The relocation of Computer Village still stands-Lagos Govt

Lagos State Government, has insisted it will relocated the largest ICT, hub in the country popularly called Computer Village, to another location in the state. Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, cleared air on controversy surrounding the relocation in a statement made available to newsmen yesterday. Ayorinde said:

“The Ikeja Model City Master Plan designated the present Computer Village for residential use and that the government will adhere to the plans to make the area more organized, serene and habitable.” Ayorinde also hinted that the State Government has not issued permit to any individual or organization for construction of an ICT specialized mall directly sited beside the newly built Ikeja Bus Terminal. The commissioner added that such move is not in line with the state government’s regeneration plan for the capital city. Hinting on plans already embarked upon to ensure quick relocation of the market,
