The second day of the Republic Bank-JoyNews Habitat Fair ended on a high at the Achimota Retail Centre, with a steady stream of patrons turning up to explore opportunities in housing, construction and home ownership.

Despite intermittent drizzle in Accra, the weather did little to dampen the atmosphere as prospective homeowners, builders, industry professionals and other visitors moved around the fairgrounds, engaging exhibitors and exploring products and services tailored to their housing needs.

From building materials and home financing to furnishing and construction solutions, exhibitors used the second day to showcase their offerings, answer questions and guide visitors through the options available to them.

For many patrons, the fair provided more than just an opportunity to browse products. It offered a chance to have direct conversations with industry experts, compare alternatives and gain practical insights into the often complex journey of building or owning a home.

The lively interactions and steady patronage kept the fair buzzing throughout the day, with exhibitors attending to visitors and offering advice on how to turn their housing aspirations into reality.

The three-day fair, which opened on Friday, August 21, is being held under the theme “Dream it. Explore it. Own it.”

It brings together businesses and professionals from across the housing and construction value chain, creating a platform where visitors can access a wide range of products, services and expertise under one roof.

With Day Two now in the books, attention turns to the final day of the fair on Sunday, August 23, when more patrons are expected to make their way to the Achimota Retail Centre.

For those still dreaming of owning a home, the message remains simple: dream it, explore it, and take the next step towards owning it.

The mini-fair is being organised in partnership with Republic Bank, under its brand promise “We’re the one for you!”, and powered by Drive EV GH, which promotes sustainable mobility.

Other partners supporting the initiative are Virtual Security Africa, Akwaaba Building Materials, Lesh Fortune Ltd, MTN, Door Masters, Ayuda, Western Vilas, CTECHI Ghana LTD, Saint-Gobain Ghana, Sintex Tank, Interplast and Clifton Homes.
