It has become evident that Africa is not insulated from the effects of the global financial crisis and there has been much speculation on the true state of Nigeria’s banking sector.

We also speak to one of the directors of Persianas Properties Limited, developers of The Palms, the well-known shopping mall in Lagos, about their expansion plans and the future of modern shopping centres in Nigeria.
