Joint ventures fail on assumptions, not contracts.
Most JV land deals in Abuja donโt collapse because the paperwork was weak.
They collapse because the two parties walked in assuming different things about:
- Timeline
- Profit split
- Who bears cost overruns
Before you shake hands, sit down and write out exactly what happens if the project stalls for a full year.
If your partner hesitates to answer that question clearlyโฆ you already have your answer.
Clarity upfront saves years of regret later.
