Arrangements have been concluded to relocate all
computer dealers in Ikeja to Katangowa Internet
City, in Oke Odo area of Lagos State, in the first
quarter of 2014, the government has disclosed.
Speaking at a recent media parley, on the activities
of his ministry, Commissioner for Science and
Technology, Mr Adebiyi Mabadeje, said all major
players in the Information Technology, IT, industry
would soon be moved to the 15 hectares of land
axis, assuring that it would generate jobs for
hundreds of Lagos residents when it finally kicked
off.
“I can’t categorically say when we are moving them
to the city, but we are working towards the first
quarter of next year. We are discussing with all
stakeholders in the market to ensure the success of
the project. All the traders at the market now, will
be fully carried along in the project.”
“The new market will be a modern standard market
that will serve as one stop shop for IT industry. This
will further enhance business in a friendly and
enabling environment that will add value and
ensure accessibility,” he said.
Dispelling rumours making rounds over non-
functioning of over 100,000 Close Circuit TV
Cameras installed across the state by the Federal
Government, Mabadeje said the cameras have been
activated for effective surveillance and crime
monitoring.
The government also disclosed that no fewer than
100,000 residents had been captured by the Lagos
Residents Registration Agency, LASRAA from the
beginning of this month.
