While speaking at the Lagos State IFC Edge workshop on Green Building, held at the Sheraton Hotels, Ikeja, the Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Idris Salako, said that the Green Building initiative was being adopted by the State Government, in collaboration with the IFC Edge team, as the right way to develop environment-friendly and sustainable buildings that would promote greenery and drastically reduce the carbon footprint in the State.

Salako explained that due to its enormous advantage to the environment and its capacity to accelerate the achievements of the ideals of the T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda, particularly the Health and Environment as well as the Making Lagos a 21st Century Economy pillars, arrangements were in top gear to facilitate the adoption of the concept by all stakeholders in the built environment of Lagos State.
