A real estate firm in Lagos, REfin Homes, on Wednesday said it was stepping up its climate change advocacy with creation of green locations within its estates across Nigeria.
REfin Homes, during a tree planting exercise and ground breaking of a 10-floor apartment project, called the Begonia, in Ikoyi, Lagos said the firm offered Nigerians housing finance to bridge shelter gap.
A Managing Partner, Mr Kazeem Owolabi, said greening of estates was to bring fusion between nature and urban development, to enable people live healthy in their environment while mitigating climate change.
According to him, tree planting is an environmental-friendly initiative to advocate the importance of green environment in enhancing climate change and urban development.
Owolabi said trees were planted to combine smart and greening environment into their building development, adding that the method was proactive and futuristic.
He said the company, which was green certified, had another ongoing project at Omole and upon completion would be the first green estate in Lagos.
Addressing newsmen during the tree planting and ground breaking, he said Begonia has 18 months completion period and was one of the firm’s green building projects spurred by luxury demands in Ikoyi.
“All our building projects are in line with climate change to ensure that people live well and healthy in their environment,” he said.
