Know This Nigeria Network (KTNN) says it has entered a strategic partnership with the Africa International Housing Show as Lead Implementation Partner for the National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign.
In a statement, it stated that “As part of the partnership, the Campaign will be officially launched at the 2026 edition of the Africa International Housing Show scheduled to hold from July 13–18, 2026, marking the beginning of a nationwide housing advocacy and stakeholder engagement movement aimed at expanding homeownership opportunities and deepening affordable housing delivery across Nigeria,”
The launch at AIHS will serve as the national unveiling of the Campaign ahead of planned engagements across the six geopolitical zones of the country, where governments, developers, financial institutions, cooperatives, investors, professional bodies and citizens will be brought into a coordinated national conversation on housing accessibility, affordability and sustainable urban development.
Accepting the partnership, the Convener of the Africa International Housing Show, Barr. Festus Adebayo, described the National Homeownership and Housing Development Campaign as a timely and strategic initiative capable of deepening housing awareness, strengthening stakeholder collaboration and expanding access to housing opportunities across the country.
According to him, “One of the major challenges within Nigeria’s housing sector is the disconnect between available opportunities and the millions of Nigerians who need them, noting that the Campaign would help bridge that gap by taking housing conversations, partnerships and opportunities closer to the people at the state and community levels.
“This Campaign aligns strongly with the vision of the Africa International Housing Show, which has consistently provided a platform for stakeholders to engage around practical solutions for housing development in Africa. We are pleased to partner with KTNN on this important national initiative,” he said.
Speaking ahead of the launch, the National Coordinator of the Campaign, QS Mohammed Baba Adamu, described the initiative as a strategic intervention designed to bridge the widening gap between federal housing policies and implementation at the state level by bringing housing opportunities closer to the people.
According to him, the Campaign seeks to promote access to innovative, affordable and sustainable housing opportunities while fostering stronger collaboration between government institutions, private developers, financial institutions, cooperatives, development partners, professional bodies and state governments.
“Housing cannot remain a policy conversation limited to Abuja alone. The goal of this Campaign is to take housing conversations, opportunities, partnerships and solutions directly to the states and the people,” he said.
