Building the Future of Africa: The Abuja International Housing Show

In the heart of Nigeria’s capital, an event of immense importance to Africa’s built environment takes center stage every July—the Abuja International Housing Show (AIHS). Known as the continent’s largest housing and construction expo, AIHS is more than an exhibition—it’s a transformational marketplace for innovation, policy, investment, and collaboration in the real estate and construction sectors.

Since its inception in 2005, the show has evolved into a one-stop platform where stakeholders from across the housing value chain converge to shape the future of urban development, affordable housing, and construction technologies across Africa.

A Comprehensive Forum for Housing and Construction

Set within the prestigious International Conference Centre in Abuja, AIHS provides an unparalleled setting for developers, government agencies, financial institutions, and private sector partners to exchange knowledge, showcase solutions, and drive growth in one of Africa’s most dynamic sectors.

Attendees to the event include:

Real estate developers and builders

Mortgage lenders and financial service providers

Construction equipment manufacturers

Architects and interior designers

Policy makers and government officials

Buyers and potential homeowners

This diverse mix ensures that AIHS is not just about presentation—it's about participation and transformation.
