With studies showing that Africa is urbanizing with a 4.5% rate, it only makes sense that there is an increase in the demand for houses.

The Guardian reports that the conference will be hosted by the Minister for Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, with the UN Under-Secretary-General and UN-Habitat Executive Director, Dr. Joan Clos; Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin; and others in attendance.
