StubbornGENIUS:
You must enjoy travelling a lot.

Bagehot:
In the whole of Nigeria? Sure about this?

spiralwedge:
Smh

About 50 years after Ibadan's Cocoa House was built, oil-rich AKS (South-South in general) is celebrating their first high-rise building. Nigeria really dragged SW back.


Make I comment my reserve.

Tolani045:
haha why we you think like that, what type of hope is that?�

Misscongenialit:
Akwa Ibom should be competing favourably with rivers and lagos state, in the sense that they have all it takes to be a business hub. With more of such buildings some oil giants should be proud to move their complexes to the state, next follows the banks and other financial institutions. Dont forget this state is the hub of fintech, wch is the future . This state does not have to be the wall street of network but can be our own texas with just enough to boost the overall economy.
God will continue to bless you

ChiefAfonja:
I hope this is not built by Nigerian Engineers

In less than few years it will risk collapsing if Nigerian Engineers built it.

They like using substandard materials in a bid to get gains while in the contract

Abdulquadrimuha:
We will definitely get there

Dididrumz:
Damn these guys are good.
With structures like these all over the states of the federation, we would soon move from a third class country to second.

Ndipe:
Big deal to have a storey building in Akwa Ibom, please get rid of this mentality. We should aim and strive for something bigger.

Biggest challenge: Electricity.

mordred44:
hope d foundation is solid

Dididrumz:
We need more structures like this.
Thumbs up to them.

Timfreds:
Only if it can be maintain by subsequent administrations, and not sold to fund budgets as buhari is planning to do.

Pharaoh01:
[I just hope it was built strong so we don't hear stories later

mtinfx:
Mobil, Black Rhino and some IOCs will use the building
increase the purchasing power of the area and attract more investment to the state

Onlyonebuhari:
Which first in Nigeria? Better go to VI and Adeniji and see taller ones.

Rawtruth1:
I won't go anywhere around such building in Nigeria

raymondFirstborn:
churchgate is 12floors.
this is 21storey.

uvie66:
Na maintenance remain...

feldido:
Like seriously?

Did you read the post at all?

CodeTemplar:
If you like build 100 of these but don't have security, the oil companies will rather go to Kano and Jigawa than risk their lives for nothing.

Hotzone:
Progressing we are

eaddyboy:
Wonderful Edifice

I Love My State! Akwa Abasi Ibom State

MOGPRAISE:
This will attract international investors and most of the oil companies with head offices outside the state will relocate back to Akwa Ibom sharply.


God bless Akwa Ibomites & Nigerians at large

bmdmixer:
smart as in?

Swingate:
So what is the economic value of having a tall building that requires a lot of money for maintenance? Some governors are so backward, instead of running your state like a business, look into the creative talents of your people and invest on them to create industries, this will create wealth and beautiful buildings will spring up everywhere.

Onyi22:
Hope it will not collapse someday

CodeTemplar:
75% of such buildings in Lagos is owned by south-southerners. Diezani's example is still fresh. She used the lack of such building in SS to incite and gain grass root sympathizers while stealing but once the stealing was successful, she went back to Lagos, bought a water logged land, sand and stone filled it, and put a 20 story structure there to make Lagos look even more developed.

dederocs:
Your people are hungry you are building tall buildings, what is the economic viability of this building, how much will it bring to the state's purse?

Ykc2:
because of tall buildings ?do you know in europe there re no many tall buildings like in asia,

santiagoz:
I don't think this building is taller than church gate or newly constructed world trade centre in Abuja. Nice edifice thou....

Toosure70:
truly afoja leads while others follow, cocoa house 26 storey building was built in 1964.
