Victoria Island (Nigeria)
*** Shopping-Tip: Victoria Island (Nigeria)
'''Victoria Island''' is the main
business and
finance financial centre of
Lagos,
Nigeria. It was originally a residential area, but businesses have been moving in steadily over the last twenty years. Today, Victoria Island is one of Nigeria's busiest centres of banking and commerce.
Victoria is one of the most exclusive and expensive areas to live in Lagos. It has been expanding rapidly over the last two decades and now stretches to the
Lekki Peninsula area. The island has a large number of shops, bars, restaurants, night clubs and other leisure spots. Victoria Island, along with
Ikoyi, is a favourite spot for
expatriates to live and play.
The influx of banks and other commercial ventures have lead to a few problems. Over the years, residents complained about the increase in traffic and influx of street traders who cater to local bank employees and businessmen.
