Abstract
This study examines the financial performance of public real estate investments in Minna, North Central Nigeria, over a fourteen year period spanning 2011 to 2024. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, the research analyzed financial data from four major public institutions: IBB University Lapai, IBB Specialist Hospital Chanchaga, Minna Airport Maikunkele, and the Niger State Development Corporation. Quantitative trend analysis of 67 senior finance personnel revealed a distinct cyclical pattern, with profitability peaking at 92.3% during 2015-2018, collapsing to 76.9% losses during the COVID-19 disruption (2019-2021), and rebounding remarkably to 97.5% profitability in the post-pandemic period (2022-2024). Qualitative thematic analysis of 18 key informant interviews identified three primary drivers of financial performance: revenue streams and diversification strategies, cost structure and energy price pressures, and financial management practices including milestone-based key performance indicators. The findings demonstrated that governance insulation mechanisms and counter-cyclical financial strategies significantly mediate the relationship between exogenous shocks and recovery trajectories. The study contributes to financial resilience theory by empirically documenting a super compensatory recovery pattern exceeding pre-crisis performance levels. Recommendations include institutionalising dedicated reserve funds at 15-20% of peak surplus, diversifying revenue streams beyond traditional sources, and embedding milestone-based financial controls into corporate governance frameworks.
