Lakunle Runsewe, Chief Executive Officer of Stretford Hill Limited, has reiterated the need to prioritise safety, ensure durability and uphold the standards required to deliver infrastructure that remains functional and secure over time.
‘As Nigeria continues to develop, we must be deliberate about how we plan, construct and maintain our infrastructure,’ Runsewe stated during the 10th sustainability table series, held in Lagos recently.
Runsewe reiterated the company’s commitment to delivering dependable construction and infrastructure solutions that meet professional standards and create lasting value for businesses and communities.
According to him, the company’s participation as an indigenous construction and infrastructure company highlighted the role of the built sector in translating sustainability priorities into tangible outcomes through responsible project delivery, sound engineering, efficient resource use and quality construction.
‘The true value of infrastructure is not measured by what we build alone, but by what it makes possible for people, businesses and communities.
‘At Stretford Hill Limited, these principles guide our approach to delivering infrastructure that meets present needs and serves future generations,’ Runsewe stated.
Themed ‘Leading the Sustainable Development Agenda: People, Planet, and Prosperity,’ the conference explored practical approaches to advancing sustainable development.
At its exhibition stand, Stretford Hill highlighted its capabilities across building construction, civil and structural engineering, project management, interior fit-outs and furnishing, specialised architectural metal works, fabrication and facilities support.
According to him, the exhibition provided a platform to engage industry stakeholders, exchange perspectives on the built environment and strengthen professional relationships.
The conference also highlighted the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors in advancing sustainable development.
For the construction industry, translating these priorities into practical outcomes requires sound planning, technical expertise and consistent attention to quality and safety throughout the project lifecycle.
