The demolition of the old secretariat at
Oke-Ilewo in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital
was completed on Friday in order to make
way for the new Abeokuta City Centre
project, the Lead Urban Designer and
Project Director of Abeokuta City Centre – Mohammed Affez – has said. Mr. Affez, who was speaking with
journalists in the state capital, said the
master plan of the project was being
finalised and would include a 60-storey
skyscraper intended 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 world class convention centre.” The demolition is being carried out by China
Civil Engineering Construction Corporation
(CCEC). The state’s Technical Committee on the
project recently visited Malaysia for a
week-long training on the design of its
master plan. The project was initiated in 2009 by former
Governor Gbenga Daniel administration
when he relocated Ministries, Departments
and Agencies to the new Secretariat at Oke-
Mosan in Abeokuta.
