The platform is the most credible and biggest construction industry platform in Africa.
The 24th to 27th July housing show is the 17th edition.
Confirming Unilag participation at the show, the Convener, Festus Adebayo said that the master class intends to provide academic support for practitioners in the housing sector.
He said the master class by the Unilag Center for Housing and Sustainable Development
