A Study on the Application of GIS in the Assessment of the Impact of Infrastructure on Residential Value in Minna
(PACIFIC RIM REAL ESTATE SOCIETY, 2015) Ajayi Michael Tolu A; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Muhammed J K; Adama Unekwu Jonathan; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde
The provision of infrastructural facilities have been established to have direct relevance to the changes that may occur in residential property values. However, various studies have not examined the application of geographic information system to assess the impact of the infrastructure on the property values. In this regard, this study sourced primary data on water as an infrastructure and the coordinates from the selected neighbourhood in Minna using hand held GPS and Kriging done with ARCGIS tool. The regression analysis conducted reveals that water based infrastructure with P value of 0.000 less than .005 p level and has a direct variation on rental value in the Bosso area of Minna. To this end the kriging analysis indicates that the area with darker colours possess more urban infrastructure (water based infrastructure) than those in lighter colours. This implies that the impact of provision of infrastructure that have direct influence on the residents of an area could be monitored with the use of geographic information system. The study therefore recommends the creation of a department in the geographic information system body to enable the use of GIS to monitored infrastructure development and impact on residents to enhance urban governance.
An Assessment of the Impact of Public Infrastructure on Residential Property Values in Minna
(Joint International Conference Editorial Committee, 2016) Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Ojetunde Ismail; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Popoola Naomi
This study provides evidence on the value capitalization effect of public infrastructure in Minna. It employs rental transactions and datasets constructed from various secondary sources to provide information on geometric and spatial distribution of 4 groups of public infrastructure. Due to aggregation bias in these data sets, we utilize the quartile procedure to construct aggregate indices which capture the effect of the different infrastructure stock component but not infrastructure quality. The quartiles were used to compute location quotients for 12 a priori neighbourhoods, hence providing the basis for grouping and classifying neighbourhoods into low and high infrastructure neighbourhoods. A tenable statistical justification for this neighbourhood split by infrastructure is the Hodges-Lehman point estimate of shift (Δ) at 95.89 confidence level which is (−3.234,−11.072,−0.339) which revealed that the two classified neighbourhoods (low and high) are different. Findings revealed that geometric and spatial distribution of infrastructure is reasonably uneven across the study area. In addition, marked variability exists in quality of infrastructure between low and high-infrastructure neighbourhoods based on respondents‘ perceptual rating. The conjecture that high-infrastructure neighbourhoods have higher residential property values in contrast with that associated with low-infrastructure neighbourhoods was also found to be plausible. The capitalization effect of public infrastructure is evident in a falling market: high-infrastructure neighbourhoods significantly outperformed low-infrastructure neighbourhoods by N 14470, while in period of soaring property value, high-infrastructure neighbourhoods command N 57305.60 more than the low-infrastructure neighbourhoods. These findings have substantial implications for optimal location of public infrastructure and its capitalization into urban residential property value. To maximize this capitalization effect, policy makers and planners must efficiently allocate public infrastructure across space.
Analysis of the Activities of Land Administration Machineries in Abuja and Minna, Nigeria
(International Organisation of Scientific Research, Indian, 2014-02) Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Abdulkareem Sekinat; Fabunmi Foluke Olanike
This study attempts to have a comparative analysis of the activities of land administration machineries in FCC, Abuja and Minna using some selected districts and neighbourhoods as case study areas. Questionnaires were administered to Individual land owners, property developers or plot allottees who own land from ages Eighteen (18) and above as well as interview to some staff of departments of land administration machineries in FCC, Abuja and Minna. Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS), Geometric Mean Model and Linkert Scale were statistical tools employed. Findings revealed that the average growth in land allocations made available to people by government within the study period of 2000 – 2009 in FCC and Minna were191.25% and 29.22% respectively. In FCC, Delay of process and extortion of money by government officials are sufficient reasons why individual land owners will not be willing to process title documents to land. While in Minna, the reasons are Exorbitant Processing Cost, Delay of Process and extortion of money by government officials. The paper suggests among others that land administration officials should abstain from illegal acts during land transactions, government should ensure that adequate income packages are paid to land administration officials and ensures enlightening and educating customary land owners on the need for compulsory acquisition.
Assessment of Households’ Satisfaction with Neighbourhood Facilities in Selected Residential Locations of Minna Urban
(School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, 2016) Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Adeniran Ayoade Adeleye; Abdulkareem Sekinat
One of the challenges facing the cities of the world particularly in developing economies is unsustainable nature of housing. And as neighbourhood remains the utmost fundamental environmental unit for dweller’s social platform influencing his or her quality of life, it should be ascribed serious attention. This study examined the effects of seven neighbourhood facilities on households’ satisfaction across six residential neighbourhoods in Minna. Systematic random sampling technique was used to administer questionnaires to the household heads in the study area. Spearman’s rank correlation and multiple regression were statistical tools employed using SPSS Version 16.0 Statistical package. The study revealed a positive relationship between level of households’ satisfaction and neighbourhood facilities considered in F-layout and Bosso Estate with correlation coefficients of 0.689 and 0.529 respectively; positive relationship in Bosso Town, Tunga Lowcost and GRA with correlation coefficients of 0.465, 0.375 and 0.360 respectively; and negative relationship between the variables in Minna Central (-0.033 correlation coefficient). The correlation results confirms the regression analysis which reveals significant relationship (p values < 0.01) between households’ satisfaction and neighbourhood facilities in F-layout (R2=0.501), Bosso Estate (R2=0.230), Bosso Town (R2=0.205), Tunga Lowcost (R2=0.180) and GRA (R2=0.124)) and reverse relationship (p value > 0.01) in Minna Central (R2=0.000). The study recommends that neighbourhood facilities should be augumented with other public facilities and households or community residents should be involved in infrastructure input decisions that affect their neighbourhoods. This will improve residential neighbourhood satisfaction by the residents and also enhance property values.

(School of Environmental Technology Federal University of Technology Main Campus, Gidan Kwano, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria, 2016) Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Kuma Shien Stephen; Ojetunde Ismail; Fabunmi Foluke Olanike
Land administration is a significant framework for the management of any nation’s pool of resources and has remained one of the most chatted discourses among urban issues in many developing countries. This paper examines the issues in land administration in Nigeria and other developing countries, looking at the various administrative and legal frameworks in place for an efficient land delivery system. The land administration system in Nigeria is plaque by challenges spanning from policy, institutional and legal frameworks to technical and operational issues which have direct impact on implementation. These challenges emanated from some of the import ideologies that adjustments could not be made upon. The study recommends the reform of policies and the creation of a local integrated land administration system model (LAS) that will accommodate our country peculiarities. Also the development and sustenance of an ICT based professionals and infrastructure that will enhance efficiency in the land information system.

Community participation in slum upgrading: A key to attainment of inclusive city
(Community Participation Research Group (COPAREG), Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, 2018) Popoola Naomi Ijadunola; Ojetunde Ismail; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde
Urban population explosions in the developing world have been attributed to proliferation and formation of slum particularly as a result of disproportionate provision of basic infrastructure. Infrastructure provision and maintenance has remained one of the major challenges facing the cities, most especially the slum settlements in the developing countries of the world. Inadequate financial resources in tackling many urban challenges have led to partial withdrawal of government from providing and maintaining basic neighbourhood infrastructure in the cities. It is therefore very evident that inclusive city cannot be achieved without effective community participation. It is in view of this that this study examined challenges facing slum settlements, benefits and shortcomings of residents’ participation in upgrading projects and framework for sustainable community participation upgrading project. The study concluded that the meagre community resources of slum dwellers in the face of economic recession are not sufficient to meet the development need of the slum, especially in the area of infrastructure refurbishment. The study, amongst others, recommended adoption of community-driven development approaches in upgrading projects in poor urban communities and adequate resource allocation to projects as effective tools for achieving social inclusion and attainment of desired inclusive city.
Critical Factors Contributing to Rent Arrears in Residential Properties in Minna, Nigeria
(European University of Lefke, Cyprus, 2018) Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Ojetunde Ismail; Ogunbajo Rukayat Adeola; Kuma Shien Stephen
Optimum return appears to be a tangible motive of investors of real estate investments. This motive over the years has been bedevilled by rent defaults by renters of properties in the property sector. This situation, to Property Managers and their Principals is worrisome. It is on this basis that this study attempts to assess the factors influencing rent arrears in Minna residential property market. The study employs data on various aggregate factors such as management subsystem, economic factors, tenancy arrangement, dwelling unit features and external household attributes influencing rent payments. Cluster random sampling was used to administer questionnaire to renters of residential properties in Minna while simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to administer questionnaires to property managers. Kendall Coefficient of Concordance and Chi-Square were statistical tools used. The result revealed that W = 0.601 which indicated a statistical evidence of a fair association in the ranking of the factors responsible for rent in arrears, while the average rank correlation of factors between all possible pairs of the towns rs = 0.521 indicating a weak agreement to the identified factors. There was evidence of variation among the factors responsible for rent arrears across the areas and the study also found there is no relationship between income level of renters and type of residential accommodation occupied. The implication of the study is that renters develop practical habit that discipline their finances and prioritize the scale of preference to live below their income level.
Determinants of Residential Property Location Choice of Tenants in Bosso and Chanchaga Local Government Areas of Minna, Nigeria
(Faculty of Technology, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, 2020) Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Popoola Naomi Ijadunola; Ojetunde Ismail; Oyedele J B
This study investigates the determinants of residential location choice in Bosso local government area (LGA) and Chanchaga local government area (LGA) of Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were administered on tenants who are household heads in the study area to weigh 15 factors that influence their choice of current homes. The discriminant function analysis was employed. The empirical results exhibit statistically significant and largest discriminant loading of factors such as availability of fence wall and large floor area of apartment (dwelling attributes) and location of property in a particular neighbourhood (neighbourhood attribute) as the determinants of residential location of tenants in the study area. The study therefore recommends that all stakeholders in residential property sector in the study area should ensure that building accommodation details are allocated adequate space to meet the needs of tenants and buildings are fenced before offer for letting. The study also recommends that policy makers and planners should ensure that efforts are geared toward restructuring of the unplanned neighbourhoods in Bosso and Chanchaga local government areas (LGAs) whilst maintaining and improving the available facilities and services in planned neighbourhoods. These to a great extent will proportionately enhance satisfaction and shape the residential location decisions of tenants resulting in maximum investment returns to all residential property investors across all the neighbourhoods in Minna.

(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-06-12) Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Oyetunji Abiodun Kolawole; Olukolajo Michael Ayodele; Ullah Safi; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale
This paper evaluates how households consider environmental attributes alongside other housing attributes in their residential location decisions along the coastline in Victoria Island, Nigeria. The data were obtained from tenants’ revealed preference surveys where 204 respondents rated 15 identified and most common key factors in the order by which they influence their residential location choices. The factor analytical approach was then applied to understand how these factors influence such decisions. Thus, this study also gives bearing to the factors considered in making policy and/or investment decisions around residential location choice (RLC). The results revealed the presence of four key components with a total variance of 70.76%. Among the components, neighbourhood, critical dwelling cum socio-economic attributes are found to have a significant influence in explaining 39.78% of the variation in the factors influencing the study area’s selection as the residential location choice (RLC) for households. The findings have implications for households’ residential location choices. For residential locations to be equally attractive to tenants, policymakers and urban planners should pay attention to addressing the menace of the neighbourhoods including crime and traffic congestion. Moreover, property owners should respond to tenants’ needs by paying attention to the provision of utility facilities such as portable water and an appropriate mix of toilet/bathrooms to available bedrooms.
Effect of Neighbourhood Crime on Residential Property Values: A Review of Literature
(School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology Minna, 2024) Alake Seye Samuel; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Sule Abass Iyanda; Ewerem Precious N
The effect of Neighbourhood crime has a detrimental effect on residential property values, often discouraging investment in residential real estate. This paper presents a review of empirical studies on the effect of neighbourhood crime on property values. The purpose of the review is to summarise current knowledge about the influence of neighbourhood crime on residential property value. The literature was rigorously sourced from platforms such as Emerald, ScienceDirect, SAGE, and Google Scholar. The findings reveal a consistent inverse relationship between property crime and residential property values, with higher crime rates leading to decreased housing prices across various geographic contexts, including Europe and developing economies. Proximity to crime hot spots and incidents of burglary and vandalism significantly reduce property values due to safety concerns among buyers. Methodologies such as hedonic pricing models and regression analyses were frequently employed. The review observed the limited focus on the effect of crime on residential property values in developing economies. It is recommended that further research be carried out on the impact of neighborhood crime on residential property values in developing economies to better understand the unique aspects of this social issue. Government and relevant agencies should also focus on this area of study, as it can contribute to promoting sustainable housing solutions that support healthier living environments.
Emphasizing the role of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in land use development towards achieving United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs)
(Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers, 2016) Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Bature M A; Awolaja G
All human activities take place on land, making land related decisions crucial to national development. The success of private and public organisations depends strongly on the judicious use of land. Over the years, land use in Nigeria has suffered fundamental lapses resulting in deteriorating historical sites, waste, pollution, infrastructural inadequacy, housing deficit, unsecure land tenure for the urban poor, environmental degredation, investment losses and other imbalances in land use. Estate Surveyors and Valuers have tied themselves to their traditional roles, makong their role in land use development less impactful. This paper sets to concisely advance the roles of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in land use development towards achieving United Nations' sustainable development goals (focusing on goal 11 - sustainable cities and communities). The method of investigation is essentially a documentary and analysis of archival records, with a view to identifying the existing gaps in the role of Estate Surveyors in land use development. The roles of Estate Surveyors were identified in the following areas: citizen engagement, accountability, policy reform, service delivery, performance measurement, project financing, infrastructural development and maintenance, housing, valuation, land administration and other areas of concern. The paper concludes by developing strategies in making Estate Surveyors’ roles impactful in land use development and policy formulation towards achieving sustainable cities and communities in Nigeria.
Factors Influencing Tenants’ Choice of Location of Residence in Bosso Local Municipality, Minna, Nigeria
(Official refereed Journal of the African Real Estate Society, 2019) Oladapo Rashidat Adejoke; Ojo Babajide; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale
Residential location choice (RLC) is key to the pattern of urban development in any city. This paper investigates factors influencing the choice of residential location by tenants in Bosso Local Government Area (LGA), Minna. The objective of the paper is to establish the roles played by a variety of housing attributes, and thus the design is an analytical survey. Data was collected from 277 structured questionnaires completed by household heads who are tenants in Bosso LGA neighbourhoods. This data was further investigated through factor analysis to reduce the variety of housing variables to a smaller set of influential components. The results reveal that the principal component in the determination of residential location of tenants is dwelling attributes comprising of the number of bathrooms, number of toilets and number of bedrooms. In addition, the second principal component, named accessibility attributes, plays a modest role with proximity to a secondary school and/or primary school loading very high. The study recommends that property owners should respond to the desires of tenants by paying attention to the provision of the right ratio of bathrooms and toilets to the number of bedrooms. Also, urban planners and policymakers should efficiently allocate educational properties like secondary and primary schools across all the neighbourhoods in the study area. With these recommendations, it is hoped that residential locations across Bosso LGA will be equally attractive to tenants.

(Faculty of Environmental Technology, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi, Nigeria, 2015) Adeyemo Afeez Adewunmi; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Adama Unekwu Jonathan; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde
The study explored motivating factors influencing the use of ICT in Minna. The target population were registered Estate Surveyors and Valuers domiciled and operating within the Minna property market. The respondents were extracted from the 2011 NIESV membership Directory. Survey data from 15 estate firms were collected to analyze the vital motivating factors influencing the use of ICT in real estate practice. A five point Likert scale was used to examine their opinions and spearman rank correlation was used to test if there is any relationship between internal and external motivating factors. The result indicated that increased productivity of staff, enhanced quality of customer services, knowledge sharing factor, information accessibility, improved decision making and time saving are the most influencing motivating factors while competitors' pressure, availability of ICT infrastructure, management and business size, reduced overall cost are less influencing motivating factors. The study further revealed that internal motivating factors strengthened the use of ICT in their domain. There is negative correlation between the internal and external motivating factors. Niger state branch of NIESV and ESVARBON should recommend the use of ICT to all estate firms and estate surveyors and valuers. Also, the work concludes by recommending further conduct of comprehensive indigenous research and development (R&D) in ICT driven real estate practice in Minna by liaison with various educational institutions offering estate management in their domain in order to be abreast of global best practices.

(School of Environmental Technology Federal University of Technology Main Campus, Gidan Kwano, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria, 2016) Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Idowu Olusegun
Federal university of Technology, Minna developed its main campus in Gidan-Kwano and started operation in 2005. This work examines the impact of university on the host community. Landsat imageries were used to monitor spatial growth in Gidan-Kwano between year 2005 and 2015. Ground survey data were collected from Federal university of Technology, Minna, Estate Agents, Property developers, Power Holding Company of Nigeria and Ministry of Lands and Housing. ILWIS was used to analyse the satellite imageries while Analyze-it was used for the analysis of the ground survey data. Findings revealed that residential land use which stood at 8.87% of the total land use in 2005 has now grown to 25.19% in 2015. There are other infrastructures attracted to the area during period under review. However, the growth has been marked with problems of uncoordinated development and inadequate infrastructure. The ever increasing population of the university will continue to attract physical development and if the growing development is not coordinated by enacting master plan, there will be chaotic and haphazard development. The study has revealed the spillover effects of locating university. It has also unfolded the pending danger of uncontrolled development. A comprehensive master plan should be developed for the community.

(University of Abuja Press, 2017) Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Odumosu Joseph Olayemi; Mohammed Fatima O; Popoola Naomi Ijadunola; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde
Geospatial database helps to provide information about real properties. This study attempted to develop a geospatial database that will assist in managing residential properties in FUT Minna Staff quarters at Gidan Kwano Campus of the University. Structured questionnaires were administered to collect primary data and the image of the study area was downloaded from Google earth. Maps were produced showing various conditions of the building elements, services and facilities considered were doors, windows, ceilings, roofs, access roads, electricity, water supply, security and landscape. Furthermore, the occupant responses were analyzed using equal weight by taking advantage of the commutative and associate properties of matrix addition in order to arrive at an overall suitability index used in ranking the houses. The use of GIS in property management practice has proven to be efficient and a highly relevant decision making tool.
Slum Development in 3rd World Countries: Causes, Effect and Way out (A Case Study of Ibadan South East Local Government, Nigeria)
(West Africa Built Environment Research (WABER) Conference. C/o Dr Samuel Laryea, School of Construction Management and Engineering, University of Reading, Reading, UK, 2012) Adeniran Ayoade Adeleye; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde
Slums and squatting areas accommodate the majority of the population of cities in developing countries and it is estimated to be home to over 800million people, which is predicted by the UN-Habitat (2003) to grow to between 1 and 2 billion by 2020. This case of slum development is not alien to Nigeria. This study considers the case of Ibadan Metropolis. The major factors as discovered, contributing to slum development include rural-urban migration, unplanned neighborhood, overpopulation, non-compliance with laid down rules and illiteracy. The resultant effects of this are overcrowding, outbreak of diseases, loss of man hours, insecurity of life, and decline in property values amongst others. To get out of this web which keeps entangling us like a vicious cycle, the government at all levels have a major role to play by providing and implementing enabling laws and regulations, improving waste disposal, drainage and sanitary system as well as implement urban renewal.
The Impact of Noise and Dust Level on Rental Price of Residential Tenements around Lafarge Cement Factory in Ewekoro Town, Nigeria
(Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia, 2014) Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ojetunde Ismail; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde
This study employed hedonic pricing model to investigate the impact of noise and dust spewed from a cement factory on a sample of 126 tenements from 11 residential settlements within Ewekoro local housing market in Nigeria. Market-wide hedonic model for all the 126 tenements within 5.5km of the cement factory) was estimated. In addition, two separate unrestricted hedonic models were also estimated (the first consisting of 38 tenements within 2.5km of the factory and the other comprising 88 tenements located between 2.5km to 5.5km of the factory). The hedonic models which take the doublelog functional form were estimated with house rent (a proxy for house price) as the dependent variable. Generally, the results of the market-wide model revealed that, dust level and noise, which are negative externalities from the cement factory dampen rent by 21.90% (N 13815) and 1.49% (N 24.80) respectively within the study area. Findings from the unrestricted models further signify that tenement rents tend to decrease with increasing distance to Lafarge cement factory due to severity of dust and noise. As panacea to this problem it is recommended that government should provide policy response - the introduction of effluent fees which would force the cement and other manufacturing companies to internalize their externalities by paying for noise and dust pollution. The basic objective of such policy response is for manufacturing companies to move to the use of energy efficient and eco-friendly plants that generate less noise and dust in their production operations. On the other, the cement company should also imbibe Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as part of its efforts in providing a sustainable living environment for the residents in Ewekoro town.
