Lugo Construction Ltd has been awarded the prestigious Sustainable Construction Award by the Nigerian Green Building Council (NGBC), recognizing its innovative efforts in eco-friendly building practices and leadership in sustainable development. This award, presented during a ceremony in Lagos, highlights Lugo Construction’s forward-thinking approach in integrating renewable energy and locally sourced materials into its affordable housing projects.
Lugo Construction has been at the forefront of addressing Nigeria’s growing housing needs while ensuring environmental sustainability. The company’s success in incorporating solar power and energy-efficient designs into its residential developments has made it a standout in the industry.
The NGBC reviewing panel praised Lugo Construction for its “remarkable innovation in sustainable building practices” and highlighted the company’s role in making eco-friendly homes more accessible to low- and middle-income families.
“Lugo Construction Ltd has not only demonstrated leadership in sustainability but also provided an outstanding model for how affordable housing can be environmentally responsible.

Our commitment is to continue innovating in this space, providing homes that not only meet the needs of today but also protect our environment for future generations,” said Chiama during the ceremony.
Lugo Construction’s approach to sustainability involves the use of solar energy in all new housing projects, a step that significantly reduces the carbon footprint of residential construction. In addition, the company prioritizes using locally sourced materials to minimize environmental impact and reduce construction costs, making its housing solutions affordable for a wider range of families.
