The Ogun State Government, western Nigeria, on Friday
demolished its old Secretariat at Oke-Ilewo in Abeokuta,
the capital.
Mr Mohammed Affez, Lead Urban Designer and Project
Director of Abeokuta City Centre told newsmen in
Abeokuta that it was demolished to give way for new
Abeokuta City Centre project.
Affez said the master plan of the project was being
finalised and would include 60-storey skyscraper hoped
to be the tallest in Africa.
He said the project would be handled and financed by
Urbanisima Ltd., a Malaysian company.
“There would be adjoining structures which would
redefine the landscape of the capital city.
“Others are shopping mall, recreation centre, signature
tower, office complex, hotels and worldclass convention
centre.”
The demolition is being carried out by China Civil
Engineering Construction Corporation (CCEC).
Recently,members of the state’s Technical Committee on
the project visited Malaysia for a week-long training on
the design of its master plan.
