IFC, part of the World Bank Group, said its support for the $120 million Jabi Lake mall project in Abuja aims to support demand for modern business infrastructure and retail space.

The mall, which will be Nigerias largest, is being built on five hectares of land and will serve as a catalyst for urban development in the surrounding area, IFC said. IFCs investment in the mall, which will have more than 30,000 square metres of retail space, is $9.5m.

IFC said the mall will be the largest retail development of international standard in Abuja and create links to the local economy throughout its construction and operation. Jabi Lake will create new sales channels for Nigerian retailers, including local small and medium enterprises, IFC said.

Construction began on the project in late 2013 and is expected to be completed in 2015. The projects primary sponsor is the Actis Africa Real Estate Fund 2 (AR2). Duval Properties is the joint venture partner with Actis, a private equity firm that invests in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

IFCs country manager for Nigeria, Solomon Adegbie-Quaynor said: Our investment is part of IFCs strategy to help strengthen business infrastructure, contribute to economic growth, and increase job opportunities in Nigeria.

AR2 director Amanda Jean Baptiste said: Investing in the Jabi Lake mall demonstrates Actis commitment to developing world-class retail destinations and adding to the domestic infrastructure in Nigeria, as well as our support for the growing demands of a rapidly changing economy. Our partnership with IFC will help us draw on their expertise in international best practice in the environmental and social aspects of the project that affect property development.

In October 2012 Actis confirmed the final close of AR2, its second African real estate fund, with total commitments of $278m. The fund is focused on retail and office developments in East, West and Southern Africa, excluding South Africa. Projects have included what Actis said is Ghanas first green office building, One Airport Square in Accra, and East Africas largest retail centre, Garden City in Nairobi.

Actis invests exclusively in emerging markets. The company said earlier this month that it currently has $6.5bn funds under management.

IFC is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector. IFC said its funding for infrastructure projects alone in Africa has reached $1.5 billion, with its InfraVentures division joining private sector partners to develop wind power projects in Tanzania and Kenya. In West Africa, IFC has invested in aviation companies and mobilised funding for the port of Lom to expand the transportation network and improve trade infrastructure in the region.

Through InfraVentures, the World Bank Group has set aside a $150m fund from which IFC can draw to initiate project development in the infrastructure sector. IFC serves as a co-developer and provides expertise while partially funding project development.

An Appleton roofing company owner has been charged in Dane and two other counties with theft after allegedly failing to complete paid-for repairs to hail-damaged roofs in 2011.

Daniel Steiner, owner of Midwest Roofing, is charged with felony theft by contractor in Dane, Brown and Outagamie counties. Steiner acknowledged in a 2013 interview with police that his company was bankrupt, and that he would take money from one job to pay for jobs already underway, and that he didnt pay his roofing supplier. The result for homeowners in Madison, Middleton, Grand Chute and Green Bay was constant delayed or incomplete repairs.

According to a criminal complaint, one victim said she was given excuses from Steiner for delays to fixing a storm-damaged roof that included he had brain surgery, thought the job was already completed, had to fire his cousin and the materials were already ordered, the materials were paid for but didnt show up.

That was after she had already paid $11,401 half the bill up front. In the end, she had to pay another contractor to finish the job and did not get her money returned.

Working with leads from the Wisconsin Better Business Bureau, state Department of Justice investigator Camellia Howe reported that Madison residents Corey and Heather Stelljes signed a contract in September 2011 with Steiner for a hail-damage repair project, for payments of $4,400 and $7,814. After installing half of the insulation and removing the aluminum siding from the Stelljeses home, which he recycled, Steiner did not come back and did not return their calls.

ABC Supply placed a $7,014 lien on the home because Steiner didnt pay for the materials, and another company had to complete the job, costing the Stelljeses an additional $5,000, according to the complaint.

Other complaints repeat that scenario, including the lien from ABC Supply. The BBB reports receiving 10 complaints about Midwest Roofing. Lisa Schiller of the BBB said its report on Steiner said he has also operated contracting services under the business names of Elite Exteriors, Integrity Roofing, Midwest Flooring, Precision Roofing and Siding and Steiner Custom Construction.

She said the BBB recommends getting at least three bids on construction projects.

An arrest warrant was issued for Steiner. The bankrupt roofing company had an address in Appleton and in Fond du Lac.
