FOREMOST real estate development company, UACN Property Development Company PLC, UPDC, has drawn the curtains on the construction of the first phase of Vintage Gardens, a premium residential estate in the oil-rich Port-Harcourt.

THE real estate sector has the potential of running into N5 trillion within the next five years. Project Director of Prime Exchange Limited, a real estate multi-level marketing organisation, Mr.Olarewanju Mabinuori, made this disclosure at the “3rd Achievers’ Nights and Awards” organised by his organisation in Lagos.

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos, last Wednesday, marked 2,500 Days in office as well as rendering account of stewardship in the last 100 days at the LTV Auditorium, Agidingbi, Ikeja,where he responded to various questions from the audience.

AS part of measures aimed at eradicating the high incidence of building collapse in the country, the Nigerian Institute of Builders, NIB has urged all trained artisans and craftsmen in the construction industry to register with the institute.

WORRIED by the dominance of foreign artisans in the nation’s construction industry, the Federal Government last week, vowed to embark on aggressive capacity building for its citizens with a view to reversing the ugly trend. This is coming at a time that the government has put in place measures to make land titling less cumbersome.
