The first duty of any Government is to keep the public safe. That means recognising that national security is changing. Alongside traditional threats, we need resilience against flooding, extreme heat, and food, water and energy insecurity.

The new narrative cooking is that Eko Atlantic is the cause of the flooding in Lekki. Even though its drainage infrastructure is completely isolated from Lekki and it has the added advantage of preventing coastal erosion. However there seems to be a targeted campaign against every project associated with the president.

The Federal Government has launched the Smart National Transport Data Bank, a major digital infrastructure initiative aimed at integrating real-time transport data across road, rail, air, maritime, and pipeline operations to strengthen national planning, improve logistics, enhance safety, and boost security nationwide. Approved by the Federal Executive Council in May, the initiative is expected to transform Nigeria’s transport governance through intelligent mobility systems, improved traffic management, stronger digital infrastructure, and reduced revenue leakages, while building a more efficient and technology-driven transportation ecosystem.

Chinese cars have video, 3D mapping, and geolocation capabilities – and all of that data is sent back to Beijing. It's like a driving surveillance package. That is a risk to both our economic and national security.

Record-breaking heatwaves. Flash floods. Accelerating extinctions. Climate change deniers will tell you that this is the normal order of the world. But should burnt, brittle and brown fields be normal? Extreme temperatures in our own homes? Species of wildlife disappearing because of human activity? Of course not. We have the answers - we’ve had them for decades. National governments must choose action over apathy and commit to delivering Net Zero, reducing our reliance on oil and gas, and investing in the large-scale green projects we urgently need to cut emissions, adapt to extreme heat, and protect communities from flooding and wildfires. That’s the choice to be made - not just here, but all around the world.

The ongoing Outer Marina shoreline protection project in Lagos is another major step toward safeguarding critical infrastructure and reducing the impact of coastal erosion and flooding along the Marina corridor. Beyond protecting the shoreline, the project is expected to improve environmental resilience, preserve key road networks, and enhance the overall outlook of Lagos Island’s waterfront. A strategic intervention gradually reshaping the future of Lagos’s coastal landscape.

Using old coal mines to heat homes? Gateshead is doing it. Their mine-water project—the UK’s largest—draws 15°C water from boreholes, uses heat pumps to boost it to 80°C, and sends that heat through an underground network. The system now warms 350+ homes and 23 buildings.
