The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Afriland Properties Plc, Uzo Oshogwe, has won the Most Enterprising Woman in Real Estate Award at the 2018 Africa Real Estate Conference and Awards (AFRECA’18).

According to a statement, the award was given in recognition of her exceptional leadership and untiring efforts in providing adequate service delivery in the growth of the Nigerian real estate sector. It was tightly contested in a category of four nominees.

The event, which was organized by Propertypro.ng, took place at Landmark event centre and was designed to proffer solutions to real estate challenges and celebrate excellence amongst African stakeholders, for their national and global achievements.

During one of the sessions themed; “Sustainable & Equitable Housing: The Role of The Government and Private Sector”, Oshogwe recommended collaboration between the private and public sector as the solution to the housing shortfall Nigeria has experienced for decades.

‘’Property developers need single interest loans to be able to play their role in providing affordable houses and should explore other sustainable materials in order to crash the cost of construction.”
