The complex boasts of Grade A commercial office spaces, spanning 22 floors and offering over 33,000 square metres of premium lettable space. Complementing this is a 24-floor residential tower featuring 120 super-luxury apartments, designed to meet the highest standards of elegance and functionality.
As one of Abuja’s AAA (triple-A) mixed-use developments, WTC Abuja seamlessly blends functionality with sophistication and amenities include state-of-the-art office spaces, luxury apartments, modern conference facilities, and a clubhouse equipped with a gymnasium, swimming pool, squash courts, tennis courts, a spa, and a dedicated children’s play area.
Minister for Industry, Trade, and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, who gave the commendation during address at the End-of-Year Cocktail Event of WTC Abuja, themed ‘Resilience, Brilliance, and Sophistication, held at the WTC Abuja podium, named Sapphire Soiree, lauded the bold strides and progress in promoting trade, driving real estate investment, and contributing to country’s economic transformation.
According to the minister, the WTC Abuja has firmly established itself as a destination for exceptional living, working, and lifestyle experiences in the city. “I am truly impressed with the WTC Abuja. When individuals and institutions set out to boost trade and exports, they deserve our full support. The current currency challenges present an opportunity for Nigerian businesses to export, as our local products have become globally competitive. Exports are Nigeria’s path to future growth,” she said.
She praised the initiatives of WTC Abuja, describing it as more than a global brand but a “powerful engine for trade facilitation,” which the ministry supports. The minister highlighted the success of WTC Abuja’s recent trade facilitation trip to India, the tech capital of Asia, emphasising the vital role of public-private sector collaboration in driving trade, investment, and foreign direct investment.
While acknowledging the tough economic climate of the past year, Oduwole expressed optimism for 2025, noting that the economy is on the right trajectory. She disclosed that the ministry in 2025 would be empowering Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through exports, leveraging the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) to eliminate trade barriers and open up the African market for Nigerian businesses.
In his remarks, the Vice President of WTC Abuja, Mr Karim Adelaja, highlighted the achievements of WTC Abuja over the past year. These included signing strategic Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with MUSAID Nigeria and WTC Cairo, introducing innovative technologies such as the Smart Check application for building management at the facility, and fostering partnerships across diverse sectors, including oil and gas, defence electronics, and information technology.
“Thanks to our residents and partners, WTC Abuja has become a beacon of opportunity in West Africa and a key player in the global WTC network,” Adelaja said.
WTC Abuja plans to launch Trade Accelerator Programme in 2025 to prepare Nigerian businesses for global markets, leading a delegation of Nigerian businesses to participate in the Global Business Forum (GBF) in Marseille, France, helping to strengthen trade ties and unlocking international opportunities, and integrating cutting-edge security measures to position WTC Abuja as the most secure commercial hub in the region.
There also plans for WTC Abuja Clubhouse, a private hub aimed at enhancing recreation, culture, and community well-being for residents, will be unveiled in the first quarter of 2025. “Our mission is to attract international brands, foster innovation, and unlock global opportunities for Nigerian enterprises. WTC Abuja is more than a landmark; it is Nigeria’s gateway to global trade,” Adelaja added.
Also speaking, the Head of Trade Services at WTC Abuja, Mr David Oke, announced two MOUs signed with the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) and AfriLabs, a Pan-African network of over 450 innovation hubs.
He said: “The partnership with AfriLabs focuses on advancing digital trade, technology commercialisation, and entrepreneurship across Africa. It also includes cross-promotion of events, ecosystem convenings, and exploring opportunities in key sectors such as agriculture, health, and education.”
