Expert urges improved media coverage of real estate

The Founder and Principal Partner of M.I. Okoro & Associates, Meckson Okoro, has said that Nigerians lack accessible, reliable, and structured information on real estate and environmental issues, especially on electronic media.

He added that continuous engagement with the public revealed a critical gap.

According to a statement over the weekend, Okoro stated this on Friday when the firm partnered with QShelter Limited to formally launch ‘Real Estate Today,’ a weekly television magazine programme designed to educate, inform, and empower the general public on property and environmental matters.

In their remarks, the partners recalled their earlier engagement with the media on 30 December 2025, during the signing of the MoU between QShelter Ltd and M.I. Okoro & Associates for the marketing of major national housing projects, including Renewed Hope Estate in Karsana, Abuja; Janguza Estate in Kano; and the 2004 Estate by the Coastal Road in Lekki, Lagos.

Speaking further, Okoro explained that the collaboration has flourished significantly since then, saying, “Nigerians lack accessible, reliable, and structured information on real estate and environmental issues, especially on electronic media. While newspapers have dedicated real estate pages, there is no television platform that consistently educates the public on property matters. This gap inspired the birth of Real Estate Today.”

He added that the programme is expected to reshape public understanding of real estate, promote transparency, and strengthen professionalism in one of Nigeria’s most critical economic sectors.

Earlier, the Chief Commercial Officer, QShelter Ltd, Dare Makinde, said that the programme was designed for public enlightenment.

Makinde described ‘Real Estate Today’ as a selfless corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at “supporting the Nigerian government and empowering citizens with knowledge that protects them from fraudulent transactions and uninformed investments.”

He added that the programme will feature real estate news, expert interviews with lawyers, developers, architects, and consultants, a legal corner on documentation and land laws, investment tips for smart property decisions, field reports, and project inspections, among others.

The 30-minute weekly programme will serve as a trusted guide for prospective homeowners, investors, developers, entrepreneurs, and young professionals.
