Follow the Roads: How Abuja’s New Expressways are Unlocking Property Wealth
In Abuja, “infrastructure leads value.” The current administration’s focus on finishing major road projects is redrawing the map for smart investors.
Key Projects to Watch:
1. The ONEX Expansion: This 10-lane superhighway is transforming Katampe Extension into a high-accessibility district, connecting it seamlessly to the city center.
2. Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX): Linking Apo to Wassa, this project is opening up new districts and driving up land prices in areas once considered too remote.
3. The Rail Ripple Effect: Land prices near planned light rail stations in satellite towns like Gwagwalada are already rising by 45% year-on-year.
For investors who desires to move strategically, it’s advisable to look for “underpriced” estates where the road is 60–70% complete. By the time the ribbon is cut, your property value will likely have already spiked.
