He averred that Lagos has the highest density of ICT infrastructure in Nigeria, and the sector accounts for about 410,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum in the State.

He enjoined the attendees to collaborate with the State on its journey towards a low carbon economy by embracing cleaner energy sources such as Solar, Wind, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

Odusote reiterated that Governor @jidesanwoolu’s administration is optimistic that, provided all stakeholders live up to their pledges and obligations, the 21st Century Economy targets of Lagos State can be achieved while ensuring a clean and safe environment for all Lagosians.
The General Manager of @LasepaOfficial, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, said that Lagos State is committed to supporting Nigeria towards achieving the objective of net-zero emission target by 2050 under the C40 Cities Alliance, alongside nine other African cities.

The Group CEO for Viathan Engineering, Mr. Habeeb Alebiosu, remarked that the roundtable provided a great opportunity for Viathan to highlight the appropriate clean energy solutions suitable for the ICT industry and for the general public.

Alebiosu submitted that Viathan operates a number of power plants in Lagos and its environs by deploying only natural gas and other renewable forms of energy, thereby reducing CO2 emissions that adversely affect the environment.

He called on other ICT and Telecoms organisations to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the company and be connected to Viathan’s network for round the clock power availability with no consequences to their technology and equipment.
