Also speaking, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji of Future Africa said, “ HouseAfrica is helping to create and digitize private land registries. I always thought it was only the public land registries that were slow, inefficient and murky until I heard about the experience of a friend who had to pay two different sets of people to buy land within a private state. I’m super excited about how by helping private landowners and estates digitize their land records they can start to help create transparency and value that .
