Standing proudly in the heart of Eko Atlantic City, the monumental ORCA Showroom is more than a landmark of retail excellence — it stands as a testament to visionary leadership, economic ambition, and confidence in Africa’s future.

At its core are the foresight and determination of Ambassador Gilbert Chagoury and Ronald Chagoury (Chagoury Group), Moufid Karameh (Mikano Group), whose decades-long dedication to Nigeria’s progress continues to shape the nation’s urban and economic landscape; and Jamal Kawar, Founder of Orca Africa, who has successfully expanded Orca Deco across more than 22 African countries.

Orca Mall officially opened its doors on Wednesday, 26th November.

Spanning four floors and more than 50,000 square metres, with over 100,000 products, ORCA is Africa’s largest and most advanced home and lifestyle showroom under one roof.

With over 500 jobs created, ORCA is not only a testament to the power of innovative design but also a significant contributor to the social and economic fabric of Lagos and Eko Atlantic City.

At ORCA, the concept of “home” transcends mere physical space; it’s about creating a feeling of comfort, identity, and belonging that every individual deserves. The products are carefully curated to cater to diverse lifestyles and tastes, ORCA offers shopping experience that redefines the boundaries of retail. From home and living essentials to cutting-edge home technology, ORCA’s vast portfolio is a one-stop destination for anyone seeking to elevate their living spaces.

Several dignitaries graced the exclusive launch of ORCA including Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State; Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor; Babatunde Raji Fashola, Former Governor; and Aisha Rimi, the CEO of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, alongside many distinguished guests.

From inspiring speeches to the ceremonial ribbon-cutting and guided tours through our premium showroom, the opening marked the beginning of a bold new chapter for retail, design, and innovation in Lagos.

ITB Construction and the Eko Atlantic City development team, whose world-class craftsmanship, vision, and execution played a defining role in bringing this milestone project to life.

David Frame, managing director, Eko Atlantic Management Limited who also spoke during the launch said
Orca Mall joins a growing list of completed projects that signal to local and international investors that Eko Atlantic is not for the distant future, but a functioning, expanding and vibrant city now with each completed building, each new business, and each investment that takes root here strengthens its position as one of the country’s most dynamic growth corridors.

“Orca Mall is now complete today, we can appreciate what it represents. It is not just a building; it’s Africa’s biggest showroom and a practical contribution to the ongoing development of Eko Atlantic,” Frame said.

He acknowledge the work carried out by ITB Nigeria Limited, stressing that their professionalism, attention to detail, and delivery capacity are evident in every part of the building.

“Completing a project of this scale requires coordination, discipline, and consistency and ITB has shown all of these throughout the process” Frame said.

According to him, Eko Atlantic stands as one of the most technically advanced city developments in Africa built with modern infrastructure designed for efficiency, reliability, and long-term sustainability.

Aisha Rimi, CEO Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, (NIPC) said ORCA’s opening in Eko Atlantic adds a major chapter to that story and firmly places Nigeria at the centre of ORCA’s continental footprint.

According to Rimi, the investment is a clear vote of confidence in the country and the opportunities it presents.

“It reflects trust in an economy that represents one of the continent’s largest, most aspirational and upwardly mobile consumer markets, and it aligns with the positive economic reforms being implemented by this Administration,” she said.

She explained that combining a showroom of this size with smart logistics, digital catalogues and online channels means an ecosystem is being built that serves today’s customer in ways that create a modern, seamless experience that e-commerce can only complement but not replace.

Babajide Sonwo Olu, Governor Lagos State, who was also at the launch of the showroom said they are not just handing over a building but showcasing a symbol of what trust is in a Nigerian economy.

“We’re showing that there’s a big testament when we collaborate, when we all have bold ideas and bold declarations of the future. We’re also re-emphasizing that we believe in the space and in the economy,” Sonwo Olu said.

He acknowledged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who has created the needed enabling environment for businesses to thrive and for the private sector to make that investment.

Sonwo Olu who described the showroom as ‘world class’ edifice, commended ORCA Group for their vision, resilience, and confidence in the Lagos story.

“We believe it will strengthen the economy, it will help to also enrich the life of our people. This establishment, for us, is a good of confidence, it reflects on the policies, it strengthens our commitment as a government, and it helps us to deepen the small interventions that we’re doing in infrastructure, security, in real or big things,” he said.

Abbas Haidar, Projects Director, ITB Nigeria FZE said while this project presented its share of challenges, it was approached with effective solutions, upholding the client’s vision to deliver Africa’s largest showroom built to outstanding standards of quality and safety.

“We trust that this achievement will bring lasting benefits to the Lagosian community,” Haidar added.

He thanked everyone who contributed to the success of the project.
