caters for the hosting of the expo and the ‘Dream Realise’ house lot allocation exercise. “The
building exp0, we intended to pull it off last year, but we delayed it because of the COVID
pandemic. So, we are hoping to do that this year,” the parliamentary committee of supply was
told by the minister.
Croal disclosed that the building expo is intended to provide an opportunity for businesses to
market their products and services associated with the government’s national housing drive. “We
