Last week in Lagos was truly amazing! I had the privilege of serving the African Green Building Councils on a regional platform, and contributing to key discussions. Despite my rather erm, unconventional attire of beach flip flops with a suit (and getting away with it!) and finally trying jollof rice, I unfortunately didn't manage to have my epic Afrobeat dance off with Tebogo 'Tebby' Modisagape.🤣. Despite the set back, a key and important highlight was meeting colleagues from across the region to strategize and collaborate for a greener, more resilient Africa. A big win was uniting as Africans to discuss potential partnerships between African GBCs and the IFC EDGE Buildings team. Special thanks to Michelle M. Farrell, Papa Odenyi Quansah, and Temilola Sonola for their invaluable support in making the event a success. As we approach the age of a rapidly urbanising Africa, the pivotal role of Green Building Councils in Africa cannot be emphasized enough. They are driving forces for sustainable practices, ensuring our cities develop in harmony with both communities and nature. Extremely grateful to Green Building Council Nigeria for hosting the impactful Africa Green Building Summit. Danjuma Waniko and the team, your hospitality was truly humbling. A big thank you to Tony Lee Luen Len, Tebogo 'Tebby' Modisagape, TRUDY MUWANGA, Bakang Moeng, Arc. Emmanuel FALUDE DGNB, LEED AP BD C, LEED FACULTY, EDGE EXP, ESG CN , Bahati Zongo, Oloo Adhiambo ZELDA KERUBO, and all others who contributed to the success of the event. The success of the World Green Building Council in Africa, owes a lot to each one of you, thank you very much for all that you do. 🙏 Viva Africa🇰🇪 Kenya Green Building Society

I'm still in awe of the transformative power of the small progressive actions that were used to enhance the old buildings' interiors, functionality and the place making strategies. It was incredible to see how these initiatives have sparked community enthusiasm and involvement in revitalising the Ngara area all with a strong focus on environmental sustainability. Looking forward to more of these from Kenya Green Building Society and a big thumbs up to NBST Management for their leadership in driving these impactful changes!
