World’s largest platform for work with brands, International Workplace Group, IWG, is opening three state-of-the-art flexible work spaces in Nigeria in February and April. With the long-term shift to more flexible ways of working, IWG is expanding its network to keep pace with rising demand across the country.
The addition of IWG’s latest locations in Nigeria come on the heels of the business posting its highest-ever revenue, cash flow and earnings growth in its history and achieving rapid network growth, with more new locations signed and opened in the first half of 2025 than in the entire first decade of its operations. IWG’s network now comprises more than one million rooms in 121 countries.
The new centres opening in February and April 2026 include:Regus Logitech Integrated Ltd, Abuja, Jabi. 908.00 SQM (Opening February 01, 2026); Regus Lubrik Construction Company Limited, Port Harcourt, PH Tower. 1394.00 SQM (Opening February 28, 2026); HQ Alternative Bank Limited, Kano, Zoo Road. 390.00 SQM (Opening April 01, 2026).
The building owners decided to invest in the IWG platform to maximise the return on their real estate space by capitalising on the rapidly expanding demand for hybrid working.
Research by leading academics has found that greater flexibility over how and where employees work offers a multitude of benefits for workers, including enhanced work-life balance, financial savings and health benefits. Employers also reap the rewards of hybrid models through increased firm productivity, cost savings and a more efficient, engaged workforce. In fact, recent research by IWG and workplace consultancy Arup found that hybrid working can boost productivity by 11%. Facilitated by flexible work spaces, hybrid working could add up to $566 billion in GVA to the US economy annually by 2045 – the equivalent GVA of Austin, Texas.
With explosive market growth as companies of all sizes adopt more flexible and decentralised models for the long-term, it is predicted that 30% of all commercial real estate will be flexible workspace by 2030. With International Workplace Group, partners are able to capitalise on this fast-growing sector while being supported by International Workplace Group’s unparalleled experience.
Mark Dixon, CEO & Founder of IWG PLC, stated: “These newest facilities represent a vital expansion of our operational base within Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano. Given its status as a dynamic commercial hub, Nigeria provides an excellent platform to advance our development goals. We are delighted to be partnering to grow our brand through a management agreement model, delivering innovative workspace environments within our partners’ premises.
“Our expansion across Nigeria comes at a time when businesses are increasingly accelerating their performance and productivity through platform and hybrid working models, which enables companies to scale operations with remarkable cost efficiencies and offers seamless access to a global portfolio of sites.”
