Innovative Approaches to Sustainable Building Practices in Nigeria: Advancing Green Construction Through Local Materials and Technological Integration: A Case Study of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC)

Abstract: Nigeria needs to rethink how its cities grow by adopting building methods that are both eco-friendly and affordable. This review looks closely at how sustainable construction is being used in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC). It focuses on the combining local materials with modern technology to create smarter and greener buildings. Through the use of real-life examples, research studies, and government policies from Nigeria, the paper examines how green building methods can help reduce harm to the environment, reduce construction costs, and save energy. It also discusses the benefits and challenges of using these methods. Furthermore, the study adds to global conversations by showing how local creativity and the smart use of technology can help improve sustainable building in growing countries like Nigeria.
