FELIREP Annual Conference 2025: Bridging the Legal Divide in Nigeria's Real Estate Sector

The Nigerian real estate sector is growing, but beneath the towering skylines and expanding developments lies a critical need—effective legal advocacy, strict compliance, proactive monitoring, and robust enforcement of existing laws.

At FELIREP’s 2025 Annual Conference, we are rising to that challenge. With the theme, “Closing the Gap in the Nigerian Real Estate Sector: Advocacy, Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement of Existing Laws,” this gathering brings together legal experts, policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders to spark necessary conversations and forge lasting change.

Why this matters:
The real estate sector cannot thrive in ambiguity. Gaps in regulation, inconsistent enforcement, and a lack of legal awareness continue to hinder investment, access, and equitable development. This conference is not just an event—it’s a call to action for a more transparent, accountable, and inclusive industry.

Join us on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at Four Points by Sheraton, Victoria Island, Lagos, by 9 AM, as we drive transformation through dialogue, collaboration, and legal empowerment.

Together, let’s lay the foundation for a stronger, fairer real estate landscape in Nigeria.

Top 10 Lesson learned from rom book -The Magic of Thinking Big

1. Believe You Can Succeed And You Will
When you have an “I-can-do-it” attitude, the how-to-do-it traits develops in your mind. Believing that you WILL succeed is the one of the basic and essential traits of successful people.

Schwartz says that it is great to admire and respect the leader; study and observe them. However do not worship them. Aim to be better than them.

How you see yourself, is how others see you.

Think success, not failure. Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief.

2. Stop Making Excuses
The common excuses people make are;

Age: I’m too young/old
Health: I’m not well
Intelligence: I’m not smart enough
Luck: I’m not lucky enough
When it comes to your health be genuinely grateful about your health, it is better to wear out then rust out.

We sometimes underestimate our own brain power, and overestimate others. Don’t. The ability to think is much greater than the ability to memorize facts.

Eliminate the habit of making excuses; see reasons why you can succeed. The right attitude and one arm will beat the wrong attitude and two arms every time.
3. Build Confidence & Destroy Fear
Action cures fear. Indecision, delays on the other hand, feed fear. You should deposit only positive thoughts into your memory.

4. Think & Dream Creatively
Big people monopolise listening. Small people monopolise talking. Top leaders spend more time requesting advice than they do in giving it.

5. You Are What You Think You Are
As a leader the way you think towards your job determines how those around you think towards their jobs. Look important.

Think your work is important. Use the technique of “selling-yourself-to yourself”.
6. Manage Your Environments
The company you surround yourself with will surely have an impact on your success. It is up to you to surround yourself with people who uplift you and whose presence calls forth your best.

Analyse your crew, filter out the negativity, and dedicate time to relationships. Remember -people who tell you that it cannot be done are usually unsuccessful people.

7. Make Your Attitudes Your Allies
Attitudes are mirrors of the mind, they reflect thinking. When our attitude is right, our abilities reach a maximum of effectiveness and good results inevitably follow.

Grow three attitudes:

1. The attitude of “I’m activated”
Results come in proportion to enthusiasm invested. Dig in deeper when you find yourself disinterested in something, learn more about it. This sets off enthusiasm.

Always try to have energy; your smile, your handshake, talk and walk. Act alive. Always broadcast good news. No one will ever accomplish anything positive telling bad news.

2. The attitude of “You are important”
People do more for you when you make them feel important. When you help others feel important, you help yourself feel important too.

Practice appreciation.
Practice calling people by their names.
Don’t hog the glory, invest it instead.

3. The attitude of “Service first”
Put service first and money takes care of itself. Give people more than they expect to get.

8. Think Right Towards People
Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support from others. A person is not pulled up to a higher level job, they are rather lifted up.

It is a mark of real leadership to take the lead in getting to know people. The person who does the most talking and the person who is the most successful are rarely the same person.

9. Turn Defeat Into Victory
Study your setbacks to pave your way to success. Have the courage to be your own constructive critic, stop blaming luck. Blend persistence with experimentation and remember – there is a good side in every situation.

10. Think Like A Leader
Achieving high-level success requires the support and the cooperation of others. Schwartz gave various principles on leadership.

Trade minds with the people you want to influence, try to understand them.

“Be-Human” in dealing with others , show that you put others before yourself. Think progress, believe in progress, and push for progress. Take time out to confer with yourself.

Are you a professional in real estate business? Have you registered yet for our upcoming webinar scheduled to hold tomorrow morning@11am?

This is just an overview of what to expect tomorrow, you can't afford to miss this webinar especially if you're new in the industry or an investor.

Property technology, or “PropTech,” is the term used to describe the broad application of technology to real estate markets. It refers to the myriad tech companies working to transform the real estate industry, based on a rapidly changing digital landscape and ever-shifting consumption trends and patterns.

Also known as “real estate technology,” PropTech aims to help property owners, landlords, and tenants better manage their assets. In short, the goal of PropTech is to make owning, leasing, or working in a building easier and more efficient for everyone, whether it be through reducing paperwork for property management or streamlining transactions between tenants and landlords.

PropTech often overlaps with the following sectors:

FinTech, which refers to financial technology startups that use innovative digital methods to provide financial services. (Think: Mobile banking platforms or online tools that help you pay friends.)

Smart Real Estate, which involves tech devices and systems that help build and run smart cities and smart homes. (Think: Smart lighting in your home or security systems that stream to your mobile device.)

ConTech, which includes construction technology products and startups that have changed the way we build. (Think: 3D printing or aerial mapping performed by drones.)

Real estate professionals usually approach their job from a traditional perspective.

But technology hasn't left the industry behind, and coming to terms with how tech has impacted business is now a requirement.

Property technology, or proptech, is advancing at a fair pace. With many real estate professionals now competing with online agencies and individual sellers of all sorts, grasping this new tech can be crucial to remaining competitive in the industry...Forbes.com

How can real estate professionals leverage on PropTech to offer and deliver services to clients and in the market generally?

FELIREP has put this webinar together to answer this question and many more.

Attendance is free but registration is required, kindly click on the link below to register.

We make learning fun

Thank God it's Friday!🧚🏽‍♀️🧚🏽‍♀️🧚🏽‍♀️. Weekend gives us the opportunity to bond with our families and take a break from official activities🙂.

It's exactly 6days to our upcoming webinar scheduled to hold on the 10th day of March, 2022 to mark International Women's Day.

FELIREP carefully chose a topical issue in real estate and blended it with the theme- Breaking Bias in PropTech; Empowering women in real estate business.

Real estate and PropTech have a dearth of women, especially of female founders, and a long road ahead towards an even playing field. This undoubtedly needs to start in schools...Angelica Krystle Donati

According to Angelica Krystle Donati, challenges women face in Proptech are evidenced by the gender pay gap, the terrible stats on female founders and investment they receive, the bias-driven recruitment challenges and the low percentage figures of women in sector, and women on boards remaining almost stagnant for the past 20 years at 30%, and more.” Though things have improved in the last decade, we still have a long way to go.

Sammy Pahal, Managing Director of the UK Proptech Association, believes that:

“The reason for the imbalance stems from stereotyping job roles for men and women. Society is starting to encourage more women to have a career in tech but there still needs to be more done to break down stereotypes. Also, most people hear about PropTech only once they have graduated and are starting a career in property. Therefore if the majority of people entering the property industry are men then the majority of people applying for PropTech businesses will be men. We need to promote career opportunities to students or professionals early in the career and highlighting successful women in PropTech to encourage other women to enter the industry or make the move from the property industry. We also raise more awareness of the different types of roles and experience needed within PropTech.”

Subject to the above, FELIREP orgnanised this webinar (see details on the flier) to empower women to be involved in Proptech to break the bias in the sector.

We have all star 🌟 panel who will be sharing from their wealth of experience on this theme.
