Between 1960 and the early 1980s, there were standard retail malls which operated chain stores across the country; their number reduced because of the harsh business environment and the decline in business in that era, leaving the country without standard malls for retail business. This gap led to the growth of the informal or traditional retail market, which traditionally constitutes a formidable part of the retail structure in Nigeria. Today, Nigeria is experiencing a tremendous shift to a more sophisticated structure as formal or organised retail continues to gain ascendency. The distribution chain and the organisation of outlets continue to reflect those of a rapidly evolving economy as standards of living improve and as the population continues to snowball. In the past eight years, Nigeria’s population has grown from 150 million, as established by the population census conducted in 2006, to a country with an estimated population of 171 million people by 2013. In the midst of this, the middle class continues to expand even as 51 percent of the country’s population now lives in cities. The rise of organised retail has been rapid in Nigeria in the last two decades. NBS data shows that between 2001 and 2004, the wholesale and retail sector grew by 10 percent per annum. By 2006, its contribution was 16 percent. In the first halves of 2011, 2012 and 2013, it contributed 15.58 percent, 17.05 percent and 18.44 percent of GDP respectively. The old or traditional retail system which is adjudged to account for almost 90 percent of retail activity in Nigeria has continued to decline because of government’s policy, changes in the composition of Nigeria’s population, rising income level and increasing sophistication of the Nigerian consumer. In the last decade, the stable political environment, consistently high oil prices, and rise in GDP have had positive impact on per capita income, which has in turn moved more Nigerians into the middle class. Today, more families shop together and organised facilities which meet their need are attracting more shoppers. Therefore, the old or traditional structure of retail continues to give way to the new. More than ever, the Nigerian consumer is interested in a decent shopping environment, neatly-arranged and labelled commodities and the experience that goes with buying at an organised outlet. Opportunities in wholesale and retail stem from the fact that demand has continued to rise. NBS data shows that based on the structure and level of development of the economy, the average Nigerian household spends as much as 80 percent of its income on consumables like food and drinks, clothing, transportation, shelter, education, electronics and power supply. The average amount devoted to consumption has played a major role in elevating Nigeria to the status of a 171 million-populated retail powerhouse on the African continent. Nigeria has evolved from being a country with 150 million population with no real mega retail store in 2006 to one with 171 million people who have about 20 mega retail stores in less than 10 years. The country has the capacity to support even more malls across its major cities. 9 The Nigerian Retail Report 2014/2015 The Nigerian economy NIGERIA’S ECONOMY is one of the most promising on the African continent.

  • Factors Affecting the Demand for Shopping Malls in Selected.Austin
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 17, No.5, 2015) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania FACTORS INFLUENCING SHOPPING IN SELECTED SHOPPING MALLS IN METROPOLITAN LAGOS, NIGERIA. Austin C.Otegbulu, David Okechukwu andObinna L. Umeh University of Lagos, Nigeria. ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to assess the factors affecting shopping in selected shopping malls in Lagos metropolis. The findings are expected to guide shopping mall owners, developers and other shopping mall service providers on shopping mall factors to give priority attention relative to others in their development plans and service operations. These will also enhance investment sustainability. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the factor grouping in this study, the result showed that physiognomy factor has the highest influence on shopping in the selected shopping malls in metropolitan Lagos with eigen value of 7.439; followed by exhibition factor, emotion factor, and convenience factor in that order with eigen values of 2.616, 1.931, and 1.184 respectively. This study therefore recommends that factors that have more influence on shopping in the selected shopping malls as observed from the findings should be given priority attention especially in situations where fund is limited. This is will: create liveliness, enhance patronage, and sustain operations in the malls, as well as high competitiveness with other shopping malls. Keywords: Developers, Malls, Mall-Attributes, Shopping, Shoppers, Sustainability. 52 INTRODUCTION In ensuring sustainability, shopping mall owners and managers are faced with the task of enticing shoppers to patronise them (Ooi&Sim, 2006). Understanding consumer shopping patterns assists developers of shopping malls in evaluating operational and managerial efficiency of shopping malls as well as exposing certain mall attributes that would need more attention and funding.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Shopping complex is one or more buildings for merchandising, with interconnecting walkways enabling visitors to easily walk from unit to unit, along with a parking area- a modern, indoor version of the traditional market place within visually distinct scenery. Shopping centres have become the most common of shopping environments and have influenced the makeup of cities around the world. However, in recent years, the enclosed mall has evolved and diversified with new types of retail environments that were developed to better suit their locale and meet public expectation. 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY Shopping malls are typically known to be indoor shopping, though some have outdoor areas with the shops having their own indoor space. The idea came from old covered market places that were popular between the 10th and 15th centuries, and are even still around today. In 1785, the first purposely-built shopping mall was created, but it was not until 1916 that a shopping mall as we consider them today was built in the United States. During the 1950s, large indoor shopping malls began to spring up in major cities across the world, with famous ones being built in Paris and London. As automobiles and suburbs sprung up, strip malls were created, which the first shopping mall were built outside of downtown areas. 1.2 STATEMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM Awka, has no standard shopping mall, except for make shift or converted structures to serve the purpose of merchandising. Hence, the proposed design project is to come up with one for the state capital considering the factors; Space syntax, security, parking, access to site, and landscape.

Decent and affordable housing is one of the basic needs of individuals, family and the community at large. As a pre-requisite to the survival of man, housing ranks second only to food. Housing as a unit of the environment has a profound influence on the health, efficient, social behaviour, satisfaction and general welfare of the community at large. It reflects the cultural, social and economic value of the society as it is the best physical and historical evidence of civilization in a country. The importance of housing in every life of human being and in national economy in general is enormous. Housing problem in Africa especially in Nigeria is not only limited to quantities but also qualities of the available housing units environment. It is in view of this that the paper views the challenges of housing delivery in the Lagos Metropolis.

    A GIS based approach to investigating the potential of herbaceous bioenergy feedstocks for cellulosic bioethanol production in Nigeria By Moses Alieze Chukwu (B.Eng, Chemical Engineering, MSc, Sustainable Chemical Engineering) Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science, Agriculture & Engineering Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 7RU United Kingdom November 2018 Declaration The content of this PhD thesis is my original work and was never presented in any part of the world for any purpose. I also wish to state that there is no collaboration of any sort in this study, be it publish or not. i Abstract Cellulosic ethanol provides a global alternative transport fuel to substitute conventional fossil fuels. The Nigerian Biofuel Policy in 2005 mandated the production and blending of gasoline with 10% bioethanol. Although, there have been indications that Nigeria has sufficient land available for 1st generation biofuel production, there is an urgent need to achieve food security for an increasing population. To these effects, this study aimed to investigate the land requirement and production potential of purposely grown herbaceous energy crops for 2nd generation cellulosic ethanol production in the six geo-political zones and states of Nigeria to meet the government Biofuel Policy. In this study, ArcGIS software was first used to identify two target land use classes (grassland and shrubland) with the potential for cellulosic ethanol production. The two land use classes were evaluated both on a regional and state basis. The study further employed a GIS-based multi-criteria decision method to determine land suitability for four herbaceous bioenergy crop species (Alfalfa, Elephant grass, Miscanthus x giganteus and Switchgrass).
