January 30, (THEWILL) – Edo State-born entrepreneur, Caleb Ken Olumese, otherwise known as ‘The Guvnor,’ has put up his once famous night club, Nite shift Coliseum, for sale. At the peak of its operations, the upscale nightclub was the toast of fun-seekers in Lagos. It was a place where billionaires and top political elites converged to seal deals and make important political and business decisions. The Coliseum had an ambience that appealed to all within and outside Lagos. With special performances from guest music artistes and the club’s entertainment group, guests always had something to look forward to.
Some dignitaries that the club has hosted in the past include, but not limited to former President Goodluck Jonathan, former Ogun State governor, Chief Segun Osoba, former Lagos State governor and APC chieftain, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the immediate past governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, a former Inspector General of Police, Mustafa Adebayo Balogun, governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu and others.
Unfortunately, the once bubbling nightclub became a shadow of itself after it was gutted by fire on two occasions. Although it bounced back after the ugly incidents, it ceased to function as a nightclub. Olumese converted it to an events centre and after some time, decided to put it up for sale.
With the advent of COVID-19 and with most social events and gatherings being either put on hold or functioning at half capacity, it became more difficult to maintain the place. It was gathered that Floating World, managers of a strip club based in Ikeja, has taken over the place and it is set to give it a face lift.
Many buyers had indicated interest in the property and approached ‘The Guvnor’ with juicy offers, but Floating World eventually won the bid to take over the place as the new owners.
