The ministers: Babatunde Fashola (Works and Housing), Umar Ibrahim El-Yakub (State for Works and Housing), Mohammed Bello (FCT) and Adeleke Mamora (Science and Technology), will grace the event.
In a statement, the Coordinator of the event, Festus Adebayo, said the ministers were expected to join invited foreign ministers to deliberate on housing development and prosperity on the African continent.
He explained that the conference would bring together stakeholders in the housing sector, as well as home based and international speakers, to dialogue the housing challenges in the country and agree on solutions to the growing housing deficit.
