The Chronicles of Construction Presents:
Coming Soon on Industry Leaders
In a country where blueprints often fade before buildings rise, and where urban visions get buried beneath bureaucracy, The Chronicles of Construction takes a bold step into the national conversation: Can architects do more than design structures — can they shape society?
This August, we journey to Ibadan, Oyo State, for an eye-opening sit-down with a man who has walked both paths — Arc. Muyiwa Ige FNIA — a highly respected architect, a former government commissioner, past chairman of the NIA Oyo State Chapter, and a Knight of the Anglican Communion
This episode is not just a profile.
It is a call to reflect, to question, and to lead.
