This is a summary of this presentation in PDF.
Economist Hernando de Soto has been clear, and history has validated his thesis: there is a powerful correlation between property rights and economic development. One of the fundamental differences between countries such as the United Kingdom and Nigeria is that, in developed economies, nearly every piece of land and real estate is formally recorded, searchable, and easily used as collateral, traded, or financed.
In Nigeria, however, a significant portion of our lands and properties exists outside formal records. They are not properly represented on the balance sheets of banks, nor are they fully captured in the general ledgers of local and state governments. As a result, enormous amounts of wealth remain trapped as dead capital.
Without addressing this challenge, it will be difficult to achieve broad-based economic development. More than two thousand years of economic history demonstrate a strong relationship between secure property rights and sustained economic growth.
Rather than merely discussing this problem, we want to become partners with state governments in implementing practical solutions. Tekedia Capital is prepared to invest up to $1 million per state to support the modernization of property administration systems across Nigeria. We bring world-class technology, regulatory expertise, and implementation capabilities.
Our destination is clear: Modernize property administration. Unlock prosperity for citizens.
To advance this conversation, we are organizing an open webinar:
