Abstract
Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the mover of all technological innovations has transformed all fields of human endeavour to researchable compact elements of the Globe and thereby proffers unique solutions to various problems emanated in our habitants due to unchecked population growth. Geometric growth in human population has increased energy consumption, soil and other non-renewable resources at human disposal, which adversely exposed our Cities to risk of climatic changes such as: severe weather events, heating, soil erosion, and flooding which is current in States of Nigeria. The outright solution to all these identified issues are embedded in the concept of Smart City that is characterised with smart economy, smart people, smart mobility, smart environment and smart living. As it obtained in Cities like Singapore, Barcelona, New York City and many others. If Nigeria is to meet its goal on safer environment, devoid of any natural disaster which is mostly caused by climate change, the idea of smart cities should be looked into. This paper has shown that ICT can be used as a better instrument of cleaning up our environments better than it though. As a solution, the smart city concept would help Nigeria to realise her national goal on environment.
