No guys. This should be a photo of the new Library construction site which is near the Mosque. The Cultural Centre building is on the plot near to the Catholic Church.

What Library

I thought there no longer any plans to build a Library.

Is this a different project entirely then?

mmmm honestly I do not know if there will still be a library or not but for sure this project has nothing to do with the Nigeria Cultural Complex (Cultural Centre + Millennium Tower).

I think you are right because there is no other on-going construction within that perimeter.

Compare it with this one

No, I have had a look on Google Maps. I was wrong.

I thought the library on the other hand was part of the cultural center project.

No, the library is NOT part of the cultural centre. It is a 10-floor project across the highway.

Can somebody create a thread for the library? It looks like something worth discussing about.

???? I thought the building closest to the mosque was the municipal building/ City Hall as said by the architect. Then in the middle you'll have the national square(like eagle square) and the tower. and closest to the church, you'll have the cultural centre. and they are all part of the same project ????

Still long way to go. No observation deck and the facades need to be competed.
