In a bold move to redefine Nigeria’s real estate sector, Veritasi Homes and Properties Limited has solidified its leadership position by hosting the Veritasi Realtors’ Conference 2025 in collaboration with the Lagos Business School (LBS). The high-impact event, held in Lagos, convened top industry players, investors, policymakers, and thought leaders to discuss the future of real estate in Nigeria.

With a focus on knowledge-sharing, innovation, and sustainability, the conference highlighted the urgent need for a paradigm shift in Nigeria’s real estate industry.

Discussions centered on sustainable development, affordable housing, smart cities, and real estate financing, key areas that experts say will determine the trajectory of the sector.

Veritasi Homes, renowned for its forward-thinking approach, used the conference as a platform to emphasize the importance of innovation in real estate. Speaking at the event, Veritasi’s CEO, Nola Adetola, stressed the company’s commitment to disrupting traditional industry practices.

We must embrace innovation, sustainable practices, and, most importantly, invest in knowledge-sharing platforms that can drive change. This conference reflects Veritasi’s commitment to being a catalyst for transformation,” Adetola stated.

Workshops and panel sessions featured insights from both local and international experts, offering participants actionable strategies for improving property management, increasing real estate value, and tackling Nigeria’s infrastructural challenges.

A key highlight of the conference was the partnership between Veritasi Homes and the Lagos Business School, which brought academic rigor and market insights to the discussions. LBS, known for its expertise in corporate strategy and business innovation, played a crucial role in ensuring that the event was not just a talk shop but a forum for practical learning.
