As many Nigerian cities struggle with decaying infrastructure, Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, has announced an ambitious new project: the development of an Evergreen City.
This initiative, supported by Chief Bola Tinubu, aims to transform Nigeria into a green development leader in Africa, despite skepticism that it could become another white elephant project.
The follow-up meeting, held in Abuja, discussed the progress of the Evergreen City project, which aims to showcase Nigerian talent and position the country as a manufacturing hub. Ngelale emphasized the government’s commitment to achieving the project’s goals through well-planned execution and national ingenuity.

The SPEC highlighted the government’s enthusiasm for the Evergreen City project, noting that it is designed to elevate Nigeria’s status in sustainable development.
