He said the eight storey centre located at Memorial Drive, by Shehu Musa Yar'adua's Centre has entertainment and retail shops sections.

"In the entertainment section, we have cinemas with 12 screen multiplex as well as various galleries for business class and first class persons," he stated.

According to him, the Very Important Personality (VIP) gallery are for those that need first class treatment.

"In the VIP gallery, limousine services exist, where if someone is celebrating a birthday or a special event with friends, the group can book with the cinema management for a limo to pick the guests at a chosen place to a private escalator in the centre.

The guests are taken to the VIP gallery to watch movies in comfort," he explained.

Mr Asumah disclosed that the smallest VIP hall has 19 seats while the biggest has 27, adding that a seat in that section costs N3,500 from Monday to Thursday, while on Friday to Sunday a seat is N5,000 and limo services along with champagne for three cost N500,000 for 27 persons.

He said in the normal section, a seat costs N1,500 for adult, N800 for children, while students with valid identity card pay N1,000 from Monday to Thursday.

"From Friday to Sunday adults pay N2,000 and we show any movies so far as it has quality," he added.

He disclosed further that there are 57 retail outlets within the building, ranging from children stores to house hold items, Jewelleries as well as fashions for men, women and children, adding that there is also a cyber zone where people can play computer games and buy Ice cream.

Jide said books, music, gyms and manicure stores also exist in the complex.

The cinema is mostly finished and open to the public. Went and watched a film there in October, I was SOOOOO impressed, we dont have them like that in London. It was really nice, there is also a bowling alley along with arcade games. Also there are shops, where you can buy perfume from around the world etc, and there is even a Nandos, but its not open yet.

When going to pay for my ticket I saw Ben Bruce and almost wet myself, lol

I was impressed and proud. It was 1,500 for one ticket though so they need to make it more affordable so it doesn't just become a place for rich families.
