The proposed development, is to offer visitors and tourists a modern, diverse, localised and exciting experience characterised by modern architecture and design, with a wide range of business and recreational facilities of international standard within a serene environment
Business Day reports that the city’s master plan requires an upgrade of the main bowl of the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos and the development of complementary facilities such as a five star hotel, grade A office space, multi-level car park, international shopping mall, water recreation and parks.
The Federal Government has commenced a process seeking partnership with investors to build the city through Public Private Partnership (PPP).
The process which kicked off at a forum in Lagos last week, with the Federal Ministry of Tourism, Culture & National Orientation officially requesting for Expression of Interest from investors for the concessioning of the fallow ground within the Theatre’s premises, is aimed at giving the nation’s cultural heritage a vibrant image that will increase Tourism and also allow concessionaires recoup their investment.
Do you think Nigeria needs an entertainment city now?
