The call was made during the 2026 Wemabod Real Estate Outlook Conference, themed “Unlocking Land and Infrastructure for Inclusive Housing.”

The bank emphasised that delivering dignified and sustainable housing requires more than funding alone; it demands coordinated frameworks that unlock land, integrate infrastructure planning from inception, and align public- and private-sector efforts.

Speaking during a fireside chat at the conference, Chief Executive Wole Adeniyi said, “Sustainable growth is impossible without inclusive assets, and inclusive housing cannot be achieved without purposefully unlocking land and aligning infrastructure from the outset. At Stanbic IBTC, we are committed to supporting frameworks that bring policy, capital, and execution together to deliver housing solutions that create dignity, opportunity, and long-term value for Nigerians.”

Tola Akinhanmi, Head of Real Estate Finance at Stanbic IBTC Capital, stressed the need for collaboration among institutions.

“Inclusive housing cannot be achieved by any single stakeholder.

It requires intentional cooperation among the government, regional development institutions, the private sector, financiers, professionals, and communities.

Effectively unlocking land and strategically deploying infrastructure are essential for creating viable and scalable housing projects that align with regional economic priorities,” he said.
