Lagos Cancels Concession Agreement With Elumelu’s Company

The Lagos State Government has terminated a concession agreement between Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) and Afriland Properties Plc, a member of Heirs Holdings Group for the redevelopment of Falomo Shopping Centre in Ikoyi.
The state government said the agreement was detrimental to the interests of its residents.
LSDPC entered into the agreement to redevelop the shopping centre with Afriland Properties founded by Mr. Tony O. Elumelu.
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in a statement, terminated the concession agreement with Afriland Properties which has a portfolio size of over N10 billion and adjudged as one of the largest land banks in Nigeria.
