Ronald Chagoury Jr. is a Representative of the Chagoury Group and Vice Chairman of Eko Atlantic, where they’re excited about the work being done to bring Africa to the forefront of global standards and renewable energies. 

For Ronald, sustainability and environmentalism are more than just an interest; he understands that they’re the very foundation of the future. When he was studying in university in 2002 – back when electric cars were too expensive for the mass market and solar energy was too costly an option to be feasible – Ronald was learning and predicting the ways in which renewable energy would take over the market in the coming years. As climate change grows to be a more imminent threat, the push for renewable energy has only grown. 

Now in his career, Ronald has started looking for silver bullets for climate change, the most significant ways we can halt climate change and reverse its effects. One of the cheapest ways we can reverse carbon emissions is by halting deforestation, allowing our planet to use its natural resources to clean the air we breathe. 

Another silver bullet that interests Ronald is how we can create cleaner cities and make existing cities cleaner and greener. It’s this interest that has sparked a green initiatives from Eko Atlantic. 

Together, he and the team are developing Eko Atlantic, a dynamic new city being built in the Atlantic Ocean on reclaimed land adjacent to Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria. Poised to be the new economic Capital of Africa at 10 million square metres, Eko Atlantic is an answer to the ever-growing population of Lagos. 

The global city will offer advanced infrastructure, clean water, underground drainage, as well as self-sufficiency and -sustainability. 

Eko Atlantic is designed to meet the highest standards, including plans to develop an international business district and a marina front district ripe with hospitality. 

In the face of how the media tends to belittle Africa, Ronald Chagoury Jr. is excited for Eko Atlantic to show the world all the ways in which global standards are being set out of Africa.
