It provides a platform for international collaboration, education, and advocacy in the real estate sector and works with organizations like the UN, the World Bank, and national real estate associations to promote sustainable and innovative real estate practices worldwide.
Briefing the media on the upcoming event in Lagos last Friday, Adeniji Adele, Africa president of FIABCI, said Lagos was chosen because of its position as an economic and business hub in Africa.
“We will use the opportunity to demonstrate what we have in Africa in terms of real estate, showcase the benefits to the continent, and demonstrate sustainability in terms of real estate development,” he said.
Adele called on colleagues from around the world, especially Africa, to rally round FIABCI Nigeria for the success of the congress. According to him, the event will provide a deep understanding of the Nigerian real estate environment.
With the theme, ‘Global Real Estate Renaissance,’, the occasion will be an opportunity to show off Nigeria’s iconic real estate projects with visits to Eko Atlantic City – Africa’s premier smart city, Lekki Free Trade Zone, Marina financial district in Lagos, and some urban renewal projects.
Also speaking, Gladstone Opara, past president of FIABCI Nigeria, said, “it is a payback opportunity for Nigeria. We never thought it would happen. We will showcase what we have in Africa in terms of real estate.
