Your points are valid.But as they say variety is the spice of life.

Are you alright if you are comparing NYC to Lagos?
Did you read the first page of this thread to see that we don't know the owner of the abandoned building?

Ile nla.

When the govt remembers this place plenty houses will go, people have built on the surrounding land.

Back in the early 2000s it was an unwritten rule never to pass there in the evening, seems its safer now. Not much gory stories as before.

I can now pass there peacefully even @ 12 midnight

Hmmm. It seems a very solid structure.

Very solid structure that can easily be reclaimed and turned into housing or a hotel. This is where the Lagos government should be lobbying the Federal government.

Time to take wasting Federal Secretariat Ikoyi to ‘next level’

Federal Secretariat Ikoyi

After over three decades of wasting away, serving no purpose other than sitting on prime land in a prime location, time has come for the old Federal Secretariat in Ikoyi, Lagos, to be taken to the next level in line with President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s ‘next level’ agenda.

A national monument, in its own right, the federal secretariat represents a colossal waste in the midst of scarcity and want. It is one of the ‘dead assets’ in Nigeria that makes the need and call for land and property ownership reform in the country not only imperative but also urgent.

Nigeria has a rigid traditional land tenure system that hampers full-scale economic activities on land. This system is the reason for the country’s low industrialisation, housing development, agriculture, and other economic and productive activities that lead to the improved standard of living, job creation and economic growth.

The same rigid land tenure system is the reason for the huge waste the federal secretariat in Lagos has become just like other national monuments scattered all over the country.

The secretariat, which provided office space for federal civil servants while Lagos served as the federal capital, was part of the Federal Government’s properties in Lagos that was offloaded into the property market between 2003 and 2006 by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration in the country.

Be patient. It is not peculiar to have abandoned project like this in mega city, Even as big as New York City is, there are few abandoned mansions nearby covered with weed. Sometimes some of the buildings have controversial owners or insurance/title issue. As sophisticated as NYC is, they don't know owner of some of the buildings.

ediot! Because the White man fails we must also fail.

Why do Nigerian always compare themselves to white men failure, why not compare themselves to his success. Start with silicon valley and Lagos computer village

I attended FGC Ijanikin. During our annual Era mini marathon, we run past the building. Back then in the 90s we observed, the building is sinking. When I last passed there, I noticed some windows were on sand level to show extent of sinking. Money was wasted. I don't think proper soil tests were done

See my seniors o!

Era race then.

It was suppose to be the HEADQUARTERS of the National Social Insurance Trust Fund, NSITF (formerly, National Provident Fund) and was envisaged by Olusegun Obasanjo in 1979 when he was military head of state.

Our wasteful state as usual has left a building of over 18 floors to waste.

Coming towards Okokomaiko, close to the Police Station....there is another abandoned DSS signal mini- barracks that has been there.....grasses have covered the houses sef....just a waste.

Abokis now sell their rams at the entrance.......

Country weak person abeg!

please clarify how ketu is connected to this place...

I had always wondered what this building was meant for. Such a waste! Something needs to be done about it.

I took my first two driving classes here...during the day, of course.
Under the security of my able bodied macho man.
We still gat to settle boys sef before dem let us use that place in peace.

Go there at night at your own detriment!

Yes he is right

I was surprised the day I sighted it from a my girfriend's compound back then 2003 at okerube ( abaranje) a community around ikotun..

Meanwhile her and her friends thought the building was in festac since they have never been there

From their place I can take a bike to igando ..

I think it all depends on geography because that very day I got back home I went to my friends house in okoko that is 4 storey and turned round 360 degrees but the building was never in sight .

Ikotun is different from Okoko...

It's the geography as you say.....but if it's Okoko...i doubt that/
