Kinshasa International Fair (Fikin): cessation of rehabilitation works, this is reported by a recent survey conducted by NouveauMedia.cd. The causes of this stop would be disputes between the Turkish company Milvet and the management committee of Fikin. Indeed, the Turkish subcontractor would have gone well beyond the requests agreed with Fikin officials. It requires an area of six hectares which extends from the Plazza space to the Fikin esplanade to build it and enjoy it for a period of ten years. Fikin officials interviewed say they would be willing to pay US$60,000 a month for the rental of the six hectares that house their headquarters.
However, work had already begun, including the backfilling of the site and the eviction of the occupants of the premises. The project included an exhibition center, an amusement park, a shopping center, a conference center, a shopping center, a hotel, and a multifunctional arena of more than 20,000 seats that will include an exhibition center of nearly of 21,000 square meters.
