demolished its old Secretariat at Oke-Ilewo
in Abeokuta, the capital. Speaking to newsmen in Abeokuta, Mr
Mohammed Affez, Lead Urban Designer and
Project Director of Abeokuta City Centre,
said it was demolished to give way for new

project was being finalised and would
include a 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. Members of the state’s Technical
Committee on the project recently visited
Malaysia for a week-long training on the
design of its master plan. “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 world class convention centre,”
Affez said. The demolition is being carried out by China
Civil Engineering Construction Corporation
