For many Lapo babies, this looks familiar—grandfather’s home, uncle’s house, daddy’s inherited property in the village, and more.

These structures reflect rich cultural heritage, but they are vulnerable to collapse, especially under extreme weather caused by climate change.

Their fragility underscores the rising statistics of building collapses and the urgent need to integrate modern structural reinforcements.

While vernacular architecture offers diversity, identity, and a deep sense of belonging, it is important to renovate and adapt these homes to ensure they remain strong, resilient, and sustainable for generations to come.

Last week, Thrivescape Initiative participated in the 2026 retreat of the Action Group on Free Civic Space (AGFCS) held in Abuja.

The retreat provided a valuable opportunity to engage with more than 40 civil society organizations, civic actors, activists, and journalists to reflect on the coalition’s collective efforts in 2025. It also created space to identify opportunities to disrupt, reform, and transform the current security architecture in ways that advance and protect civic space in Nigeria.

As a new NGO member of the coalition, the retreat broadened our understanding of the different dimensions of civic space shrinkage and strengthened our appreciation of the strategic actions required to safeguard civic freedoms.

It also provided insight into the various ways we can contribute meaningfully to expanding civic rights and promoting an enabling environment for all civic actors. A special appreciation to Adekanye Boluwatife for proudly representing Thrivescape Initiative and contributing to conversations on strengthening civic space in Nigeria.

A big shout out to Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri for her leadership

About 70 percent of the population lives in informal settlements (Amnesty International 2017)

Access to adequate housing is a right.

Government has a responsibility to do everything necessary to guarantee it.

In Lagos, the housing challenge is real. For many families, housing is not a choice. It is a daily struggle.

Urban policy must respond to this reality.

Demolition should not replace housing solutions.

Cities must prioritize affordable housing, inclusive planning, and protection of vulnerable communities.

Because decent housing is not a privilege, it is a right.

Know Your Rights!!!

Demolition without proper notice, zero consultation, zero regard for court injuncton, no alternative shelter is a blantant violation of human rights.

These are not just planning issues.
They are human rights issues.

At Thrivescape, we are organizing a sensitization session on demolition and human rights to equip communities with the knowledge to prevent demolition and protect their rights.

If you would like to invite us to your community, register here: https://lnkd.in/d9uPwi2X

Are you living in Lagos and worried about forced eviction and demolition?

Many residents do not fully understand government demolition procedures, their legal rights, or how to properly engage authorities before enforcement actions take place. Lack of information often leaves communities vulnerable and unprepared.

Thrivescape Initiative is bringing Demolition Sensitization and Rights Based Urban Planning Sessions directly to communities across Lagos.

This session will help you:
1. Understand government demolition procedures
2. Know your rights and available legal protections
3. Learn how to engage authorities lawfully and effectively
4. Join the movement promoting safe and inclusive urban development

Whether you are a community leader, youth group, market association, school, church, mosque, landlord association, or resident group, you can invite us to your location.

To request a session, send a mail to [email protected] stating your location and proposed training date and time.

Thrivescape Initiative works at the intersection of human rights, environmental design, and urban development to build safer and informed communities.

As we create wishlists for Santa and the new year, it is important to remember that having a house as a wishlist item or planned goal goes beyond the purchase of blocks and cement. It starts with planning.

Building a house is one of the biggest investments a person can make. The smartest approach is to prepare early by understanding the land conditions, securing proper documentation, and setting aside resources for professional design and supervision. These steps may not be visible at first, but they determine the safety, durability, and value of the building.

Rather than rushing into construction, focus on investing in the right foundations. This includes soil testing, engaging qualified professionals, and budgeting for quality materials. Proper planning helps prevent delays, reduces waste, and avoids costly corrections in the future.

As you plan your investments, think beyond completing a structure. Think about building a home that is safe, resilient, and able to serve generations. The best buildings are not those started in haste, but those planned with intention.

Wishing you peace and purpose all through the month.

Happy new month of December

Each year disasters claim lives destroy property and roll back hard earned development gains. Most of these losses are not inevitable as they result from chronic underinvestment in resilience preparedness and safe infrastructure.

In Nigeria recurring cases of building collapses flooding and other urban emergencies continue to reveal the true cost of neglecting resilience. The reality is clear that when we fail to fund safety we end up funding tragedy.

The millions of naira spent on relief materials emergency response and post disaster rehabilitation as well as the manpower and resources used to clear collapsed buildings could be drastically reduced if we invested early in systems and infrastructure that prevent such events. Beyond the financial losses the human cost which includes lives lost and families displaced can never be recovered.

As we commemorate the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction we join the global call for a shift in priorities from reactive spending after disasters to proactive investments in prevention risk governance and safe construction practices.

Resilience must be funded not the aftermath of its absence.

We have compiled a list of key factors every tenant should consider before renting an apartment.

Beyond the beauty of the paint and tiles, your safety depends on how well a building is designed, constructed, and maintained.

Many of the collapses and demolitions recorded across the country could have been prevented if tenants paid closer attention to these warning signs.
