In line with her conviction that there is a silver lining behind the threats that climate change poses to Lagos State, Titi Oshodi, Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has launched #ECOnomyLagos – a platform that seeks to unlock the full potential of circular economy to create more jobs, increase government revenue, and reduce carbon emission in Lagos.
According to Titi Oshodi, the statistics regarding the threats of climate change on Lagos are worrisome, but on the flipside are economic opportunities worth more than 2.7 billion dollars. The event, themed ‘The ECOnomy of Lagos; Opportunities, Challenges, and Unlocking Strategies, drew stakeholders from across the sectors to view the challenges of climate change from an economic lens and devise ways to grow more businesses that will rely on waste as production raw materials.
