AIHS 2025

According to Festus Adebayo, Convener of AIHS and Executive Director of the Housing Development Advocacy Network (HDAN), the platform has become a global convergence for stakeholders committed to solving Africa’s housing crisis and building sustainable communities.

This year’s agenda will delve into critical issues affecting the housing and construction industry, including access to land, land administration reforms, housing finance, tax policies, and climate-resilient housing. Participants will also explore new opportunities in green housing, urban planning, housing data, and public-private partnerships.

A special focus will be placed on emerging leadership, with curated sessions highlighting young CEOs under 40 who are driving innovation in Africa’s real estate sector. Women in real estate will also take center stage, sharing insights on inclusive and gender-responsive housing development.

Parliamentarians from Ghana, Nigeria and other African countries will join housing sector leaders to discuss legislations aimed at reviving outdated laws that will develop the real estate sector. Diaspora investment will also be at the forefront of this year’s event, with sessions aimed at connecting Africans abroad with real estate opportunities back home.

Delegates will benefit from exclusive forums on non-interest housing finance, capital market instruments, and the use of pension funds to finance housing infrastructure. Non-interest banking giants like Lotus Bank, Jaiz Bank and TAJ Bank are expected to lead discussions in this space.

The AIHS 2025 CEOs Forum will bring together developers and investors to explore large-scale housing projects, mixed-use developments, and emerging opportunities across Nigeria and the wider continent.

The World Bank, International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Bank, Shelter Afrique, African Union for Housing Finance (AUHF), African Development and several regional housing ministries will participate in shaping strategies for long-term investment and inclusive growth.

The show will also host the prestigious Best of AIHS Awards, which recognize excellence in affordable housing, innovative design, sustainable building practices, and social impact.

The event enjoys the support of the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development under Arc. Ahmed Dangiwa, who is expected to be the Chief Host and unveil new government-backed initiatives to accelerate housing delivery.

With rising investor interest from the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, AIHS 2025 is expected to generate multi-million-dollar discussions around housing reform, infrastructure development, and foreign direct investment.

As Africa faces a housing deficit of over 22 million units in Nigeria alone, and similar gaps in countries such as Kenya, Ghana, and Liberia, the urgency for action is clear. Festus Adebayo emphasized that Africa must reduce its reliance on imported building materials and technologies. He stated that AIHS offers the right platform to promote local innovation, build capacity, and forge partnerships that can bridge Africa’s infrastructure and housing gap.

As the continent’s urban population continues to grow rapidly, AIHS 2025 stands as a strategic opportunity to shape the future of Africa’s cities through inclusive, innovative, and sustainable housing solutions. For stakeholders across the housing value chain, the event offers not just visibility, but a real chance to drive meaningful change.
