The Africa International Housing Show (AIHS) 2025 is set to be a pivotal event for Nigeria’s housing sector, highlighted by a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI). This collaboration aims to bring MOFI’s housing intervention initiatives to the forefront, educating stakeholders and the public about its crucial role in addressing the nation’s housing deficit. A dedicated one-day stakeholders’ engagement and enlightenment programme will be hosted during the AIHS, scheduled for July 27th to August 1st, 2025, providing a platform for in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing on MOFI’s contributions to affordable housing development.
MOFI’s ambitious goal of raising N1 trillion to support affordable housing projects is a central theme of this partnership. The successful raising and full subscription of the first tranche of N250 billion demonstrates strong investor confidence in the initiative and underscores the potential for significant impact on the housing sector. This substantial funding will provide the financial backing needed to propel affordable housing projects forward, bringing homeownership within reach for a wider segment of the Nigerian population, particularly low- and middle-income earners. The AIHS platform provides a strategic opportunity to showcase this progress and engage with key stakeholders.
During the dedicated MOFI day at AIHS 2025, seasoned speakers and industry experts will delve into the specifics of MOFI’s housing intervention programmes. These sessions will complement the ongoing efforts of other critical players in Nigeria’s housing finance ecosystem, including the Family Homes Funds Limited (FHFL), the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), and the Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company (NMRC). The collaborative approach aims to strengthen the overall housing finance framework and accelerate the delivery of affordable housing solutions. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the synergistic workings of these key institutions.
MOFI’s commitment to best practices in housing finance will be highlighted through presentations by leading housing finance practitioners. These experts will share insights into MOFI’s strategic direction, focusing on structured financing, sustainable development, and innovative investment models. The discussions will offer valuable perspectives on how MOFI is poised to transform Nigeria’s housing sector by leveraging global best practices and fostering a more robust and sustainable housing market. The AIHS event provides a platform for showcasing these forward-looking strategies and inspiring further innovation in the sector.
A key component of MOFI’s presence at AIHS 2025 is direct engagement with real estate developers, investors, and offtakers. This focused interaction will facilitate exploration of collaborative opportunities and investment prospects within the affordable housing sector. MOFI will showcase its flagship initiatives and demonstrate how it can effectively partner with key stakeholders, including the aforementioned FMBN, FHFL, NMRC, FHA, and other relevant agencies, to drive sustainable housing development. The event will serve as a catalyst for forging new partnerships and fostering greater investment in affordable housing projects across Nigeria.
The partnership between AIHS and MOFI signifies a shared commitment to addressing Nigeria’s pressing housing challenges and stimulating economic growth through sustainable real estate development. As Africa’s largest and most influential housing and construction event, AIHS 2025 provides an unparalleled platform for showcasing MOFI’s contributions and engaging stakeholders across the housing finance ecosystem. The event promises to be a landmark occasion, setting new benchmarks for housing finance, innovation, and policy advocacy in Africa and beyond, contributing significantly to the advancement of affordable housing solutions and sustainable development in the region. The synergistic collaboration between AIHS and MOFI sets the stage for a transformative event with far-reaching implications for the future of housing in Nigeria.
