NAIROBI, Kenya, May 4 – Pan-African housing financier Shelter Afrique will host its 42nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Nigeria, which will also ratify new changes.
Themed ‘Political Economy in the Built Environment – Housing Market Dynamics and Political Economy of the Housing Sector’, the event will take place between 8th to 11th at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, Nigeria.
Also on the table will be a ministerial roundtable and interlinked business activities.
“It is essential to understand the interactions between the main stakeholders that have shaped the housing production and delivery value chain, as well as what is at stake at each of the critical stages throughout the value chain,” Shelter Afrique Managing Director & CEO Thierno-Habib Hann said.
“In so doing, hence our theme for this year’s AGM and Housing Symposium,” he added.
“It is equally crucial to explore the incentive mechanisms facing the main stakeholders in the housing value chain as well as the induced outcomes in terms of the provision of decent and affordable housing for everyone.”
This will be the second time in recent years that the West African nation has hosted the meeting.

At the AGM, Zimbabwe’s Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities Daniel Garwe, who is the current President of Shelter Afrique (AGM) Bureau will hand over the mantle to Fashola.
More than 200 guests comprising Finance and Housing Ministers from 44 member countries, housing sector players from the public and private sectors and other governmental and non-governmental entities are expected to attend.
