She made this commendation at the official unveiling of Guzape Mall in the heart of the nation’s capital city of Abuja.
At the ceremony, the minister described the mall as a vibrant commercial hub that would serve the growing needs of the communities in Guzape and beyond.
“This mall represents progress, vision, and the spirit of development that continues to define Abuja as modern, and one of the fastest growing cities in the world. It is a place for connection, for opportunity, for business growth, and for leisure.
“It provides a platform for local entrepreneurs, job creation for our youths, and a modern space where families and friends can gather and enjoy quality services,” a statement from her SA Media, Austine Elemue quoted the minister.
The minister further noted that the administration’s dedication to modernizing Abuja through sustainable and strategic projects was a testament to its vision for a prosperous and well-connected capital.
According to her, “These developments not only boost economic growth but also reinforce Abuja’s status as a world-class city.”
On her part, the Group Managing Director of Abuja Investment Company Limited, Amb. Maureen Tamuno said the Guzape mall was developed with a development partner, Messrs. Urban Shelter Limited, to demonstrate yet another successful public-private partnership geared towards the advancement of the rapidly populating Guzape District.
She revealed that the Guzabe Mall has provided hundreds of jobs for the locals during the construction period, as the mall opens the door to many more job opportunities in retail, services, hospitality, and maintenance.
Tamuno commended the FCT Administration under the leadership of Barrister Nyesom Wike, and other stakeholders who have played a role in the construction of the Guzabe Mall.
She acknowledged that the development of the mall would not have come to reality without the dedication and collaboration of all stakeholders saying, “Your commitment to excellence and passion for this outstanding project are the foundations of its success.
“We are proud to have reached this milestone in partnership with Urban Shelter Limited, with whom we have successfully undertaken numerous projects.”
According to the statement,
Guzape Mall sits on 1.45 hectares of land, and only 27% of the land is built up area to allow for adequate circulation per Abuja’s development requirements. It also has over 200 parking spaces and 46 commercial spaces.
