The Abuja International Housing Show (AIHS), since its inception in 2005, has emerged as a viable platform where Nigerian and international investors as well as stakeholders in the built sector meet annually to cross fertilized ideas on vital issues that will enhance the sector.
The Abuja International Housing Show unarguably has come to stay as a solution to emerging and lingering housing and construction issues by proffering solutions through networking, exhibition and introduction of latest innovations to the market through sales and promotion.
Visitors and exhibitors at the previous AIHS, which is in its 14th edition have benefited from its rich intellectual content, lectures, seminars and presentations from carefully chosen seasoned stakeholders in the built sector both in Nigeria and abroad. In the marketing aspect, many investors – be it local and international have enjoyed mutually profitable interactions with business clients, partners and sponsors over the years.

The previous edition ended on a good note because over 21 countries participating annually have indicated interest in establishing business and companies in Nigeria.
Due to its significance in rallying stakeholders, investors, egg heads and policy makers across board yearly, the show has been endorsed by governments and private sector leaders as an ideal platform to discuss the recent advances and research results in the fields of Housing and all related areas such as architecture, policy studies, education, interior architecture, city planning and urban studies, social sciences etc.
