"It has become important to target the interest people of the people and at the same time, we also have duty to preserve nature because of the climate change which has become a big issue worldwide not only just in Nigeria.

"In Lagos, carbon pollution has become a thing so we are talking with horticulturist to come in and bring our design into fruition, because our design is to bring nature into our projects.
