Yesterday, December 16th, the governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, commissioned the Festival Mall.

Facilities of the establishment include 500 car parking lots, sewage treatment plant, water treatment plant, Fire Alarm & Fire Fighting System, 24/7 CCTV Surveillance System, Armed Police Patrol, Independent Power Plant, and 47 retails shops.

Other attractions are Golden Tulip Hotel & Conference Centre and The Residences, a block comprising of 195 Apartments.

According to the Managing Director of UPDC Plc., Mr. Hakeem Ogunniran, the mall was built for residents of Festac and it's environs.

“Festival Mall project was conceptualized in 2011, generally due to absence of modern formal retail channels in Festac and its environ. The mall was born out of UPDC‘s  desire to create a destination point for Lagos State residents around Festac, Amuwo-Odofin, Mile 2, Ojo, Alaba, Orile and Okota to have an experience of a formal shopping mall.”
