Transcorp Hotels Plc (THP) is planning to build a multi-purpose convention center, and 200-unit apartments within the 20-hectare facility in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. The company is also planning to build two new hotels in Lagos and Port Harcourt, at an estimated cost of US$240m as part of its business expansion agenda.
In detail, the proposed hotel in Lagos will be built at a cost of US$140m, while the new hotel project at Port Harcourt will lick up US$ 100m, with both due for completion in 2017.
This was made known by Transcorp Hotels Plc’s Managing Director and Chief executive Officer, Valentine Ozigbo. He said the company will fund the two hotels and the new convention center partly from money it will raise from the ongoing Initial Public Offer (IPO).

Ozigbo noted that Nigeria’s hospitality industry was experiencing demand for expanded capacity, improved service, and quality and that the industry was significantly growing. To leverage this demand, he indicated that the company would partner with Hilton Worldwide, one of the world’s most prestigious hotel brands. Hilton Worldwide had earlier announced that it would invest in eight hotels in various cities in Nigeria.
Transcorp Hotels Plc is the hospitality subsidiary of Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc (Transcorp Plc) and owns and operates the Transcorp Hilton Abuja and the Transcorp Hotels Calabar.
