Prime City LLC - Management

For over a hundred and fifty years the family of the founder of Prime City, Sam Shitta-Bey, has been active in the business, political, and religious communities of the State of Lagos. Growing up in Lagos and subsequently having the opportunity to live in both the United Kingdom and the United States, Sam has continued the family tradition with direct involvement in the business community of Lagos. He also has developed a passion to see Nigerians enjoy the benefits of modern living that others experience around the world. Sam led an indigenous effort to establish direct flights between the United States and Lagos. His efforts were instrumental in opening up new air transportation routes with direct flights between key cities in the US and Lagos through major carriers such as Delta Airlines. The results helped lower the cost and the time it now takes to travel between these nations.

The following provides brief descriptions of the managment team assembled to date, with others who are already involved and will be added soon:
