NECOM House (formerly NITEL Tower and before that, the NET Building) is a skyscraper located in Lagos. The 32-story building was completed in 1979, and houses the headquarters of NITEL.[1] The communications spire at the top of the tower serves as a lighthouse beacon for Lagos Harbour. The building is constructed of concrete. The building was the tallest in West Africa at the time of completion.[1]
Fire
Necom House has suffered two fires since it was built; one in 1983[2] which caused considerable damage to the building, and the other in 2015[3] which affected the top of the building.
