Public Finance for Housing: Nigeria’s FG delivered 129 FMBN homes (and pledged 122 more), while pension reform in Kenya’s PSSF signals more capital-market exposure that could eventually support housing finance. Urban Infrastructure & Growth: Egypt targets 4m daily rail passengers by 2030 as new high-speed lines progress; Cameroon’s recruitment into Russia’s war is also a stark reminder of how economic pressure reshapes migration and labour. Governance & Property Risk: Nigeria’s EFCC orders Timipre Sylva to appear over alleged refinery fraud, and Kenya’s EACC charges a former Machakos official over forged academic certificates—both underscoring how compliance failures can spill into public trust and development delivery.
