Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is set to train heads of housing agencies and developers on leveraging Public-Private-Partnerships and Joint Ventures for housing development. 

The training titled “Leveraging PPPs  and Joint Ventures for Housing Development” will be conducted in collaboration with Shelter Advisory Services Limited. It is aimed at structuring housing financing in the implementation of viable housing ppps to accelerate housing delivery in Nigeria.

The training session is part of activities lined up for a Summit on Renewed Hope Housing PPP designed for a high-level policy and transaction platform, dedicated to advancing structured PPP for housing delivery in Nigeria.

Stakeholders from federal and state, policy makers, legislators, institutional investors, developers, and development partners will gather to review and align policy frameworks with implementable housing projects.

Essentially, the Summit seeks to move the housing conversation beyond strategy into sustained delivery, translating policy clarity into investable projects and measurable impact for Nigerian cities and communities.

Minister Dangiwa, stated that the Renewed Hope Housing PPP Summit is aimed at  accelerating large -scale housing delivery in Nigeria, under the theme “From Policy to Projects: Financing and Delivering Housing at Scale through PPPs”.

" The central objective of the Renewed Hope Housing PPP Summit: is to bridge the gap between well-articulated policies and tangible, bankable housing projects on the ground", Dangiwa stated.

It will provide a practical, transaction-focused platform where the stakeholders would engage on how to structure, finance, and implement viable housing PPPs, with emphasis to be placed on project pipelines, financing instruments, risk-allocation frameworks, and successful delivery models that can be replicated across states", Dangiwa further stated.

The Chief convener Shelter Advisory, Dr. Olayemi Rotimi-Shodimu, explained that " the Summit recognises Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) 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 summit's Keynote will be delivered by Elena Panaritis, Founder of Thought4Action and an international expert in property rights reform, informal economies, and PPP driven housing development.

Vice President, Kashim Shettima, is expected to serve as the Special Guest of Honour, with a Ministerial Address to be delivered by Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, Minister of Housing and Urban Development. 

Chairmen of the National Assembly housing commitees in the Senate and House of Representatives are also expected to make presentations at the Summit.
