The ongoing construction work at the permanent site at Katangowa, Abule Egba Lagos would no doubt, bring huge development to that area. The construction according to the contractor, would be completed in record time. Former Governor Ambode laid the foundation of the modern ICT Market some years back while the current administration is working round the clock to complete the project.

The computer Village in ikeja would be relocated to this location upon completion while the buildings currently occupied by this market in ikeja would be returned to it's residential status. Currently, the Katangowa site is being used by the okrika clothe sellers. This okrika market ranks the largest in Africa. Several people from far and near do visit this market to buy first grade wears and shoes. These okrika sellers would now be relocated to Amikanle/Alaso area of Lagos soon.


The below are some of the pictures of the site

Una nor go create better space now when e Don set finish una go dey move that una satanic bulldozers upandan abi make market suddenly catch fire overnight cause una wan construct the one una go take colobi big money

Computer village cannot stay where it presently is. That place was not in any way designed to be a marlet. It is causing a strain on the community and no sane government will allow it.


The problem to me is the distance of the old site to the new site. It will make relocation difficult but the government had tried to move the "market" to Ikeja along but it didn't work. This time, they might have to be forceful else, we are on the way to watching drama unfold

When this site is complete it will be interesting to
see who will eventually bow to who.

The distance is quite far and the traders will resist being moved.

No matter what, this place can’t size computer village.

Resist u said sis, they don’t have choice except we want to have same experience to the Lagos island with the introduction of CBD

There is already an existing dedicated BRT buses with first class facility that will take anyone down to the new market at Katangowa . That people will resist the relocation is a story for another impossible day

Ikeja is central....This joke will never manifest

Na which year dem go finish this permanent site sef?

We don dey hear am for almost 10 years now.

We really hope they mean it this time.

It's for everyone's good and progress.

Eriokanmi:
those seen are not the new computer village structures. Look at the picture behind the governor's image on the signboard above...that's the replica when completed not what you are currently seeing. Those ones are temporary shops for okrika or akube cloth sellers

We found some pictures of the Final Completion of this gigantic project.

Another one below.......

Imagine buildings that look like abandoned abattoir is what Lagos State government is building in 2021 as a market for computer village This country is really messed up.

Igbos should relocate the hub to Onitsha. Removing the computer village from Ikeja to that slum doesn't make sense. Bring all your computer business headquarters to Onitsha, including opening of your containers. Even if it means transporting some of the goods back to school, let the end users in Lagos bear the added cost while Onitsha becomes cheaper.

I don't think so. Have you been to the place before? As far as it may seem, people from all over Nigeria go there to buy first grade used clothes in bales. Banks have been moving there already. First Bank and zenith are already there. I'd only urge business minded individuals to consider building nice structures around that place now that people eyes aren't yet there. Rent will sore in that place in a couple of years to come. The roads leading to that place from abule egba have been partially tarred by ambode. Sanwoolu is constructing more roads as well.

To all thinking the place looks like abattoir, they should look at the pictures behind the governor's image on that sign board, that's how the real structure would look like when completed. Those seen in the pictures above are being used by the okrika sellers. They're not the new computer Village structures

Let's talk Naira & Kobo.

How much is Tinubu going to rent or sell the shops for us hustlers..... Hope the common man can afford it.

We need to ask Lagos Landlord first.

Is that a prophecy?
