He highlighted the Mayor of Housing’s commitment to integrating clean energy into real estate projects. “This partnership is a major step towards solving Africa’s housing issues while promoting sustainability,” Ezenaji said.
The collaboration will explore renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro. Ezenaji expressed enthusiasm about working with My-ACE China on these initiatives. He also emphasised his commitment to educating students about Sustainable Development Goal 7, which addresses clean energy and climate change.
