Yes, you read right. Rocket Internet is moving to Yaba.
If you still don't believe that Yaba is the ordained tech-opolis in Lagos, well, you're on a long thing. Call it whatever you want, Yabacon Valley or Yabatech, is the place for internet companies based in Lagos, and Africa Internet Holdings (AIH) moving here is proof of that!

The new complex is right beside the popular E-centre [Ozone, to many]. Rocket Internet has not made an official announcement yet, probably because the external construction of the building isn't complete, but the internal is complete and beautiful; and we have proof.

What do you think about Rocket Internet's move to Yaba? And, how cool is their new workspace?
The pictures were taken with a mobile phone and we'd bring proper pictures once the building is ready.
