The advisory board of unarguably Nigeria’s foremost awards body for the real estate sector, UNITE awards, has taken an unprecedented step by releasing the selection criteria for the various categories of awards. The move, which is obtainable internationally, is a departure from what is obtainable in this part of the world, where awards are covered in a shroud of mystery. It is expected to further solidify the confidence that this platform has enjoyed from the entire real estate sector.
