On the 16th of January 2017, the Andela Nigeria corporate office moved headquarters from Yaba to a new 5-floor building along Ikorodu Road, dubbed the EPIC Tower.
The move reignited debates about the fate of the Yaba tech cluster. For Andela though, moving HQ out of Yaba was logical, considering the need to house their increasing number of developers conveniently.
Recently, we went to take a pictorial peep into what the new office looks like ahead of the launch. We learnt that the EPIC Tower is named after Andela's core values -- Excellence, Passion, Integrity, and Collaboration.
Before we get on with the tour, it is important to clarify that Andela still has one location in Yaba -- the Amity Campus -- which is different from the former corporate headquarters Mark Zuckerberg visited in 2016.
