Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, the Forbes-rated billionaire Chairman of the BUA Group, is now putting finishing touches to his multi billion naira 12-Storey office complex of the BUA Group, located beside Churchgate Building, in the less boisterous part of Victoria Island, Lagos.
The all-glass edifice, with its commanding, baroque presence would occasion a lot of double takes while a cursory stroll into its bowels would leave so much to see and salivate about especially in the main hall with the proposed ceiling fresco.
A visit to the place today was quite an experience! Even at its barely completed stage, it is already competing for the finest and most equipped office in the street and beyond. A testament of class, pristine and exquisitely burnished with class, the building emphasizes without much effort, the sheer tastefulness of the owner. The attention to detail that characterizes the structure is excellent; both the interior and exterior decor were carefully chosen and planned with flawless finesse.
As a result, many people have turned BUA’s new office complex into a Mecca of sort. They have been going there to take pictures. Not surprisingly, it is being constructed by Cappa and D’Alberto, the giant construction firm that had been operating in Nigeria since 1932.
The Kano-born billionaire, reputed for his fine taste in all things of life that money can buy, is sparing no expense in constructing an office complex that can compete and compare favourably with any in its class across the globe. Sources say all the furnishings and fittings and equipments were imported from various shopping cities of the world like Paris, New York, London and Italy.
As the entire staff of BUA Group look forward to working from such magnificent office, so too do passersby and neighbours who are beginning to imagine how the building would beautify and brighten up the street at all times of the day.
BUA group is one of Nigeria’s largest conglomerates specializing in Cement, Manufacturing, Port Operations, Sugar Refinery, Edible Oil, Shipping & Real Estate and many more.
