03 — What sells here

Stone that suits Nigeria

Nigeria is the largest marble market in West Africa. Lagos dealers stock Italian, Turkish, Spanish, Indian and Chinese marble and granite for the towers of Eko Atlantic, Ikoyi and Banana Island and for the hotels going up in Lagos and Abuja. Egyptian beige marble gives a distributor the look of Spanish and Turkish beige from a different source, and Egyptian granite covers floors, stairs, kitchen tops and outdoor work.
