Gov Amosun Sets To Build Africa’s Tallest Building,60-Storey

The Ogun State Government on Friday completed the demolition of its old Secretariat at Oke-Ilewo in Abeokuta.
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.
Mr. Affez said the master plan of the 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.
"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.
