The Ogun State Government, western Nigeria, on Friday demolished its old Secretariat at Oke-Ilewo in Abeokuta, the capital.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Affez said the master plan of the project was being finalised and would include 60-storey skyscraper hoped to be the tallest in Africa.<\/p>\n

He said the project would be handled and financed by Urbanisima Ltd., a Malaysian company.<\/p>\n

“There would be adjoining structures which would redefine the landscape of the capital city.<\/p>\n

“Others are shopping mall, recreation centre, signature tower, office complex, hotels and world class convention centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

The demolition is being carried out by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCEC).<\/p>\n

Recently,members of the state\u2019s Technical Committee on the project visited Malaysia for a week-long training on the design of its master plan.<\/p>\n
