YMMY and Tarek Bin Laden hope to break into Niamey real estate sector

摘要

Far from the posturing of Mohammed VI's African tours with their forgotten-as-soonas- signed contracts, YMMY Finance Holding is very quietly trying to clinch a contract in Niamey, its first in sub-Saharan Africa. We understand that the Moroccan conglomerate, chaired by Ahmed Lotfi, is trying to persuade authorities in Niger to allow him to build a new mixed district on 105 hectares in the capital in a publicprivate partnership. "Niamey Smart City - River Marina" would take shape along the banks of the Niger River, a stone's throw from Mahamadou Issoufou's presidential palace.
