The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, in collaboration with Shelter Advisory Services Limited, will host the second edition of the Renewed Hope Housing Summit aimed at accelerating large-scale housing delivery across Nigeria.
The one-day summit, scheduled for April 2026 at the Yar’Adua Centre, will be headlined by Vice President Kashim Shettima under the theme, “From Policy to Projects: Financing and Delivering Housing at Scale through PPPs.”
According to a statement from the ministry, the summit will serve as a high-level policy and transaction platform focused on advancing structured Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for housing delivery in Nigeria. The event is expected to bring together federal and state policymakers, legislators, institutional investors, developers and development partners to review and align policy frameworks with implementable housing projects.
It will also provide a practical, transaction-focused platform where stakeholders will deliberate on how to structure, finance and implement viable housing PPPs, with emphasis on project pipelines, financing instruments, risk-allocation frameworks and successful delivery models that can be replicated across states.
The ministry said the theme reflects the core objective of the second edition of the summit, which is to bridge the gap between well-articulated policies and tangible, bankable housing projects.
“It recognises Public–Private Partnerships as the most viable pathway for mobilising long-term finance, aligning public land and infrastructure with private sector expertise, and delivering housing at the scale Nigeria urgently requires,” the statement noted.
Vice President Shettima is expected to serve as the Special Guest of Honour, while the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, will act as host. The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, will deliver the ministerial address at the summit.
The summit aims to move the housing discourse beyond policy discussions to practical delivery by translating policy clarity into investable projects and measurable impact for Nigerian cities and communities.
