Experts Urge Nigeria to Build Climate-Resilient Roads

Experts Call for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure to Combat Environmental Challenges in Nigeria

Climate-Resilient Roads

Climate change experts call for climate-resilient road construction across Nigeria to help the nation adapt to growing environmental challenges.

This call came during a lecture at Kaduna State University (KASU), focusing on innovative strategies for adapting Nigeria’s road infrastructure to climate impacts.

The workshop, led by Professor Auwal Farouk Abdussalam, principal investigator of the N-Care framework, gathered experts from engineering, government, and academia to discuss solutions.

The N-Care framework, a climate adaptation initiative funded by TetFund, proposes advanced drainage systems, climate-resilient materials, and thorough climate risk assessments to protect Nigeria’s roads from flooding, heat stress, and other environmental issues.

KASU’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor highlighted that adopting climate-focused strategies would boost road durability and cut long-term maintenance costs.

This workshop underscored the pressing need for Nigeria to prepare its infrastructure to withstand the intensifying effects of climate change.
