Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has backed the Builders and Construction Skilled Artisans Association of Nigeria (BACSAAN) in its efforts to combat the effects of climate change in the nation.

Akeredolu extended his support through his Senior Special Assistant on Multilateral, Mr Felix Alonge at the launch of the BACSAAN arm led by women in Ondo State and its southwest zonal coordinators.

BACSAAN was established to assist in the dissemination of the government’s policies and programmes and build a stronger force for securing the government’s recognition, patronage and partnership in combating climate change effects.

The association consists of professionals in building, construction, art, craft and allied fields.

The National President of the association, Alhaji Fasasi Muhammed-Jamiu, in his keynote address, urged all the prospective members and the EXCOS “to be in unity and be committed to working in this era of climate change that requires actions for sustainable developments.”

He said the group would promote professionalism that would meet up with international standards.

In his words, “If flooding persists in Nigeria, BACSAAN, through a vibrant dynamic leadership, will seek support to train and re-train their members to produce buildings, materials and clothes that will be climate-change compliant.”

On her part, BACSAAN’s National Women Leader, Dr Jumoke Aborode, called on the women to be ready for more innovations through training, exposure and access to good leadership.
