Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike flagged off the construction of the Abuja City Walk project, a world-class mixed-use development modelled after Dubai’s iconic City Walk.
The project will create a vibrant, mixed-use urban hub and will feature a 450-metre skyscraper projected to become Africa’s tallest tower, as well as commercial, retail, medical, hospitality, institutional and luxury facilities when completed.
The development will also include a 13,000-seat indoor arena expected to become Nigeria’s largest indoor sports and entertainment venue, alongside an arts district with about 12,000 square metres of exhibition and performance space.
Other features include “The Living Ravine,” an ecological corridor built around a sustainable “Sponge District” concept that uses wetlands, swales, and green waterways for flood management, rainwater harvesting, and climate resilience.
The launch of the project was done by President Tinubu, who was represented by Vice President Shettima, while FCT Minister Nyesom Wike announced that all access roads to the project site have been completed by the FCT administration.
