Vice-President Namadi Sambo

 
Effective implementation of real estate investment and mortgage financing will form the basis of discussion at a conference to be declared open by the Vice President Namadi Sambo in July.


According to a statement by the convener of the conference, Mr. Seun Jegede, the aim is to create awareness and investment opportunities for real estate and mortgage finance companies and organisations in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

He added that the conference, which is an initiative of Global Homes Magazine, UK, and Housing Circuit Magazine, Nigeria, would also empower investors to gain expert insight into new market trends in the real estate sector in  both countries, and share practical experience regarding global trends in real estate and mortgage financing.

Jegede, who is publisher of Housing Circuit Magazine, Nigeria, added that the conference would also provide the platform for various stakeholders to network and build new business partnerships as well as attract local and foreign direct investment into the housing sector.

He said, “The conference will also provide a niche networking platform for participants who have been carefully selected based on their strategic and leadership positions in their respective areas of business. Organisations will have the unique opportunity of engaging with key players in strategic areas of the economy on a one-to-one fact finding discussion, and explore various investment opportunities that may be mutually beneficial.

“We are liaising with the UK Trade and Investment, Business Council for Africa, Central Association of Nigerians in the UK, NIDO, Nigeria High Commission, UK and other relevant stakeholders in the UK to use their platforms to bring to the conference carefully selected UK investors in various spheres of the economy, who are keen about investing in Nigeria.
