“The Summit will take a human-centred approach to security by focusing deliberations on key elements of Human Security that prioritise:  Equitable access to secure income or employment, education, housing, and services;”

No singular sector has as much associated value chain impact as Housing and UD.  It is impossible to build homes without accessible transportation, water & sanitation, or power/ energy.  If Not Now When? Has to be our new mantra.  Housing deficit at 17 – 20 million (guestimate) it is critical and obvious and overdue that an intervention is needed today.  While 2020’s Economic Sustainability Plan advocate for 300,000 units, this is drop in the ocean.

NESG has to champion for social and economic change through drivers that include Housing provision and planning on scale that makes Urban Development central to how towns and cities grow.  It is therefore against the backdrop of the 27th Nigeria Economic Summit that we hold this much needed pre-summit event coinciding fortuitously with World UN Habitat Day.
