REITs are investment vehicles that can be traded on a stock exchange and are primarily involved in investing and owning income-generating real estate assets.They allow both small and large investors to invest in portfolios of large-scale properties without actually having to go through the rigors of buying or financing property.

In 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued the first set of guidelines for the registration and issuance of requirements for the operation of REITs in Nigeria as detailed in the Investment and Securities Act (ISA). This has led to the listing of three (3) REITs companies with a market capitalization of about 40 billion naira as May 10, 2017. Currently one (1) REITs offer is about to be concluded and should be listed on the NSE.
