I am working on the NDC Sustainable Building Scorecard Project (NDCSBSP) in collaboration with the World Green Building Council (WGBC). This project focuses on advancing renewable energy integration in the building and construction industry, promoting energy-efficient and sustainable practices, and advocating for national-level policies that align with Nigeria's climate commitments. We engage in extensive stakeholder engagements involving representatives from government MDAs, the private sector, academia, and NGOs/CSOs across Nigeria at national and sub-national levels..Through this initiative, I contribute to developing tools and frameworks that enable the adoption of green building principles, ultimately driving sustainability in the built environment.As a pilot project in Nigeria and four other countries globally, this initiative will go on to serve as a blueprint for building sustainability worldwide.

- Leading fundraising and resource mobilization efforts to support SDG7 youth initiatives and projects- Contributing to the development and execution of sustainable energy programs aligned with SDG7- Coordinating with diverse stakeholders including government bodies, private sector entities, international organizations, and youth-led groups.

I engage with experts, fellows, industry leaders, and academic professionals to gain in-depth insights into sustainable energy systems, and translate this knowledge into impactful solutions. I collaborate on projects that drive tangible outcomes, preparing me to address energy poverty and implement clean energy solutions in Nigeria and beyond.Through this fellowship, I am actively building capacity to empower future generations to champion green technologies and contribute to Africa’s leadership in the global energy transition.
