Coordinator of the Africa International Housing Show AIHS, Festus Adebayo, has called for practical solutions to housing challenges in Nigeria.
Adebayo disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja while speaking on the uniqueness of the 2023 theme of the Africa International Housing Show set to hold July 24th-27th, 2023.
According to Adebayo, the demand for housing must commiserate its supply, adding that Nigeria is at a time where the importance of housing cannot be overemphasized.
“The theme for this year’s AIHS 2023 “Beyond Rhetoric to Homes: Making Housing Happen” was chosen out of due consideration to several discussions underlying theories without implementations.”
“We are tired of talking, it’s time for action because every year the population of Nigeria keeps increasing at the progression where available houses do not commemorate the figures”.
He also added that the choice of the theme is a call for practical activities in the housing industry, mortgage sector, social housing, land allocation, access and development, and housing finance, among others which is coming at a time when Nigeria is graced with a new administration.
Africa International Housing Show, formerly Abuja Housing Show has spanned itself over the last 17 years with a projection to significantly reduce the housing deficit in Nigeria, Africa, and the world at large, a goal which is still very potent and realizable.
