The Tallest building in Nigeria

Intercontinental Hotel Tower
Nigeria is the most heavily populated and one of the most economically developed nations on the African Continent. However, advanced development is significantly localized around two areas: Lagos Island (Lekki) and Abuja. Beyond these two economic centres, development is marginal and poverty is still prevalent despite government efforts. However, key marginal areas have experienced rapid growth recently.

The tallest building recently completed is 'Intercontinental Lagos' on Lagos Island, at 100 m (328 ft) tall (23 storey). Built at a cost of N30bn, the hotel, located at Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, has 358 rooms and 37 suites, including a presidential one. Intercontinental Lagos, a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Hotel Group, is owned by the Milan Group. This development showed that Nigeria's economy is witnessing growth daily.

The new sector is the tourism sector. This is the only virgin sector in the country and it will help address the challenges of unemployment in the country.

This new building is the tallest built in Nigeria in the 21st century. Many other construction projects are currently ongoing, such as Eko Atlantic City, a massive redevelopment of the Lagos Waterfront which will include an entirely new sustainable city off the coast of Nigeria. 

This new development will be equipped with residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, parks, a financial district, condo towers and also massive skyscrapers.  Once completed, this development will forever change the way the world views Nigeria.

The 15 Most Profitable Small-Business Industries

Being talented with numbers can really pay off if you’re looking to start a profitable business. Accounting and tax services takes the top spot on the list of the most profitable type of small business with a generous 18.4 percent net profit margin followed by real-estate services (15.2 percent), law firms (14.5 percent) and doctor’s offices (13 percent) reports Sageworks, a financial data service that analyzed the net profit margin of more than 16,000 small businesses (that earned less than $10 million) between September 2014 and August 2015.

This is generally due to lower overhead and startup costs. A lot of these industries you can start from your house.” Whil

‘Ignored smallholder farmers account for 80% of Africa’s agric production’

Worried by the inconsistency in the continent’s agricultural practice, especially in relation to investment in large-scale commercial farms, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Anan and other stakeholders have decried neglect of smallholder farmers, stating that more than 80 per cent of African agricultural production come from them. According to the stakeholders, Africa’s smallholders are more than capable of feeding the continent—so long as they boost their yields by using the latest agronomic practices in combination with appropriately adapted seeds and fertilizer. Although investors in Nigeria’s agricultural value-chain may have found appeal in out-grower schemes, the stakeholders noted that allocating large blocks of land to foreign investors, reserving water for industrial-sized operations, and concentrating research and development on a few cash crops doesn’t help most farmers. Similarly, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has ide
