Those using political influence to spatially appropriate green spaces in #Abuja must remember: administrations come and go, but the city remains.

Ultimately, every tree pulled down will be replanted and every building raised in their stead will be pulled down.

The severity of Nigeria’s unfolding food crisis is felt most acutely in cities, but the solution could lie within them too.
Read my thoughts on why urban #food systems must evolve to reflect the rapidly changing spatial and demographic patterns across Nigerian cities.

The intention is great, but the execution is rubbish. This endangers the pedestrians.
Designing bicycle/pedestrian lanes shouldn't be an afterthought. The lanes ought to be clearly delineated.

How would #SmartCities ensure that no subset of the local population is precluded from experiencing any of the benefits of smart cities? Could 'smartness' in city design and management extend beyond technology?

One of the most visible indicators of spatial inequality in contemporary cities is unequal access to urban mobility.
Read my thoughts on how integrated, sustainable multi-modal mobility can serve as a pathway to environmental and social justice in Abuja.

Beyond rejuvenating its urban infrastructure, the new FCT minister, @GovWike, also needs to work on the city's backend and enthrone an enduring urban roadmap for #Abuja by updating the existing master plan and laying out a long-term development plan for the city.

As the president @officialABAT constitutes his cabinet this July, I hope the FCT gets a competent Minister with very good understanding of managing a contemporary city because #Abuja can't survive another four years of lethargic leadership...it will fall apart.

Indigenous #climate storytelling establishes how communities could be advancing their collective well-being by protecting the #environment as a common patrimony, demonstrating the adjacency of climate risks to each society rather than an abstract event that happens elsewhere.

As we bask in the fleeting bliss occasioned by the latest climate financing agreement, it’s not yet Uhuru, but most likely déjà vu all over again, seeing how poorly, past financing agreements have been implemented.
Read my thoughts on the future of #climate financing for Africa.

...in this age of mass production when everything must be planned & designed, design has become the most powerful tool with which man shapes his tools & environments (by extension, society &
himself). This demands high social & moral responsibility”
