Nigeria’s National Housing Data Technical Committee has released data on the housing sector of Nigeria recently in January 2026. The data says Nigeria has a housing deficit of 14.925 million units, it shows how many ready-to-move-in houses are there in the market now and how much is needed for people to buy. It’s a huge gap.<\/p>\n

The figure shows that housing demands are very high in the Nigerian market, higher than any other market in Africa. Approximately \u20a621 trillion ($15 billion) is needed to address this (Source: Punch Newspapers<\/a>).
