The awards ceremony, scheduled to hold on December 12th, at Fraser Suites, Abuja, Nigeria, will bring together stakeholders from across Africa to appraise performance, recognise excellence, and encourage continued growth in the housing and construction sector.

“The Africa Housing Awards is a celebration of excellence, where we recognize those who have done exceedingly well and encourage others to strive for greatness,” Adebayo said.

According to him, the Africa Housing Awards is a platform where stakeholders across Africa meet at the end of the year to appraise performance, recognise outstanding achievements, and encourage excellence in the housing and urban development sector.

The Africa International Housing Show (AIHS), 2025, hosting the awards, aims to advance affordable housing and construction in Africa by promoting solutions for low- and middle-income earners, driving policy advancements, and fostering dialogue and collaboration.

The event promises to be a landmark celebration of visionary leaders and institutions shaping the future of Africa’s housing and urban landscape.
