Managing Director of Wemabod, Mr Barshir Oladunni on Wednesday, said that the company is committed to real estate excellence, economic empowerment, and infrastructural transformation.

Mr Oladunni made this known while speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of Awolowo Tech Mall, in Ikeja, Lagos.

The Wemabod MD stressed that the the Mall “will be a smart, sustainable facility positioned to host leading technology firms, startups, and service providers; a future-forward ecosystem for innovation and enterprise”.

According to Mr Oladunni, “The new Awolowo Tech Mall will more than double the commercial space from 4,800 sqm to approximately 9,000 sqm”, adding, “This expansion aligns with Wemabod’s strategic direction to increase market share and contribute meaningfully to the state’s economic development.

” This moment marks a significant milestone in the history of Wemabod Limited and the economic evolution of Ikeja and Lagos State.This very site, formerly known as the Obafemi Awolowo House, has been an enduring symbol of innovation since its design by Towry Coker Associates in 1978″, he said.

Mr Oladunni added, “Featuring one of Nigeria’s earliest glass curtain walls, it became a hub for top-tier institutions and achieved 100% occupancy due to its strategic location and modern appeal.

” As urban infrastructure improves, development evolves and the use of land changes. Wemabod Limited, in partnership with El-Salem Nigeria Limited, is seizing the opportunity to reimagine this landmark’.

The Wemabod MD stressed, “With new planning permissions and the repositioning of Ikeja’s Central Business District, we are transforming this historic site into a 21st-century digital and commercial powerhouse.
