As Nigeria’s built environment gears up for one of its most significant professional gatherings, anticipation is building for the 65th Biennial General Meeting (BGM) of the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) and the Archibuilt Exposition 2025 — themed “Architectural Excellence for Economic Resilience.”
This landmark event will take place from November 25th to 29th, 2025, at the NA Conference Centre and Suites ( NACCAS), Abuja, and promises to be a defining moment for architects, investors, developers, and policy makers shaping the future of Nigeria’s construction industry.
The 2025 BGM will bring together the nation’s leading architects, engineers, builders, and allied professionals — a powerful convergence of creativity, policy, and innovation.
This year’s edition is particularly momentous as it doubles as an election year for the Institute, a time to reflect, renew, and reimagine the future of the architectural profession in Nigeria.
Expected at the event are His Excellency, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, along with Ministers of the Federal Republic, Heads of Government Agencies, Industry Regulators, and Captains of Industry — all gathering to explore how architecture can drive national economic resilience.
The conversations will move beyond design — tackling the role of architecture in sustainable housing, infrastructure development, urban innovation, and national growth.
Archibuilt 2025 — The Marketplace of Innovation
Running alongside the BGM is Archibuilt, West Africa’s foremost building materials and technology exposition.
For manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators, this is an unmissable opportunity to showcase products, materials, and technologies to the professionals who specify and shape the nation’s built environment.
From ceramic tiles to energy-efficient systems, furniture, smart home solutions, and finishing materials, Archibuilt connects industry stakeholders directly to architects, developers, and contractors — creating new opportunities for business growth and collaboration.
Manufacturers are also invited to sponsor sessions and exhibits, gaining brand visibility before thousands of professionals and government decision makers.
Beyond professional discussions, the NIA BGM 2025 stands as a national platform for dialogue — where ideas meet policy, and creativity drives progress.
With the theme “Architectural Excellence for Economic Resilience,” the focus is clear: to highlight the vital role of architecture in rebuilding and strengthening Nigeria’s economy through innovation, collaboration, and professional excellence.
Architects from across Nigeria and the diaspora are expected to attend, making Abuja the heartbeat of design, culture, and development for five dynamic days.
