The 19th edition of the Africa International Housing Show (AIHS) is set to convene housing experts, investors, and policymakers from around the world in Abuja, with a focus on innovation, collaboration, and policy reforms to transform the housing sector across Nigeria and Africa.
Founder of AIHS, Festus Adebayo, made this known during an interview on Voice of Nigeria’s flagship programme “In The News” with Margaret Ebeshi.
According to Adebayo, AIHS 2025 will focus on driving real change in housing policies, promoting collaboration between public and private sectors, and showcasing both local and international solutions to accelerate sustainable urban development.
“Our theme this year is ‘Reimagining Housing Through Innovation, Collaboration, and Policy,’” Adebayo said. “Innovation and collaboration are top priorities for us, given the rapid technological advancements in housing construction, financing, and system improvements.”
AIHS 2025 is expected to be the largest in its history, with about 40,000 participants and 200 exhibitors from 21 countries. The six-day event will take place from July 27 to August 1, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
The event will feature exhibitions from local and international developers, innovators, and investors, with a special focus on start-ups. In addition, there will be seminars and expos on affordable building technology, construction equipment, mortgage services, and housing projects. The event will conclude with a dinner gala.
