The Awolowo Museum in Lekki

It is located in the beach town of Lekki about 40 minutes drive from V.I. This place is in the heart of Lekki Town off the turning by the Lekki LCDA.

The tour around the museum begins with a brief history of the Lekki town itself- a misnomer of the name of the Portuguese slave merchant, Mr Lecqi, who settled in the town.

Mr lecqi is said to be buried upright in the ground at a point within vicinity of the museum, where a stone work marks the grave, but without his skull which has since been taken back to Portugal by his son.

The Original house which was the detention centre for Awolowo in 1962 is also said to be Mr Lecqi’s home in the 18th Century.
You get to see clothes, shoes, glasses and caps worn by the late sage.

Lacampagne Tropicana Beach Resort is a 65 acre tranquil paradise located just an hour’s drive from Victoria Island in Lagos State.

This resort offers a unique blend of natural environments which include a fresh water lake, accessible mangrove forest, a savannah, extensive sandy beach and the warm Atlantic sea.

The resort provides world class accommodation and a variety of activities to ensure an experience like no other on your visit. The staffs are professional and friendly, and the cuisine is second to none with 24hrs security.

Care has always been taken to ensure that the Infrastructure at the resort blends in perfectly with the surroundings so that the spectacular ambence of the tropical countryside is not lost

Located within 2 minutes drive to a 27 – hole golf course currently under construction.

Awaiting you there are Spa treatments, message therapy,fully equipped cardiovascular gym with personal trainers. Cultural dance displays for guests / residents, fresh palm wine Bar within excellent ocean view, fine dinning in elegant restaurants etc.
Other activities include hiking, hunting, horse riding, canoeing, ocean water fishing, aqua aerobics, beach volleyball & football etc.

Now to the Lagos Mainland

My focus here will be brief and straight to the point. Let us consider places with some form of activity.
If you wish t devote some time to arts and theatre visit the National Theatre. Though not as good as before, the national theatre always hosts a number of stage plays etc.
You can also visit the museum of national history within the Theatre.
