Provider of flexible office solutions, Regus, has launched a new state-of-the-art workspace in Murjanatu House, Abuja, signaling its continued commitment to supporting freelancers, startups, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and multinationals across Nigeria.
The new 1,200-square-meter location is Regus’ latest addition to its growing portfolio in the country and is expected to deliver between 50 to 60 private offices and approximately 140 desks.
According to the company, the space is designed to meet the diverse needs of Nigeria’s evolving workforce from solopreneurs and remote workers to large corporate teams.
Speaking at the launch, Regus Sales Director, Henry Onyeche, emphasised the brand’s customer-centric product offerings tailored for specific user segments.
“We have product-specific categories of customers. For freelancers, we offer flexible memberships that allow them to access any of our over 10,000 centers globally, across 123 countries. Whether you’re in the U.S., China, the UK, or South Africa, once you’re signed up, you can walk in and start working as internet and support staff included.”
He highlighted that these solutions are especially relevant in Nigeria’s real estate market, where rigid long-term lease demands can be prohibitive for small businesses.
“Our clients can book offices hourly, daily, monthly, or yearly without the burden of agent fees or multi-year commitments,” he added.
Country Manager for Regus Nigeria, Ayo Akinmade, noted that the Murjanatu House space was developed with quality and functionality in mind, allowing professionals to operate efficiently at competitive prices.
“This location has the potential to generate income for individuals and small businesses, while also contributing to the local economy through employment and tax remittance,” said Akinmade.
“We expect our clients to be VAT-registered, employ staff, and engage in civic responsibilities.”
Akinmade, who lived and worked in the UK, said his experience using Regus abroad inspired him to bring the concept to Nigeria.
“There was nothing like this here when I returned, so I reached out to Regus and pitched the opportunity. We started in Lagos, moved to Port Harcourt, and then Abuja now we’re growing continuously,” he recounted.
Regus also caters to hybrid work demands, which surged post-COVID. Clients can now request shared or private spaces for as little as one day a month or on a rolling basis.
The firm’s commitment to security is equally robust, prospective tenants undergo a thorough vetting process including identity verification, company documentation, and professional references.
“We are extremely cautious about who we allow into our spaces. We don’t want any situation where the authorities trace fraudulent activity back to our facilities. That’s why we do deep background checks.”
Regus Partner and CEO of VCN Spaces Maitama Limited, Valentine Nwandu, stressed the strategic significance of the new Abuja location.
“You can’t get a better location than this, from Transcorp to INEC, NEPA, and the Federal High Court, we are in the heart of the city,” Nwandu said.
“It’s accessible, secure, and surrounded by premium institutions. That benefits both employers and employees.”
He expressed gratitude to the team and stakeholders who helped realise the project.
“Let this new space inspire us to push boundaries, achieve our goals, and continue our journey of success together.”
The new Murjanatu House site is one of several expansions planned across Nigeria, with new hubs expected later this year in Garki Area 2 and other major cities.
Regus currently operates multiple centers in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja, offering co-working areas, private offices, meeting rooms, and virtual office services.
