According to the Organizer, Festus Adebayo, CEO, Fesadeb Communications Limited, the issue of housing has been a source of concern in Nigeria with stakeholders saying there is a shortage of over 17 million houses for the citizens. The government has initiated numerous housing schemes, including NHF, which have not addressed the problem. He added that a major concern for housing is finance; hence the need for innovative financing models to ensure adequate and affordable housing infrastructure for individual housing, collective housing, office building, affordable building materials and equipment, and innovative technology to reduce building cost.
