Excited to join colleagues from across Africa at this year's African Green Building Summit in Lagos, Nigeria tomorrow in my capacity as Chair of the ARN at WorldGBC, and CEO at KGBS. The Summit's theme is apt at a time where African cities need to build resilience against the backdrop of rapid urbanisation, climate change and rural to urban migration, and a growing young population, seeing cities as hubs of opportunities. Thank you Danjuma Waniko, and the team at Green Building Council Nigeria for hosting this important event. Looking forward to joining colleagues across the World Green Building Council Africa Regional Network, for insightful discussions, and a strategy on regional collaboration.
