Government to move Computer Village market out of Ikeja, announces new site

The Lagos government has confirmed that the relocation of Computer Village in Ikeja is still on track.

Computer Village will be relocated to the newly‑designated ICT and Business Park in Katangowa, Agbado ‑ Oke ‑ Odo.

Permanent Secretary, Office of Urban Development, Arc. Gbolahan Oki made this known during a recent stakeholders’ meeting in Alausa.

He said that the Babajide Sanwo‑Olu administration was committed to completing the relocation and ending the years of unsuccessful attempts.
“The current site, originally a residential area, has been adversely affected by unplanned development, displacing many residents”, he said.

He noted that Governor Babajide Sanwo‑Olu, driven by his vision for sustainable urban development, had directed that the new site meet international standards for a seamless transition.

“The government will provide a 15‑hectare site equipped with facilities such as trailer parks, hotels, banks, a police station, fire station, and other community amenities,” he said.
