Rehoovoot Nigeria Limited, a Lagos-based real estate investment and property consultancy firm, has participated in the 2026 WEMABOD Real Estate Outlook Conference, Nigeria’s leading platform for real estate thought leadership, policy dialogue, and market foresight.

The conference, themed “Unlocking Land and Infrastructure for Inclusive Housing: A Regional Agenda for Sustainable Urban Growth,” brought together policymakers, developers, investors, and industry experts to confront one of Nigeria’s most pressing development challenges, access to land, infrastructure, and sustainable housing.

Former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, delivered the keynote address, stressing the national imperative of returning to deliberate, state-led planning and infrastructure-driven development as the foundation for inclusive housing delivery.

Founded in 2022, Rehoovoot Nigeria Limited has steadily built a reputation for providing value-driven real estate solutions across luxury real estate advisory, land banking, and property management.

The firm’s Managing Partner, Akinbinu Samuel, attended the conference and actively contributed to key discussions on how private-sector operators can collaborate with government and other stakeholders to unlock dormant land assets and convert infrastructure investments into inclusive housing outcomes.

In his keynote, Professor Osinbajo drew lessons from the historic Bodija Estate development in Ibadan, citing it as a model of inclusive, infrastructure-led housing. He noted that Bodija’s defining achievement was its deliberate social mix, accommodating middle-income earners alongside senior professionals without segregation. According to him, social integration was intentionally designed, while infrastructure was treated as a public good rather than a private burden, subsidising affordability by reducing residents’ cost of living through shared access to basic services.

He contrasted this approach with contemporary private housing developments, observing that although many modern estates adopt an infrastructure-first model, they remain largely unaffordable because infrastructure costs are internalised and capitalised into house prices, making inclusion structurally unattainable.

Speaking on the relevance of the conference, Akinbinu underscored the need for intentional and long-term thinking within Nigeria’s real estate ecosystem.

“Land and infrastructure are the foundation of sustainable housing, but unlocking them requires more than capital, it demands vision, structure, and responsible advisory,” he said. “At Rehoovoot, we are deliberate about identifying viable land assets, guiding investors through compliant land banking strategies, and supporting developments that align with infrastructure realities. Inclusive housing will only be achieved when land access, planning, and investment are approached holistically.”

Rehoovoot’s work in strategic land acquisition, advisory services, and property management reflects a growing commitment to de-risking real estate investment, improving land transparency, and enabling developments that respond to Nigeria’s evolving urban and housing needs. By bridging investor confidence with sound land intelligence and market foresight, the firm continues to contribute to more sustainable real estate outcomes.

Its participation at the 2026 WEMABOD Real Estate Outlook further reinforced Rehoovoot Nigeria Limited’s positioning as a forward-thinking real estate consultancy, actively engaged in shaping conversations around land access, infrastructure-led development, and inclusive housing delivery in Nigeria.
