The Green Line White Dots Initiative is a Nigerian social infrastructure development strategy conceptualised and proposed by MDG Investment Company Limited to catalyse and accelerate investment in social infrastructure across Nigeria. Implementation of the Green Line White Dots Initiative is undertaken by GLWD Investment Company Limited.
GLWD's mandate is to design, build, operate, and scale integrated social infrastructure, including basic and secondary schools, primary healthcare centres, sports complexes, and enabling city infrastructure, through a private sector led, sustainability focused model. The programme targets underserved communities nationwide and aligns directly with UN SDGs, notably SDG 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 17, as well as Nigeria's human capital development priorities.
Delivery is anchored on the Education City model. Each Education City is a 100-hectare master-planned zone that houses the Education Centre Complex, consisting of a school, a primary healthcare centre, and a sports centre. It also includes a broader city platform incorporating housing, commercial areas, roads, drainage, utilities, and transport, so that social infrastructure is delivered within a complete and functional community environment.

Pillar 02 – Healthcare: GLWD Healthcare Development Company Limited
Develops, constructs, operates, and manages greenfield primary and tertiary healthcare facilities. At least one functional Primary Health Centre (PHC) in each political ward. Targets reduction of maternal and infant mortality across Nigeria.
Pillar 03 – Sports: GLWD Sports Development Company Limited
