The Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) will host its 17th Annual General Meeting on February 4, 2026, at the Los Angeles Events & Conference Centre in Abuja. Centred on the theme, “The New Tax Law as a Strategic Tool for Real Estate Finance and Housing Affordability,” the event aims to align the nation’s evolving tax framework with private sector efforts to reduce construction costs and improve access to long-term capital.
A central objective of the AGM is to evaluatetheimpactof theNigeriaTaxAct 2025 and related fiscal reforms on the built environment.
As the new tax regime commenced on January 1, 2026, developers are seeking clarity on how these laws can be leveraged as incentives rather than bottlenecks.
The meeting will focus on three primary pillars: “Incentivising Development: Exploring how tax credits and exemptions can lower the “entry barrier” for social and affordable housing projects.
Compliance and Transparency: Strengthening the relationship between developers and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to streamline technology driven tax administration.
Finance Integration: Assessing how modern tax structures can attract institutional investors and diaspora funding into the Nigerian property market.
The AGM arrives at a critical juncture for the industry. Developers continue to navigate high interest rates and the rising costs of building materials. According to REDAN, the gathering will bring together government officials, financial regulators, and professionals from the built environment to propose financing structures capable of supporting large-scale developments.
