Situated on Mohammadu Buhari Road in Chelsea Hotel in Abuja, this new location is part of a drive by International Workplace Groupto meet the sharply rising demand for top class flexible working space in the area.

The new Regus location will include facilities including private offices, meeting rooms, co-working and creative spaces.
