It’s a unique opportunity for industry players to showcase their products, network, and promote the adoption of sustainable practices, emphasizing renewable materials and energy-efficient technologies,” Odu stated.

 

Ms. Odu also highlighted that exhibitors would gain significant exposure to key decision-makers, influencers, and potential clients, allowing them to showcase their offerings and engage in interactive sessions, workshops, and live demonstrations. This will enhance their brand visibility, provide valuable market insights, and help them explore emerging industry trends. She concluded with an open invitation to stakeholders and enthusiasts in the real estate sector - asking that they join us at this novel exhibition and collectively let us combine forces in Building Nigeria Together.
