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.

hope d foundation is solid

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

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.

Kingrefreshed:
Everyone pause a second.

Just imagine we have 20 buildings like this in one street,Left and right.

Imagine it all the state Capitals in Nigeria.

What is Las vegas??

Oh i remember Nepa!

You no well

Hunchogee:
Nope dear, first in Nigeria google it ( first smart building in 9ja)

In the whole of Nigeria? Sure about this?

AdaoraNK:
Yes at the Central Business District (CBD), have be there twice

You must enjoy travelling a lot.

This isn't the tallest in SS. There's also a 21 storey building in Rivers State -- the Secretariat

Even with all of this Akwaibomites will still not relocate to the state, they are all over PHC, I hope that these developments will make them go back home and contribute to the development of our dear state. Akwaibomites are very enterprising with very high technical ability.

their governor is really working

Not government project... it's Mobil

fergie001:
You dey crase

The thought of Nepa refusing to supply light to those 20 buildings like this at night just struck me.

It will be a terrifying sight and feeling walking through 20 towers like this without light on one street.

Beautiful!

"The Tower which has added aesthetics to the landscape of Akwa Ibom will run with 24 hours power supply and contains all necessary facilities and equipment of a smart building including: 4 elevators, 2 emergency exit, fire protection sensors and aviation wing"

this is not smart building...these are essential requirements in high rise buildings based on building standards.

Smart building is the classification of all your building elements,and products into a model so that you can control whatever parameter you want from costing to green emission issues or even IOT

longetivity:
their governor is really working

Do they have universal health care and education?

What is the status of their electricity, logistics, distribution and seaports that will attract investment?

longetivity:
their governor is really working

What is working here. It's only to insult Sai Baba una Sabi.

Can you imagine what this money used to build this building will do to state health infrastructures alone not to mention other areas begging for attention?

Is this building the problem Ukwa Ibomites are facing? It's a misplaced priority and waste of funds.

80% business. Sure love traveling. It will keep you abrest of what Nigeria and Nigerians look like both human and infrastructure

uvie66:
Na maintenance remain...

Politics and maintenance. How well has Udom managed the 5 point Sheraton and the international hospital he inherited? The same way he treated Akpabio's projects might be what happens to his own when power changes hands. I prefer private investors building industries and highrises not government.

This kind building full onitsha na

mamaafrik:
The is impressive........

Lol

I hope there was already a market for this building before the project. From the post, only two companies showed intent to take up space.
Let's not see unoccupied or abandoned office spaces in this building please. It looks too fine to be unoccupied

mamaafrik:
The is impressive........like dem akwa babes

You too like kelewa

From the picture,It's not possible for the building to be 108 meters high because no floor is more than 3 meters or even 4 meters.If you calculate the 21 floors with the down stairs,It's 88 meters.As we can see the building does not have high roof structure.

Akwa ibom no dey carry last, one of the best states in Africa.

....and worse still if they want to run on Generators, serious extra cost.

Is it taller compared to the local content headquarters building in bayelsa

Nice one, successive AKS Governors dey try on infrastructure. So far so good.
Her neighbour Abia state has been unlucky that regard.

Hunchogee:
You too like kelewa

Forget...Una babes dey make too much sense, abeg!

Good one....you guys have been lucky with Governors....the worst of them is better than some State Govs.

Kudos to my neighbours.

Akwa Ibom ayaya

Abi no be so dem they talk am? Correct me if I'm wrong

Naso

Congratulations in advance to the government and people of Akwa Ibom state.
I actually took my time to read the whole piece with the hope to see a statement like " ... Upon completion, the property will be managed by XYZ which is global leader in property management like so and so building in VI, New York, Thailand and Dubai ”. I was however disappointed not to see any similar statement. This implies that the state government will manage it herself. My concern is maintenance and sustainability!

campbelljosh:
Yes. I saw something like this around ikoyi, Lagos. Not far from cowries port

Correct

It reminds me of that movie ‘Skyscraper’ by Dwane johnson..
