The failure to implement wholly the Lagos city resilience strategy unfolded early this year by the Lagos authorities has left many stakeholders bewildered.
Launched in collaboration with Africa Global Resilient Cities Network, the strategy contains three pillars, 10 goals and 31 initiatives, which provide a framework for improving the capacity of the city to respond to present and future shocks and stresses. It aligns with the Lagos State Development Plan.
A former Lagos State chapter, Nigerian Institute of Town Planners , Mr. Moses Ogunleye, said implementation of the Lagos Resilience Strategy in various levels of government has remained an issue in many instance. Also, the Vice Chairman, Nigeria Institute of Town Planners and Project Director, Artic Infrastructure, Lookman Oshodi stressed the need for government to accelerate the implementation of the resilience strategy in Lagos.
“That is where Lagos Resilience Strategy becomes crucial. The strategy is ahead on the quantity and quality of healthcare, housing, security, energy, transportation, waste management, water and sanitation needs for the city.
