Lagos Set to Host Global Real Estate Giants at 75th FIABCI World Congress 2025
In preparation for the 75th FIABCI World Real Estate Congress, FIABCI Nigeria held a press conference on Friday, March 14, 2025, at the Metropolitan Club, Victoria Island, Lagos. The briefing set the tone for the upcoming international event scheduled for June 9 to 13 at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, which will bring global real estate leaders to Lagos.
FIABCI Africa and Near East President, Adeniji Adele, opened the press briefing with insight into the Congress’ theme Global Real Estate Renaissance and what to expect. He emphasized that the event would feature professionals across the real estate spectrum—developers, architects, investors, marketers, appraisers, and financial stakeholders. Adele revealed a star-studded lineup of speakers from around the world, including Kevin Brown, President-elect of the National Association of Realtors (NAR); Ojo Odunayo, MD/CEO of UPDC; Hakeem Ogunniran, MD/CEO of Eximia Realty; Nigeria’s Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Dangiwa; and Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Toke Benson-Awoyinka.
Vice President of FIABCI Nigeria Chapter, Ayodeji Odeleye, and Organising Committee member, Ivie Idike, shared why Lagos was chosen to host the global congress. According to them, Lagos, Africa’s business hub, offers unmatched access to key real estate developments and innovation. Delegates will embark on curated site tours that highlight the city’s evolving housing and infrastructure landscape. One of the anticipated segments of the Congress is the “Prix d’Excellence” awards, which honours outstanding real estate projects across categories like sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity. Representing the youth wing, Lady Rae Obaigbo encouraged young professionals in Nigeria to participate. She described the Congress as an eye-opener for emerging talents to connect, learn and reshape the future of real estate.
