Nigeria Set to Present Renewed Hope Agenda for Land Administration at 2025 World Bank Land Conference, Washington DC, USA 

The Federal Government of Nigeria will be presenting its bold and transformative Renewed Hope Agenda for Land Administration at the 2025 World Bank Land Conference scheduled to hold from May 5–8, 2025, in Washington, D.C., United States.

Leading the Nigerian delegation is the Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, alongside the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, and key Directors of the Ministry. Their participation reflects Nigeria’s strong commitment to modernizing land governance as a critical enabler of economic development, housing delivery, climate resilience, and poverty reduction.

The conference, with the theme “Securing Land Tenure and Access for Climate Action: From Awareness to Action,” convenes global experts and government leaders to explore innovations that ensure equitable land access and secure tenure in the face of climate challenges.

On Tuesday, May 7, Arc. Dangiwa will speak at a high-level panel session titled “Global Land Governance and Tenure: A Call to Action.” He will share Nigeria’s plans to roll out a National Land Titling, Registration, and Documentation Programme that integrates existing state-level initiatives into a unified national framework. The programme aims to digitize land records, reduce transaction costs, expand tenure security, and unlock over ₦300 billion in dormant land assets across the country.

“Through the Renewed Hope Agenda, we are repositioning land as a tool for empowerment, investment, and national prosperity,” said Minister Dangiwa. “Our goal is simple - ensure every Nigerian, especially in underserved communities, can access secure land titles and use them as a platform for growth.”

In addition to panel engagements, the Ministry’s team will use the conference to strengthen partnerships with global institutions, explore digital solutions for land management, and learn from other countries’ success stories.

The World Bank Land Conference 2025 is expected to attract over 1,000 participants from across the globe, offering a unique platform for Nigeria to showcase its leadership in land sector reform and commitment to building a more inclusive and economically vibrant future.
