Lagos, Ikeja Computer Village stakeholders’ reach final deal on relocation, but..
Strong indications emerged weekend on the possibility of the famous Ikeja Computer Village being finally relocated to a new proposed permanent site, to Katangowa in Agbado/Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area.
This is as many of the traders and mainly associations in the market who are mainly none indigenes complained of poor awareness of the entire plan on grounds of not being carried along.
