More than 50,000 persons attended International Building Expo 2026 over the weekend, experiencing new developments and innovations within the housing sector while benefitting from key services from the subject ministry.

Minister of Housing Collin Croal said the initiative allowed thousands of Guyanese to access key housing services in one location, the National Stadium, while showcasing the government’s ongoing housing programme.

Among the major services offered was the distribution of more than 2,100 Certificates of Title. The titles were distributed for the areas: Plantation Vriesland, Laurentia Catherina, Plantation Leonora West, Good Hope and Plantation Lusignan.
