BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 18. Experiences from the
13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) held in Baku are
planned to be applied in Nigeria, Nigerian urban planning expert
Faiz Ezi told Trend on the sidelines of WUF13.
In her opinion, WUF13 will contribute to the expansion of
cooperation between countries in terms of solving housing
problems.
The expert said that the housing problem in the world is of a
global nature, and the forum is an important platform for
exchanging relevant experience.
"We have come from Nigeria to participate in WUF13. The main
topic of the forum is housing in the world. We arrived in
Azerbaijan a few days ago and have already observed that great
attention is paid to the construction of residential buildings
here. The architectural designs are very interesting, and there are
experiences worth learning," she stressed.
Ezi noted that they plan to apply the knowledge and experience
gained within the framework of the forum in Nigeria.
"We are also facing a housing problem in Nigeria. We'll try to
adapt what we have learned here to the local conditions after
returning to our country. We expect more useful results in the
coming days of the forum," she added.
She also touched upon the importance of high-level
representation of the Nigerian leadership at the forum, saying that
this could create opportunities for new collaborations and possible
signing of memorandums.
"We need this. I think the negotiations will contribute to the
development of both Nigeria and the world," Ezi concluded.
