NIGERIA'S WORLD TRADE CENTER TO OPEN IN 2013

The FCT Administration is partnering with the Churchgate Group to build one of the most gigantic structures in Africa – the World Trade Centre. The Minister of FCT, Bala Mohammed announced this at the construction site of the project in Abuja. The project is to attract more foreign direct investment to the FCT. When completed, the edifice would be the tallest building on the African continent with facilities like office accommodation, entertainment and recreational facilities, world-class conference room, shopping mall, service apartments, among others.

 

The World Trade Centre Project covers about 62,000 square meters and will consist of a twin tower of thirty seven floors and three basements and is currently providing employment for about one thousand people working at the construction site. The project is being executed at a cost of $1.2billion. Not bad at all, impressive even. I just pray it isn't abandoned half way. Pics of the on-going project after the cut...
