As part of plans to support the take-off of startup businesses in the highbrow commercial areas of Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State, Resource Intermediaries Limited, a human resource management company, has opened a business solution hub called theBUNKer in the city.
According to the Chairman, RIL, Dr Ebun Bamgboye, the idea was conceived to address the problem of rising demands for entrepreneurs, learners and researchers to fulfill their career obligations using a standard office platform in a commercially sophisticated setting without outright sourcing of office complex from firms.
This, he said, would help in addressing the quest for office space in a competitive business hub.
“In recent years, there has been a significant shift in the nature of how we work and interact with open and more relaxed work spaces emerging. That trend has accelerated in the last 12 months as businesses are increasingly open to flexible work options for their staff.
“This disruption of work and the unavailability of large funds to rent an office in a commercial area has led to the increasing demand for c-work spaces by startup entrepreneurs, freelancers and remote employees. This supply gap of affordable functional workspaces is heightened by the absence of sufficient libraries and a serene atmosphere for study and research in strategic locations all over the country but more so in commercial city centers.
“theBunker, a business solution hub was conceived out of the rising demands to satisfy entrepreneurs careerpreneurs, freelancers, professionals and students in their basic demands
“Facilities provided include convenient workspaces, fully serviced private offices, training rooms, meeting rooms, virtual office plans, in-house cafe, nap room and others” he said.
The Chief Executive Officer of RIL, Olusoji Oyawoye, said theBUNKer in Ibadan is the fourth of the branches of the company.
