Rwanda is the same landmass size with South East Nigeria and it is a landlocked country yet they are doing well.
kudos to them

Raydos:
This is what happens when you have a visionary leader!!

Just this two things will alleviate poverty in Nigeria
1. Stable electricity
2. Building modern Cities across Nigeria

Imagine turning the whole of Nigeria to a construction site, Poverty will automatically reduce drastically!!

As we speak now, Construction is going on in almost every nooks and crannies of China and new ones are springing up everyday!! I pray we get it right one day!!



Modified: Eko Atlantic City in Lagos is a Green city too!!

Eko Atlantic doesn't fit the profile of a Green City though...

PHAYOL81:

Wrong. Eko atlantic actually do fit into it. Perhaps, we can argue that the Rwanda city is the perfect one. Green city doesn't necessarily mean there won't be emission at all but means that there would be so very little of it, it would be invisible. What makes the Rwanda case perfect is "electric car thing" otherwise Eko has everything they boast it would possess. But remember the occupants are the well-to-do people of the society who can afford the right cars that hardly emit this toxic gas.

Eko Atlantic has:
Green Environment....250,000 trees already planted in the city.And that's excluding the ones the developer of each building must plant around their buildings.
All the houses are to be green houses.....At least those completed and ones under construction so far are.
Proper Drainage and water system... the waterways created within the city would not just beautify but further enable lil to no pollution in the environment.
Water treatment system
Stable 24/7 power supply
Standard safety-distance system.... there is to be a reliable space between houses to allow free flow of breeze and allow for restriction of communal hazard to only the building it might be affecting in the future..
Good water supply.
And some more.

When Will The Nigerian Govenment Think About This?

blessingee:


They have been thinking about it, implementation is the wahala

May be you should check criteria that makes a place fit to be called a green city. Going by your first paragraph, Eko Atlantic doesn't qualify

Eko Atlantic Sets the Stage For Potential Green City Status as It Secures Its First IFC EDGE Certification


Alpha1, Eko Atlantic City’s flagship office tower, is the first building in the city to secure the International Finance Corporation’s EDGE certification.

The EDGE certification demonstrates Eko Atlantic’s commitment to becoming the first green city in Lagos.

EDGE, which stands for ‘Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies’, cuts down building energy and water consumption by at least 20 percent while lowering greenhouse-gas emissions.

As the roles of resource efficiency and sustainability become more apparent in preserving our planet, Eko Atlantic City has secured its first ever EDGE certification from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

By receiving the EDGE certification, Alpha1 joins a line-up that includes Cornerstone Towers (Lagos, Nigeria), Atlantic Tower (Accra, Ghana), and Citra Towers (Jakarta, Indonesia), among many others. So far, in Nigeria, 370 homes have been EDGE certified with over 2,010 tCO2 of carbon dioxide to be eliminated per year.

Eko Atlantic: Ambitions for a Green City within Lagos



Eko Atlantic, a futuristic city within a city in Lagos built entirely on reclaimed land, is strongly encouraging its developers to certify their properties green. Ronald Chagoury Jr., the Vice Chairman of South Energyx Nigeria Ltd, provides an insider's look as to what's on the horizon for Lagos and the "unique chance" that EDGE offers. Alpha 1 by ITB Nigeria Ltd. is the first EDGE-certified project at Eko Atlantic.

"Eko Atlantic: Ambitions for a Green City within Lagos" is a production of Lalo de la Cerda in cooperation with South Energyx Nigeria Ltd.

When choosing EDGE, Eko Atlantic's properties will be certified by thinkstep-SGS.

An innovation of IFC, EDGE is a software, a standard, and a certification system for more than 160 countries that proves that everyone wins financially by building green. EDGE creates intersections among developers, building owners, banks, governments and homeowners to jump start the mainstreaming of green buildings and help tackle climate change.

IFC is a member of the World Bank Group that focuses on private sector development. Standing between the public and private sectors, IFC brings market-based solutions to respond to the challenge of creating low-carbon economic growth.

Rwanda has launched Africa's first Green City worth $4.5 billion. The city is sited on a land area of about 620 hectares in Kinyinya, Gasabo District in Kigali.

The Green City aims to promote environmentally-friendly facilities that will consist of electric cars, green buildings, electric bicycles, renewable energy amongst other things.

With the Green City Project, Rwanda is looking to further consolidate its position as the African capital for green revolution which is fast becoming a world practice with more cities in the world going green because of its environmental, socio-economic and health benefits.

One of the major benefits of a Green City is the reduction of air pollution in form of carbon and gas emissions, thereby providing clean air the quality of life amongst the inhabitants as research shows that people are healthier when their environment is greener.

Totally green and under construction here in Nigeria, not a 13 acre drawing board project in Rwanda.
