Assessment of Public Real Estate Investment Performance in North Central Nigeria: A Literature Review

Abstract

This paper examines the performance of public real estate investments in North Central Nigeria, focusing on their impact on economic development, infrastructure, and social welfare. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, drawing from recent studies on public real estate investment in developing nations. The methodology is a systematic literature review to assess the performance of public real estate investments in North Central Nigeria. Academic journals, government reports, and conference proceedings from the past decade were reviewed to gather relevant information on the subject. A search was conducted using keywords such as "public real estate investment," "North Central Nigeria," "housing development," "infrastructure," and "economic impact." The findings highlight how public real estate investments contribute to job creation, housing development, and infrastructural improvements. However, significant challenges such as inequitable housing distribution, limited access to amenities, and inefficient planning remain. The paper provides insights into how these investments can be better aligned with community needs for improved social and economic outcomes.
