power Nigeria’s
appeal to foreign investors: growing urbanization,
demography, technological development, natural resources,
emerging political stability and financial deepening amongst
others.
Furthermore, Gbadeba (2012), claimed that Nigeria has one
of the fastest growing economies in the world with great
prospects for investors. Indeed, there are a number of savvy
foreign investors who have been investing in real estate in
Nigeria for a long time and reaping abundantly as evidenced
in the recent sale by a South African company Actis of their
interest in Palms Retail Mall in Lagos, Nigeria. A visit to
major cities in Nigeria like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja,
Kano reveals that real estate is flourishing as those cities
transform the skylines with new retail malls, hotels and
office complexes. The rapid urbanization that is taking place
has even led to the creation of mini cities such as Victoria
Garden City, (VGC), Eko Atlantic city in Lagos among
others.
According to Solnik (1974) despite all this, most
institutional investors still display a reluctance to go
overseas in general and into emerging markets in particular.
One explanation for such reticence is the possibility that
investors impute “extra risks” to foreign investments,
French and Poterba (1991). Chin, Dent and Roberts (2006)
[3]
and Lim, McGreal and Webb (2006) [25]
find via surveys
that particular aspects of the legal framework and legal
regulation are very sensitive for real estate investors’ market
perception. They relate this finding to the immobility of real
estate property and to the complexity of real estate
transactions. La Porta et al. 1997 and 1998) [21]
confirm that
the legal environment strongly determines the size and
extent of a country’s capital market and local companies
ability to receive outside financing. Therefore putting in
place sound legal structures and the protection of property
right will enhance the attractiveness of Nigeria to

international real estate investment. In this paper we review
literature on investor protection, legal framework and
government regulations to emphasize the importance of
these factors in attracting foreign investment. An
examination of the extant laws and regulations together with
administrative burdens associated with foreign investments
will be conducted
Institutional Framework
Institutional complexity and the variation in market conduct
have been identified as the greatest barrier to international
investment in real estate. Consequently Guerts and Jaffe
(1996) [17]
suggest that this “institutional risk” should be a
prime area of concern when contemplating investing in
foreign markets especially into emerging markets where
cultural and legal differences will be even more pronounced.
It follows that unless a foreign investor is fully aware of the
institutional structures, both formal and informal, between
countries and even for segments within a country such
investors are likely to be at a major disadvantage compared
with local market players when they wish to enter the
market. Indeed Gordon (1999) [16]
suggests that the increase
in market transparency in a country’s real estate market is
the price that must be paid for a country to be considered for
admission into today’s global investment market.
Thus, if investors can become more informed of the
institutional structures and business practices of oversea
markets they are more likely to invest in those markets i.e.
“familiarity breeds investments” Stratman (1999) [31]
.
Investor Protection And Legal Framework
Sound legal structures and the protection of property right
influence the attractiveness of countries for any kind of
investment activity, Chin, Dent and Roberts (2006) [3]
and
Lim, McGreal and Webb (2006) [25]
find via surveys that
particular aspects of the legal framework and legal
regulation are very sensitive for real estate investors’ market
perceptions.
They relate this finding to the immobility of real estate
property and to the complexity of real estate transactions.
La Porta et al (1997 and 1988) [21]
confirms that the legal
environment strongly determines the size and extent of a
country’s capital market and local companies ability to
receive outside financing. They emphasize the difference
between law on books and the quality of law enforcement.
La Porta et al (1997) [21]
argue that, of the world’s four legal
systems (English, French, German and Scandinavian), the
English common law system is the most suitable for
enhancing capital market development, while the French
system is the least attractive. Glaser et al (2001) and
Djankor et al (2003 and 2005) suggest that parties in
common-law countries have greater ease in enforcing their
rights arising from commercial contracts. Even so, Knack
and Keefer (1995) [20]
, Mauro (1995) [28]
, and Svensson
(1998) [32]
demonstrate that property rights significantly
affect investments and economic growth.
Administrative burdens and regulatory limitations
Solnik (1999) [30]
argues that investors trying to invest in
foreign countries are exposed to constraints on management
and corporate activity and regulatory limitations, consisting
of the restriction of capital flows and ownership controls
based on particular government policies. D’Arcy and Keogh
(1998) [19]
claim that each country’s real estate market is
conditioned, amongst other things, by landlord and tenant
law, planning law and urban policy. There-fore the burden
of doing real estate business and taxation are considered to
directly affect the operational efficiencies of any
transaction. Webb (1984) [33]
, Worzala (1994) [26]
and Adair
et al (1999) [1]
note that this significantly affects foreign
investors at three times: when investing, operating or exiting
a market.
McGreal, Parsa and Keivani (2001) [1]
argue that regulatory
limitations, exchange controls and the repatriation of capital
restrain international capital flows and hence, are a major
source of concern for investors. Host governments have
been observed to impose penalties on overseas investors
when market conditions deteriorated, creating adverse
effects on investment returns.
Existing Legal Framework
As noted earlier, sound legal structures and the protection of
property rights influence the attractiveness of countries for
any kind of investment activity. It follows therefore that the
quality of extant laws and government regulations
governing real estate investments together with
implementation and enforcement machinery impact
international real estate investment.
As argued by La Porta et al (1997) [21]
of the four world
legal systems (English, French, German and Scandinavian),
the English common law system is the most suitable for
enhancing capital market development. Nigeria being a
former colony of Britain, practices common law system.
However the common law principles are applied in areas
where there is no local legislation or judicial authority that
governs the area or particular transaction.
In Nigeria there are three levels of government namely
Federal, State and Local Government. Similarly the 1999
constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides for
Exclusive, Concurrent and Residual Legislations. The
Federal Government has exclusive power to make laws
respecting items in the exclusive legislative list like power,
railways, companies etc while both Federal and State
Governments make laws respecting items in the concurrent
legislative list. State Governments have powers to make
laws with respect to items on the residual list similarly the
local governments have powers to enact local government
Bye-Laws and edicts relating to street naming, refuse
disposal, registration of births, marriages etc.
As expected in an emerging economy like Nigeria there are
often complex, multiple and overlapping
jurisdictions/enactments of federal, state and local
governments in various aspects of real estate investment. A
case in point is the enactment of the Nigerian Urban and
Regional Planning Decree of 1992 which empowers the
Federal Government to set up a parallel commission for
Urban Development of land at the local government/state
level notwithstanding that there are already existing
development control department at those levels. However,
the Supreme Court in the celebrated case of AG Lagos State
V AG Federation & 35 others. (2003) FWLR 916-1118,
restored the right of state governments to Urban Planning
and Development Control in their respective states.
However, it is often procedures/laws at the local and state
government levels that constitute the biggest barriers to
foreign investors. Foreign companies routinely cite
examples of state and local officials together with youth
associations of the various communities imposing myriad of
3. International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development
180
arbitrary taxes, permit requirements, development levies in
an attempt to raise revenue from firms carrying out real
estate development in their jurisdictions.
Prima facie, Nigerian laws are of good quality. It is their
enforcement through the legal and judicial system or their
implementation through the administrative system that is
inadequate. It is therefore necessary that prospective foreign
investors should carry out analysis of the statutes,
regulations and mechanisms governing state and local
power in relation to federal power before deciding on
whether to invest in Nigeria and in which state to invest.
In this study, extant legal framework will be analysed in
relation to Foreign Direct Investment as opposed to foreign
portfolio investment. This is because Foreign Direct
Investment disseminates advanced technological and
managerial practices through the host country and thereby
exhibits greater positive externalities compared with foreign
portfolio investment which may not involve positive
transfers, just being a change in ownership. Available data
suggest that Foreign Direct Investment flows tend to be
more stable compared to foreign portfolio investment
(Lipsey, 1999). This is because of the liquidity of foreign
portfolio investment and the short term horizon associated
with such investments.
Fortunately Nigerian Government has appreciated the need
to attract foreign direct investment as evidenced in the shift
from the era when foreign investors were considerably
restricted under the Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Act (the
so called indigenization regime) to the current era when
foreign investors can invest in literally any part of the
Nigerian economy and own its venture 100%, following the
introduction of the Nigeria Investment Promotion
Commission Decree No 15 of 1995 or Act Cap III LFN
2004. This remains the position of the law notwithstanding
the provision of Acquisition of Lands by Aliens Law Cap 2,
Laws of Lagos State 1971 to the effect that transfer of lands
to aliens must meet with the approval of the Governor,
while disallowing aliens from holding freehold interest or a
right of absolute ownership of land. Apart from the fact that
the Decree supersedes state law being a federal legislation,
section 21 of the Land Use Act renders the restriction
impotent as Nigerian property holders can also no longer
own property absolutely and cannot transfer property
without the consent of the Governor. Nevertheless, since
property development is very capital intensive, everything
ought to be done to encourage foreign investors who have
access to funds to invest in our real estate sector.
We shall now analyse the extant laws and government
regulations that impact international real estate investment
decisions in Nigeria. They are as follows:
Registration of Company
Foreign companies operating in Nigeria must register with
the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in accordance
with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA, 1990),
and with the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission
(NIPC). The CAMA recognizes three general forms of
business. Companies limited by shares; companies limited
by guarantee, and unlimited companies.
A private company must have at least two directors and
public companies must have a minimum of seven directors
and seven shareholders. If the public company is listed on
the Nigerian stock exchange, it must have at least 50
shareholders. A foreign company can only purchase shares
in a local company if it is incorporated as a Joint Venture.
CAMA provides that only accredited individuals, including
local lawyers, accountants and chartered secretaries can
register a company in Nigeria and most foreign enterprises
hire a lawyer to complete this process.
When registering, a foreign firm must submit
a. Memorandum of Association/Company Charter
b. Articles of Association/Company Bye-Laws
c. Statement of authorized share capital
d. Background information on the top company officers
e. (e) Proof that 25% of the company’s authorized share
capital has been deposited in a Nigerian Bank.
After completing the company incorporation process which
takes average of one to three months foreign firms must
apply to the Nigeria Investment and Promotion
Commission (NIPC) for a business permit which allow
the foreign company to begin operations. Registering with
NIPC, which is compulsory for foreign firms in Nigeria,
also allows a foreign firm to be considered for “pioneer
status” incentives. According to the NIPC’s Investors
Guide to Nigeria, an investor must submit;
1. Completed NIPC application form
2. Receipt for the purchase of the form
3. Certificate of Incorporation
4. Tax Clearance Certificate
5. Memorandum of Association
6. Articles of Association
7. Receipt of Payment of Stamp Duties on the Authorized
Share Capital
8. Joint Venture Agreement (if company is not 100%
foreign owned)
9. Feasibility Study and Project Implementation Report
10. Deeds and/or Subletting Agreement
11. 11. Training Programme for the Local Personnel,
including a Promotion Schedule for Nigerian
Employees
12. Name, Address and Nationality of Directors
13. 13. Job Titles and Academic and Professional
Experience Required for Expatriates.
14. Brochure Related to the Foreign Shareholder.
Security of Property Rights
Securing tenure is a major barrier to attracting foreign real
estate investment in Nigeria. Under the Land Use Act 1978
which is the supreme law governing land administration in
Nigeria, the vast majority of Nigerian land transfers fall
under state jurisdiction. The power to approve land transfers
is vested in state governors for urban land (although other
approvals are also required). A customary land allocation
system works in parallel to the state system in many areas to
the effect that any investor often ends up having to negotiate
with two or three occupiers/owners.
The limited land on the private market is available perhaps
four to five times the price of state land, but the acquisition
of land with secure tenure invariably still requires the state
governors’ approval. Investors report that indentifying
available land is problematic because of poor record
keeping, variation in proceedings from state to state and a
backlog of unresolved title disputes. The problem of
accessing accurate information is exacerbated by the lack of
computerization in some individual state land registries and
absence of national digital data bank of survey and title
4. International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development
181
records.
Similarly, the Land Use Act abolished absolute ownership
of land replaced it with mere right of occupancy. By virtue
of Supreme Court decision in Ogunleye V Oni (1990) 2
NWLR PT 135, the Certificate of Occupancy issued in
favour of the person holding right of occupancy does not
confer title, does not create a right, but is merely evidence of
title and presumes that one exists. This has serious
implications for commercial transactions especially loan
transaction with real estate as collateral as the original
certificate of occupancy which the banker perfects may
turnout to be worthless.
Similarly the rash of revocation/withdrawal of certificate of
occupancy by government may also negatively affect
financial institutions who may have used the revoked
certificate of occupancy as collateral.
Furthermore, Sections 21 and 22 of the Land Use Act makes
it a requirement that land transfers and land mortgages
require consent of the Governor otherwise the
transaction is void as held in Savannah Bank V Ajilo
(1989). NWLR PT. 97. Apart from the fact that there is no
justification for requirement of consent for mortgage
transaction as it does not contemplate alienation in any
way, the process of obtaining the consent is cumbersome,
time consuming and increases transaction costs of
land transactions.
In the same vein, section 28 of the Land Use Act empowers
the governor to revoke private property for overriding
public interest and pay compensation as provided in section
29 of the Act. There are instances of rash revocations of
allocations by state governors based on political
differences and malice to the effect that there is uncertainty
as to the ownership of some parcels of land in Nigeria
with grave commercial consequences to investors. There is
also controversy as to the adequacy of compensation
payable and who to be compensated – the holder of land or
occupier of land
Development Control
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Nigerian Urban and
Regional Planning Decree 1992, state and local authorities
govern construction procedures in Nigeria and
procedures apparently vary considerably across
jurisdictions. Typically projects must be approved at the
planning stage by the relevant planning authority.
Documents for Building Plan approval includes
Architectural Drawings
Structural Engineering Drawings
Survey Plan of the Land
Tax Payment Certificates
Receipt of Payment of Ground Rent.
E.I.A Report.
The approval process can take 4 – 6 months if no
complication arises.
The Quality of Legal Enforcement
This examines the judicial independence, integrity of the
legal system and rule of law in Nigeria. The commercial
legal framework as it relates to ability to enforce property
rights, contracts and have an accessible and impartial venue
for dispute resolution are key elements of the enabling
environment for international real estate investment in the
country. The courts have been ineffective as the primary
venue for enforcement of right and dispute resolution. A
general concern relates to the legacy of rules, regulations
and legal practices from years of military rule as follows;
There are conflicting, confusing and obsolete
regulations in our statutes as seen in the requirement for
Governor’s consent as provided in section 21 of Land
Use Act.
Poor track record in the enforcement of contracts
between private companies as well as between firms
and government attributable to slow, inefficient and
corruptible courts. The government is still a problem in
Nigeria as seen in the case of Maevis Ltd V Federal
Airport Authority of Nigeria and host of other cases.
Foreign investors lack confidence in our court/judicial
officers and have shown tendency towards seeking
redress in arbitration or ADR instead of going to
regular courts where they may not get justice.
Taxation
The basic corporate profits tax rate in Nigeria is 30%.
However many types of business are eligible for tax
incentives. Nigeria’s tax code includes a capital gains tax of
10% and withholding tax of 10% on dividends and rent.
Capital gains tax is assessed on the disposal of financial and
material assets including property and foreign currency. An
education tax of 2% is levied on company profits and
several business transactions are subject to the payment of
stamp duties which may vary in amount and formula for
calculation. Taxes are assessed on annual basis and a
company must file taxes within 6 months of the end of the
previous financial year. Foreign firms pay taxes based on
income generated in Nigeria. Tax certificates are issued to
companies that have paid their taxes in full.
With respect to personal taxes, foreigners are considered
residents for tax purposes if they live in Nigeria 183 days
over a 12 month period.
Foreign Exchange Controls
Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act Cap F34 LFN 2004 provides for foreign
investment in convertible currencies imported freely
into Nigeria through authorized dealers and guarantees;
1. Unconditional transferability, repatriation of both
capital and earnings and
2. Against unlawful expropriation.
The foreign exchange market has been substantially
liberalized in recent years. Businesses no longer need
to seek special approval to trade currencies. Foreign
exchange can now be purchased and sold freely from private
dealers authorized by Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN), such
as banks, hotels, Bureau the change etc.
Applications to acquire foreign exchange must be submitted
to the CBN via selected intermediary banks. Application
form must state the total amount of foreign exchange
requested, applicant’s name, name of the local bank, a
central bank “intervention sales number” and the date of the
transaction request. Once the application is approved, the
investor will be issued with certificate of capital
importation. The CBN is committed to releasing the foreign
exchange within three working days, although some
executives suggest it can take up to three weeks.
Thus 100% repatriation of profits is guaranteed subject to
5. International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development
182
provision of certificate of capital importation, NIPC
registration, National Office of Technology approvals
(where applicable) and payment of applicable tax.
Employment
This typically includes investor entry, obtaining expatriate
work and residence permits.
Visa – with the exception of ECOWAS Nationals, all
visitors to Nigeria must obtain a valid visa before
entry. In practice requiring a visa is fraught with
bureaucratic delay.
Employment Permits: Immigration Act Cap 1I LFN 2004
requires aliens desirous of setting up business in Nigeria to
obtain Business permit, expatriate quota and residence
permit for their nationals wishing to reside or work in
Nigeria.
Expatriate Quota and Residence Permit are valid for 2 years
and renewable while a” permanent until Renewed” permit is
granted only to a company’s Managing Director and only
for firms that are majority foreign owned enterprises with
authorized capital of N5m (US $50,000) or above. The
number of expatriate workers allowed to work in Nigeria is
related to the company’s paid in capital. An investment of
N10m (US $100,000) will currently earn a firm one
expatriate employee. Both NIPC and the Ministry of
Internal Affairs claim the right to issue expatriate quotas.
The NIPC has taken this task as part of its efforts to
establish a “One Stop Shop”.
Local labour – Nigeria has extensive labour legislation
dispute resolution, minimum wage, compulsory benefits
rules and termination guidelines are of particular interest to
foreign investors.
Registration with securities and exchange commission
(sec)
Investment and securities Act (ISA) cap 1 24 LFN 2004
requires SEC to keep and maintain separate registers for
foreign direct investments and portfolio investments. This
presupposes that a foreign company in addition to
registering with CAC, NIPC must also register with SEC.
Ease of registering property
This examines the steps, time and cost involved in
registering property assuming that any prudent foreign
investor will desire to purchase a property that is already
registered and free of title dispute. The world
Bank/International Finance Corporation (IFC) (2006)
indicated that when it comes to property registration
and transfer, Nigeria has the highest cost of 27.1% of the
property value when compared to other developed and
developing countries of the world.
The report indicated that in Nigeria there are 21 procedures
to be followed and the entire process of transfer also last up
to 274 days. It is believed that some land owners would
choose to continue to operate in the informal market rather
than wade through the web of bureaucratic procedures
associated with title processing. This has the effect of
limiting the number of registered lands in Nigeria and by
extension the supply of land available to foreign
investors.
Corruption
Finally, the defining feature of the Nigerian business
environment is the pervasive legacy of widespread
corruption and the breakdown of the normal institutions of
civil society which act to ensure a supportive
business environment, corruption in the
enforcement of regulations, administration of taxes
etc. The major impacts of official corruption include
increase in costs associated with paying bribes to conduct
business, the uncertainty associated with uneven application
of laws governing business and citing of projects based on
sentimental considerations
Conclusion
This study identifies several legal, regulatory and
administrative factors to be considered in greater detail in
future work in international real estate investment in
Nigeria. We reviewed the existing literature with particular
reference to investor protection, legal framework and
regulatory limitations and noted the dearth of literature and
data on international real estate investment in Nigeria. We
examined the existing legal framework and analysed the
extant laws and government regulations impacting
international real estate investment decisions in Nigeria.
We are of the opinion that the impact of widespread
corruption and notoriously poor governance under
succession of both military and civilian regimes has created
deep seated anomalies in the business environment and
undermined the effectiveness of traditional policy
instruments. The legal and judicial systems have been
severely run down and do not in their current form offer a
reliable basis for dispute resolution, protection of property
rights and enforcement of contracts.
We noted the fact that Nigeria’s real estate transparency
rating is opaque and this contributes to the inability of the
country to attract foreign real estate investors as rising
transparency is associated with increased investment.
Therefore, reformation of key property laws to improve the
robustness of regulatory and legal frameworks, increased
reliability of market data, adoption of international best
practice and transparency standards will predispose Nigeria
to international real estate investments.
