According to her, the event would redefine the Lagos’ market to meet developmental standard and to attract more international investments opportunities for the sector.

While assuring that LASRERA will continue to play its role as the state government’s regulator in the built sector to strengthen and curb the potential risks for investors/investees in the market, the special adviser urged individuals/organisations that are yet to register with the agency can do that at the conference.

She promised that the Lagos State Government will sustain the platform of the annual conference for the stakeholders to brainstorm on how to ensure that real estate business transactions meet the smart city vision of the state government.
