The document summarizes key trends in the Lagos, Nigeria real estate market. It finds that Lagos has a large housing shortage of over 17 million units due to high population growth. While the government and private sector are increasingly developing new housing, supply has not kept up with demand. There are opportunities in the affordable housing and luxury markets, with demand for serviced apartments expected to rise in the Ajah area of Lagos given favorable demographics.

The document discusses affordable housing issues in Nigeria and opportunities to crack the housing market for low-income earners. It notes that most Nigerians live in inadequate housing, and the country will need over 11,000 square kilometers of land to meet housing demand by 2050.

The document proposes using a "Blue Ocean Housing Market Grid" to help builders lower costs by reducing unnecessary activities and increasing things that could enable affordable homes. Analyzing purchasing power, it finds the potential affordable housing market among low-income Nigerians to be over 300 trillion naira by 2017, growing to over 380 trillion by 2020.

Key challenges include overdependence on oil, lack of infrastructure, security issues, and high unemployment despite employment-intensive growth.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
