Phanuel B. Joshua leads Nigeria thrills the world with prestigious Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Sustainable Development for outstanding credentials
13 May, 2015, Nigeria, USA NEWS CORP
Phanuel B. Joshua is helping to cultivate world''s future scientists. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to excel. In historic victory the celebrity scientists: Phanuel B. Joshua honored with Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Sustainable Development. Ahead of several thousands competitors, Phanuel B. Joshua representing Nigeria won prestigious Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Sustainable Development. Again Nigeria has proved its International leadership via producing brilliant scientists in the form of Phanuel B. Joshua. IASR expressed, 'It is a privilege to have such international celebrity from Sustainable Development among us who will shape the future of this domain.' Phanuel B. Joshua made International news headlines while IASR announced them among World’s 500 Most Influential Geologist for Year 2015 on Earth.
Phanuel B. Joshua was born on the 4th of February, 1975 into the family of Mr. and Mrs Joshua. He attended Kwambola primary school (1983-1988), Government Secondary School, Uba, Adamawa State (1988-1993), University of Maiduguri (1994-1999), Federal University of Technology, Yola (2006-2010). He is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Geography, University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria. He is happily married with two kids (Princess and Peggy).
Phanuel B. Joshua from Nigeria made a historical victory over the international competition and won Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Sustainable Development. His research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'The Journal of Energy and Environmental Science'. In his report on The Role of Environmental Planning in the Struggle for Sustainable Development in Nigeria he mentions that There has been a rising concern in the way the environment and the resource therein are utilized. In most cases, the environment is used in an unsustainable manner thereby jeopardizing the future of the Biophysical environment, Socio-economic environment and the Built environment. There is the need for environmental planning for sustainable development. This paper focuses on Environmental planning which is the process of facilitating decision making to carry out development with due consideration given to the natural environmental, social, political, economic and governance factors and provides a holistic frame work to achieve sustainable outcomes. The materials for the paper were obtained from archived documents, Urban Planning books and internet sources. The goals for this review paper are to organize the environment through proper planning of the various components therein with a view to striking a balance between them for sustainability and to awaken the consciousness of the public to the use of green building technologies especially in Nigeria particularly and Africa in general. Proper land use planning, Flood control and Sanitation planning has also been advanced as panacea for archiving sustainability. The use of these strategies will impact positively on the environment and the society. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Phanuel B. Joshua as valuable intellectuals for the Nigeria offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for Nigeria is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus Nigeria which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Phanuel B. Joshua to world.
The place of environmental planning in the drive towards achieving sustainable development cannot be over emphasized especially considering the fact that human health is at stake and biodiversity in general. The use of the green building or rather its introduction in Nigeria will go a long way towards avoiding wastage of environmental resources for sustenance; this has succeeded in other parts of the world. Improper Land use planning has been observed to be the bane for achieving sustainable development especially in the urban areas because it entails proper course of action that embraces environmental friendliness and sustainability. Human health has been established to have a link with the cleanliness of the environment; therefore, sanitation is encouraged to achieve a sustainable environment and development through flood control. Using these sustainability strategies discussed earlier in the paper will ensure environmentally friendly and healthy society. Environmental auditing will serve as a check on the use of the biophysical, socioeconomic, and the built environment. A planned environment is a sustainable environment.
Environmental planning is required within the context of sustainable development. The need for Green building technologies (sustainable building) for environmentally responsible and resource-efficiency throughout the lifecycle of the structure. Ensuring proper Land use planning for compatibility, complementarity, comprehensiveness, and economy in the use of land. Sustainable flood control and sanitation through planning approach. Environmental auditing to ensure best practices are adhered to in the use of environment in Nigeria.
The limitations in this research/paper comprise absence of maps from relevant organizations in Nigeria to show the areas affected by ravages of unsustainable use of the environment. The limited planning data of various towns and cities as well as updated plan maps also posed challenges in the course of writing this paper.
The policy aspect of the environmental sustainability and planning looks good on paper but enforcement framework is weak in Nigeria. Some of the environmental laws need amendment and stringent legislation be put in place for proper workability. Funding for implementation of say the Green building technologies can be done through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP).
The need to explore the use of green building technologies in Nigeria is the initiative of the author of this paper because of the sustainability drive and environmental resource-efficiency idea in it.
