Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a concept of the future—it is a reality that is shaping how businesses operate, how employees work, and how consumers interact with products and services. AI refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that traditionally required human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding language.

For businesses, AI offers significant advantages. Technologies like machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language processing allow companies to analyze large amounts of data quickly, improve decision-making, and enhance customer experiences. Chatbots and virtual assistants, for instance, can respond to customer inquiries instantly, while AI-driven logistics systems optimize delivery routes, ensuring faster and more efficient service. For Nigerian businesses, these innovations can reduce operational costs and increase competitiveness in local and global markets.

AI is also transforming the workforce. Many routine and repetitive tasks are now automated, freeing employees to focus on creative, strategic, and problem-solving roles. This shift highlights the importance of continuous learning and reskilling, ensuring professionals remain relevant in an AI-driven economy. Employees who can adapt to working alongside AI technologies are more likely to thrive in the modern business environment.

While AI provides numerous benefits, it also comes with challenges. Ethical considerations such as data privacy, transparency, and algorithmic bias must be addressed to ensure AI is used responsibly. Organizations must develop systems that respect individual rights and promote fairness, while also maximizing efficiency and innovation.

In Nigeria, AI presents enormous opportunities, particularly in sectors like fintech, healthcare, agriculture, and e-commerce. For example, AI can improve financial services by detecting fraud, enhance healthcare through predictive diagnostics, and increase agricultural productivity with smart monitoring systems. However, challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, low digital literacy, and insufficient regulatory frameworks must be overcome to fully harness AI’s potential.

In summary, Artificial Intelligence represents a transformative force that can redefine productivity, empower workers, and drive sustainable growth. Nigerian businesses that adopt AI responsibly are positioned to become smarter, faster, and more competitive in an increasingly digital economy.

Buying, selling, or investing in real estate can be both exciting and overwhelming. For many property owners, the first point of contact in a transaction is a realtor — a professional trained to guide clients through the market, negotiate deals, and market properties effectively. But while realtors are essential to the process, many homeowners, investors, and developers often ask:

"If I already have a realtor, why would I need an appraiser?"

At Pipi Nigeria Limited (PNL), we understand the importance of both roles and the unique value that a professional estate appraiser brings to the table. This article explores why having an appraiser in addition to a realtor is crucial for protecting your investment, ensuring fair transactions, and making informed decisions.

Understanding the Difference Between a Realtor and an Appraiser

While both realtors and appraisers work in real estate, their roles, objectives, and methods differ significantly:

Realtors focus on the marketing, sale, or purchase of property. They understand market trends, connect buyers with sellers, and negotiate deals. Their goal is often to achieve the best possible price for their client based on current market conditions.

Estate Appraisers provide an independent, professional assessment of a property’s value. They examine the property’s size, condition, location, comparable sales, and other relevant factors to determine a fair and accurate market value.

Think of it this way: a realtor tells you what a buyer might pay for your property today, whereas an appraiser tells you what your property is truly worth based on objective data and professional standard

Roles of an Estate Appraiser

Estate appraisers play a critical and multifaceted role in real estate transactions and investment decisions. Their responsibilities include:

1. Valuation of Properties: Appraisers provide accurate assessments of residential, commercial, and industrial properties, ensuring owners and investors know the fair market value.

2. Land and Estate Assessment: They evaluate land plots and entire estates, considering location, development potential, zoning regulations, and surrounding infrastructure.

3. Feasibility Studies: Appraisers conduct detailed studies to determine the profitability and sustainability of real estate projects, helping investors make data-driven decisions.

4. Certified Reports for Financial Institutions: They prepare reports accepted by banks and lenders to support mortgages, loans, and collateral requirements.

5. Risk Mitigation: By providing objective valuations, appraisers help clients avoid overpaying or undervaluing properties.

6. Support in Legal, Tax, and Insurance Matters: Appraisals are used for estate planning, property taxation, insurance claims, and dispute resolution.

7. Investment Analysis: Appraisers assess potential rental yields, long-term appreciation, and development opportunities, guiding clients toward high-return investments.

By carrying out these functions, estate appraisers act as independent advisors, ensuring all property-related decisions are informed, fair, and strategic.

Ensuring Accurate Valuation

Even the most experienced realtor relies on market trends and comparable sales to suggest property prices. While this is valuable, it can sometimes be influenced by:

Market sentiment or hype

Negotiation strategies to attract buyers

Commission-driven motivations

A professional appraiser provides an unbiased, data-driven valuation, examining:

The physical condition of the property

Comparable sales in the area

Zoning, land use, and development potential

Economic trends affecting property value

Legal or structural considerations

This ensures that buyers, sellers, and investors have a clear, defensible understanding of the property’s true worth.

Protecting Yourself From Overpaying or Undervaluing

Even with a skilled realtor, buyers and sellers face risks:

Overpaying: Buyers may pay more than a property’s actual value if relying solely on market perception.

Undervaluing: Sellers may price their property too low, losing potential profit.

An appraiser provides a reliable benchmark, helping both buyers and sellers negotiate confidently and avoid costly mistakes.

Supporting Financing and Loans

Financial institutions almost always require an independent appraisal before approving loans or mortgages. Even if your realtor has helped negotiate a price, lenders need a certified appraisal to confirm that the property:

Supports the loan amount

Meets market standards

Reflects realistic collateral value

At PNL, our certified valuation reports are fully recognized by banks and lenders, ensuring smooth loan approvals and compliance with regulatory standards.

Facilitating Legal, Tax, and Insurance Matters

Appraisals are also critical for:

Estate Planning: Ensuring fair distribution of property among heirs

Property Taxes: Determining accurate tax obligations

Insurance Coverage: Ensuring adequate replacement value

Dispute Resolution: Serving as legally recognized evidence in conflicts

Realtors typically do not provide these legal or certified documents — the appraiser’s role is essential in these situations.

Supporting Investment Decisions

For real estate investors, appraisers provide data-driven insights that go beyond the market trends a realtor can offer:

Estimating rental yields

Assessing long-term appreciation potential

Identifying highest-and-best-use opportunities

Performing risk analysis and forecasting returns

At PNL, we combine market research, financial modeling, and professional expertise to guide investors toward profitable and sustainable property decisions.

Combining Realtor Expertise With Appraisal Accuracy

The best outcomes occur when realtors and appraisers work together:

Realtor: Markets your property, negotiates deals, and understands buyer behavior.

Appraiser: Provides a credible, unbiased value report to guide pricing, financing, and investment decisions.

Together, they ensure clients:

Avoid overpricing or underpricing

Make confident, well-informed financial decisions

Satisfy regulatory, legal, and lending requirements

Maximize returns while minimizing risks

Why Choose Pipi Nigeria Limited (PNL)

At PNL, we provide professional, certified property appraisal services that complement the work of realtors. Our services include:

Residential, commercial, and industrial property valuations

Land and estate value assessments

Certified reports for mortgages, loans, and collateral

With PNL, you gain trusted insights, accurate valuations, and peace of mind, ensuring that your real estate decisions are informed, profitable, and risk-free.

Conclusion

While realtors are invaluable for navigating the property market and securing the best deals, an estate appraiser provides independent, data-driven analysis that protects your investment, supports financing, and guides strategic decisions. Whether you are buying, selling, investing, or securing a loan, having both a realtor and an appraiser ensures the best outcomes: market expertise paired with objective, professional valuation.

At Pipi Nigeria Limited (PNL), we help you bridge this gap, providing professional appraisal services that protect your investment, enhance your negotiation power, and unlock financial opportunities.

Invest smart. Sell confidently. Buy wisely. With PNL, know your property’s true value.

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) have launched a nationwide initiative to provide free business registration for 250,000 nano, micro, and small enterprises.

The programme was announced in Abuja during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two agencies. A joint statement issued on Friday noted that the campaign is part of activities marking the second year in office of CAC Registrar-General Hussaini Magaji and SMEDAN Director-General Charles Odii, both appointed in October 2023.

For many entrepreneurs, formalisation has long been a hurdle due to cost, bureaucracy, and lack of awareness. This has kept millions of businesses in the informal sector, often denying them access to finance, markets, and government support. The new CAC–SMEDAN scheme removes these barriers by covering registration costs and linking beneficiaries directly to SMEDAN’s MSME database.

Through this database, registered businesses will gain access to aftercare services, including grants, training programmes, technical support, and market linkages.

Speaking at the launch, the CAC Registrar-General said ongoing reforms under President Bola Tinubu’s administration are aimed at expanding opportunities for small businesses across the country. He highlighted policies such as unprecedented investment in infrastructure, unification of the exchange rate, and a ₦200bn economic assistance programme for nano businesses, SMEs, and manufacturers.

“This drive is about breaking down the barriers that keep too many of our small businesses informal. By removing the cost of business name registration for 250,000 businesses, we are helping more entrepreneurs take the first step toward growth, legitimacy, and access to bigger opportunities. It is also an investment in the MSME ecosystem, as the Commission is forgoing approximately ₦3bn in registration fees to make this possible,” Magaji said.

SMEDAN Director-General Charles Odii added that the initiative will help reduce the number of illegal businesses and lower the collapse rate of SMEs in Nigeria.

“Formalisation is the gateway to support. By ensuring these businesses are registered and included in our database, we can provide continuous aftercare—whether in the form of grants, training, or new market opportunities. The first step for any MSME wishing to benefit is to register on our portal at portal.smedan.gov.ng,” Odii explained.

He also noted that SMEDAN State Offices nationwide, as well as Business Clinics, will provide support for entrepreneurs who are not digitally inclined. Addressing a common fear among small businesses, Odii said upcoming tax reforms—effective from 2026—will raise the exemption threshold, ensuring that many MSMEs remain shielded from undue taxation.

He further clarified that although CAC will soon review its fees, the free registration offer for 250,000 small businesses across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory remains unaffected.

Both agency heads praised President Tinubu for his commitment to MSME development, describing the initiative as a reflection of the Renewed Hope agenda to lower barriers for entrepreneurs and create an enabling environment for growth.

The free business name registration drive is designed to strengthen Nigeria’s MSME ecosystem by promoting formalisation and reducing barriers to growth.

How to Apply:

1. Visit portal.smedan.gov.ng and complete the registration form.

2. MSMEs already in SMEDAN’s database without CAC registration will automatically qualify for the free registration drive.

3. Once registered with SMEDAN, beneficiaries will be contacted with the next steps for CAC certification.

A growing number of residents in Osogbo have expressed frustration over what they describe as unjustifiable and sudden increases in house rent, pleading with the state government to step in before the situation worsens.

From low-income earners to middle-class families, tenants across various parts of the city are grappling with steep rent hikes. Many say the increases are not reflective of improvements in housing quality or infrastructure, raising concerns about affordability in a state primarily populated by civil servants.

Mr. Emmanuel Ayanda, a tenant in the heart of Osogbo, shared his ordeal after receiving a rent increment notice that nearly doubled his payment.

“I was paying N180,000 annually for a three-bedroom flat, then suddenly I was told it’s now N400,000,” he recounted. “The apartment is old, poorly maintained, and has none of the modern fittings you’d expect for such a price. I couldn’t keep up, so I had to move out.”

In Ogoluwa area, Miss Feyisayo Akomolafe said her rent was raised from N450,000 to N600,000 in the space of a year for a two-bedroom apartment. She worries that without government regulation, many residents may soon be pushed into homelessness.

“This is not Lagos or Abuja. Osun is a civil service state. Most people earn modest salaries. How are they expected to cope with these rates?” she asked.

In Ofatedo, another part of Osogbo, Mr. Jeremiah Obeh and Miss Glory Adeola echoed similar sentiments. Obeh’s annual rent on a three-bedroom flat jumped from N900,000 to N1.1 million, while Adeola said her self-contained unit went from N250,000 to N320,000 without any form of renovation or upgrade.

“The landlords are not even improving the conditions of these buildings,” Adeola said. “They just keep raising rent year after year, as they please.”

Some landlords, however, argue that rising inflation and increased construction costs are to blame.

Mr. Peter Osinubi, who owns several residential properties, said the economic climate has made it difficult to maintain buildings without adjusting rents. “Even cement and labour are expensive now,” he noted.

Still, others admit that not all rent hikes are justifiable. Mr. Abiodun Olowoporoku, who heads the Association of Real Estate Managers in Osun, said some landlords are simply driven by profit.

“We’ve tried talking to some landlords to keep rates reasonable, but many prefer to work with agents who will follow their demands without question,” he said.

There may be some relief on the horizon. The Osun State House of Assembly recently passed the Estate Agency Regulatory Authority Bill, 2024, aimed at putting checks on rent-related activities in the state.

Majority Leader of the Assembly, Mr. Kofoworola Adewunmi, who sponsored the bill, confirmed it has passed the third reading and now awaits the governor’s signature.

“Once it becomes law, it will help curb exploitation by both landlords and estate agents. Only licensed agents will be allowed to operate, and there will be caps on fees and charges,” Adewunmi explained.

Until then, tenants like Ayanda and Akomolafe continue to hope for swift action before more Osun residents are priced out of their homes.

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced the launch of a pilot Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered registration portal.
A significant advancement in conducting business in Nigeria, this initiative is part of CAC’s transformative efforts aimed at a comprehensive overhaul of the Company Registration Portal (CRP).

The Registrar-General and CEO of the Corporate Affairs Commission, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, made this announcement today in Port Harcourt at the 2025 Stakeholders Forum.

Ishaq Magaji further explained that name reservation is now as straightforward as opening an email account, with instant approvals granted for available names.
He noted that the system is intelligently designed to suggest alternative options for selection and immediate approval.

Another notable feature introduced allows business registration using only the National Identification Number (NIN) of a director or proprietor.

Magaji stated that CAC’s target for business registration is now under 30 minutes to generate and deliver the certificate to the customer’s email, subject to real-time NIN verification.

While acknowledging the possibility of occasional delays due to external validation from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), CAC has developed a contingency solution employing AI-powered photo ID matching to overcome this challenge.

Regarding partnerships with super agents such as the Nigerian Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), the Registrar-General revealed that CAC is currently reviewing over 100 requests from super agents both domestically and internationally.

On forthcoming services, Magaji announced that a Two-Factor Authentication and OTP Verification system for all transactions will soon be introduced to ensure that no changes are made to any company record without the full knowledge and consent of the registered directors.

He also disclosed that a CAC Mobile App is scheduled for release in the last quarter of this year to facilitate seamless transactions and real-time tracking.

In an effort to sustain quality service delivery and implement essential reforms, the Registrar-General indicated that the Commission will increase certain service fees effective 1st August 2025.

CAC Weekly reports that goodwill messages were delivered at the event by the Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Port Harcourt Branch, Cordelia U. Eke; the Chairman of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSAN), Sir Sebastian Essien; and the Chairman of the Nigerian Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME), Elder Dogala Sakpege.

Other speakers included Dr. Mechi Brown, Director of Industry at the Rivers State Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and Miema Akpa, representative of the Chairman of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Port Harcourt branch.

During the interactive forum, a technical team from CAC was available to address customer complaints and challenges.

A firm, Fortisia Homes, has flagged-off the construction of affordable homes in Osun State with a view to tackling housing deficit in the state.

Speaking at the unveiling of the large expanse of land christened ‘Veridian Estate’, the Chief Operating Officer and co-founder of Fortisia Homes, developer of Veridian Estate, Oludare Junaid, said the effort is to improve the living conditions of the people of Osun.

Addressing guest before the symbolic turning of sod and foundation laying at Egebedi community, very close to Osogbo, Junaid said the step was to proffer solutions to the huge gap in residents experiencing luxurious living at cheaper rates.

He said, “We are redefining apartment living in Osun State. Over the years, there has been a huge gap in terms of experiencing very luxurious living experiences in Osun State, and we figured out that a lot of us in diaspora who live in Lagos and Abuja want to take the experience that we have in these big cities back to Osun State,

“That is why we are launching our Veridian Estate, There is a deficit in Nigeria and all over the world and as our population is growing, there is an increased need for housing. We want to improve the standard of living in Osun.

“We are creating massive employment opportunities for Osun indigenes. The eco system of development is huge and it requires a lot of manpower and many people will be meaningfully engaged here.

“Developing units of luxurious apartment building where people can come, own and live in is our own way of making impacts to the economy of the state. We are starting with 27 units of three bedroom detached and semi-detached apartments.

Bukola Onifade, the Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Boundary Matters who doubles as the legal Adviser to the firm, lauded the initiative and said it would fastrack development of the state.

Similarly, in her remarks, Ayobola Awolowo, Osun Commissioner for Women, Children and Social Welfare, commended the initiative and urged the firm to be considerate about the payment plan.

Samuel Olakorede, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Fortisia Homes, reiterated efforts at solving housing deficit in Nigeria through provision of quality and premium houses that people see in bigger cities, adding that the prices are affordable and could be paid on instalments.
