Governor Soludo has scheduled a follow-up visit for the end of the month to monitor milestones, adding that this hands-on approach ensures that the project remains on track to meet its goal of providing a permanent home for the state's growing population of developers, engineers, and entrepreneurs.


The rapid pace of development reflects the urgency of transitioning the state's digital ecosystem from its current temporary facilities to a world-class headquarters.
