Summary
Finding a house in Abuja is becoming a struggle, as rising rents and additional charges put affordable accommodation out of reach for many residents. Imagine being told your annual rent is ₦800,000, only to discover that the “total package” is ₦1.5 million — as one Abuja house agent puts it. Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine Abuja’s rent crisis, the role of agents and landlords, and why finding an affordable home in the nation’s capital is becoming increasingly difficult.
