Five years ago, Veritasi Homes PLC made a bet; that the most valuable investment it could make in Nigerian real estate was not in bricks and mortar, but in the people who sell it. VRC 2026, the fifth edition of the Veritasi Realtors Conference, held from the 25th to the 27th of February 2026 at the Lagos Business School, Pan-Atlantic University, Ajah, Lagos, is the clearest evidence yet that the bet is paying off. 

The three-day curriculum of VRC 2026 was deliberately structured around the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing Nigerian realtors today.  Day 1 contextualized those challenges through sessions on Nigeria’s macroeconomic environment, the evolving real estate landscape, and the accelerating adoption of technology and artificial intelligence in property sales and marketing.  

Day 2 went deeper into the craft of high-performance selling, from advanced negotiation and closing techniques for high-value transactions to data-driven market analytics that give practitioners a structural edge in identifying and acting on opportunities ahead of the competition.  

A standout panel discussion featuring Dr. Funke Kehinde, Dr. Vivian Okiche, Dr. Emmanuel Abikoye and Dr. Tony Kolawole brought candid, experience-backed perspectives that no classroom session can replicate. 

Speaking about the heart of the conference, the CEO of Veritasi Homes PLC, Nola Adetola stressed that, “Real estate in Nigeria has no shortage of talent. What it has historically lacked is a structured, world-class environment where that talent can be developed, challenged, and connected to the best thinking in the industry. That is the gap VRC was created to fill, and it is a gap we will keep showing up to close, year after year.” 

One of the most striking features of VRC 2026 was the decision by Nola Adetola, CEO of Veritasi Homes PLC, to personally facilitate a session on day three. His topic, Financial Intelligence for Real Estate Professionals: Managing Portfolios for Profitability and Growth, spoke directly to what many consider the most under-addressed gap in Nigerian real estate: the ability of practitioners to translate strong revenues into lasting financial security. 

It is the kind of leadership gesture that is not lost on a room of professionals — a CEO who doesn’t just fund the development of his industry but shows up to participate in it. 

The final day of VRC 2026 also featured a forward-looking panel on regulation, finance, and leadership in real estate, as well as sessions on AI-driven selling and strategic communication. This rounded out a programme that was as much about mindset as it was about skill. 

In his remarks on how VRC has become one of the most anticipated events in Nigeria’s real estate calendar, Tobi Yusuff, Partner at Veritasi Homes said, “What excites me most about Veritasi Realtors Conference is not just the quality of what happens in the room. It is what happens after the room. Realtors who attend VRC go back to their businesses and lead differently. They ask better questions, make smarter decisions, and serve their clients at a higher level. That ripple effect is what we are really investing in.” 

With its fifth edition now complete, the Veritasi Realtors Conference has established itself as more than an annual conference. It is a growing body of evidence that professional excellence in Nigerian real estate is achievable, and that Veritasi Homes PLC is committed to proving it, one cohort at a time.  

Recognized by the Financial Times as one of the continent’s fastest-growing businesses, Veritasi remains the only Nigerian real estate firm to earn a place on the prestigious list.  In just seven years, the company has delivered over 1,000 homes, launched 12 landmark projects across Lagos and Abuja—including the celebrated Camberwall Advantage series—and served more than 2,500 clients, many from the diaspora. The company also holds double ratings from DataPro and GCR, a milestone that highlights its credibility, financial strength, and unwavering commitment to delivering world-class properties.
