Nigeria's capital city of Abuja is about to get
a new heart: a brand new World Trade Center
complex.
The development is expected to open to the public
early next year after the completion of the first
phase of construction. It will join a network of 323
locations in 89 countries, started in 1970 with the
inauguration of the first World Trade Center in New
York City.
Funded by local and foreign financial institutions, as
well as private investors, to the tune of 200 billion
Nigerian Naira, or just over $1 billion, the WTC Abuja
will be the largest mixed-use development in West
Africa.

WTC Abuja has been under development since 2010, on
a lot spanning over six million square feet in the
Central Business Area of the capital.
The location offers easy access to the city center and
the airport, with a dual-carriage highway
surrounding the site and a new light rail system
currently under construction.
World Trade Center Association Timeline
1939: The World's Fair in Queens, NY, names its
grounds "World Trade Center"
1961: The NY Port Authority approves the WTC
project
1969: the non-profit, non-political organization is
founded in New York
1970: The first 15 members meet in Tokyo
1973: The WTCA moves to the 77th floor of the WTC
in New York
2015: the network reaches 323 members in 89
countries and connects 750,000 companies and
entrepreneurs
For business tenants, though, the most important
connections will be those with the global network of
750,000 entrepreneurs that make up the World Trade
Centers Association (WTCA).
"One of the missions of WTC Abuja is to improve trade
relations between Nigeria and the rest of the world,"
Vinay Mahtani, CEO of the site's developer, Lagos-
based Churchgate Group, told CNN.
"For example, it will enable international businesses
to make investments in our community. Ties will be
forged between government agencies, non-
governmental organizations and international
corporations, and the additional business that is
captured within the walls of the World Trade Center
will provide tax revenues to government which can be
used to improve the welfare of the people."
