As part of implementation strategies for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) has finalized plans to construct an ultra-modern shopping center on 10 hectares of land along Airport road, Abuja, where other Africans can visit and conduct business and purchase Nigerian goods.
This information was made public yesterday in Abuja during the center’s groundbreaking ceremony by Dr. Al-Mujtaba Abubakar, President of the Abuja Chamber of Trade and Industry.
He said that City Space Properties Ltd. and Jaiz Bank will collaborate on the project’s development and execution.
The project, he said, “will achieve the chamber’s mission of promoting and sustaining business development in the Federal Capital Territory and lead the private sector in the delivering of sustainable growth and prosperity.
“He added that the shopping center would have a parking lot, an asphalt dual carriageway entrance road, a banking facility, a crèche, a clinic, a mosque, a chapel, a police station, a fire station, security surveillance cameras, waste management points, and a control room in addition to high-end stores, regular retail stores, warehouses, cold rooms, stalls, and cafés and restaurants.”
The shopping center, according to the Minister of Trade and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, will help Nigeria’s economy expand and thrive.
