    This paper examines the performance of public real estate investments in North Central Nigeria, focusing on their impact on economic development, infrastructure, and social welfare. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, drawing from recent studies on public real estate investment in developing nations. The methodology is a systematic literature review to assess the performance of public real estate investments in North Central Nigeria. Academic journals, government reports, and conference proceedings from the past decade were reviewed to gather relevant information on the subject. A search was conducted using keywords such as "public real estate investment," "North Central Nigeria," "housing development," "infrastructure," and "economic impact." The findings highlight how public real estate investments contribute to job creation, housing development, and infrastructural improvements. However, significant challenges such as inequitable housing distribution, limited access to amenities, and inefficient planning remain. The paper provides insights into how these investments can be better aligned with community needs for improved social and economic outcomes.

    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.
