The Rent Crisis No One Can Ignore.

Across Abuja, the nation’s capital, residents are groaning under an unbearable rent burden. Apartments that cost ₦500,000 just a few years ago now command up to ₦2.5 million, with landlords often demanding two years’ rent upfront.
From Guzape to Wuse, Maitama to Gwarimpa, the story is the same: rising rent, shrinking income, and tenants being forced out of homes they’ve lived in for years.
A civil servant, Mr. Olajide Bayo, shared that his family had to relocate from Apo Resettlement to Mararaba after their rent skyrocketed. Another tenant, Ms. Keturah Danjuma, moved from Lokogoma to Zuba to survive.
Their stories echo a national reality: rents are rising faster than incomes, and Nigerians are being pushed farther from the cities just to find affordable housing.

Why Are Rents So High?

Several factors are at play:

Inflation in building materials: A bag of cement that once sold for ₦3,800 now costs around ₦10,000. Construction and maintenance costs have tripled. Demand far outweighs supply, especially in highbrow districts. Weak housing regulations allow landlords to exploit market pressures.
The result? A market where tenants are desperate, landlords are overwhelmed by costs, and affordable housing has become almost mythical.

The Exodus from the City

Many Abuja residents now live in satellite towns like Suleja, Mararaba, Masaka, and Ado, enduring long commutes and higher transportation costs just to stay afloat. But beneath the frustration lies a powerful message: renting keeps you running in circles.
The Abuja rent crisis isn’t just an economic issue; it’s a warning to every working Nigerian, especially those in the diaspora who plan to “buy later.”

The Smart Investor’s Lesson

The truth is simple: you can’t save your way out of rent inflation, you can only invest your way out.
At DIS Realty 360, we believe the smart and secure path is to invest early in growing cities where land is still affordable, peaceful, and developing rapidly.

For example, in Abeokuta, ₦9 million can secure you a 600sqm plot around the luxurious Kemta Housing Estate, Idi-Aba, surrounded by mansions and premium infrastructure. In Abuja, that same ₦9 million may not even cover one year’s rent in certain districts.
This is the time to own, not rent. The time to invest, not endure.

Ogun State: The Hidden Gem for Smart Investors

Ogun State, especially areas like Abeokuta, Mowe, Ofada, Kobape, and Sagamu, are quietly emerging as the next frontier for smart real estate growth. With its proximity to Lagos, affordable entry prices, and improving infrastructure, it’s becoming the perfect escape from the rent traps of major cities. When you invest in a pre-launch estate in Ogun, you’re not just buying land, you’re buying peace, future appreciation, and freedom from the landlord cycle.
