Come to where the stories are quieter, deeper, and far beyond just leisure.
1. Obafemi Awolowo Mausoleum | Ikenne (Remo)
The final resting place of Chief Obafemi Awolowo aka ‘Awo’ (1909–1987) - lawyer, nationalist, statesman, and one of Nigeria’s foremost political leaders. Widely regarded as the architect of modern Western Nigeria, Awolowo championed landmark policies including free primary education, free healthcare for children, and rural development, leaving a lasting legacy in governance and education. The mausoleum preserves his memory and contributions to Nigeria’s political history.
2. Ebute Oni Beach | Ijebu Waterside (Ijebu)
The beach gets its name from the Ebute Oni village which is situated closeby. It runs along the Lagos Lagoon line and the community is known for its fishing heritage, boat transportation, and unspoiled coastal landscape. Some key activities for visitors include beach games, picnics, water sports. Its tranquil waterfront, traditional way of life, and natural scenery make it one of Ogun State’s emerging eco- and coastal tourism destinations.
3. Celestial City | Imeko (Yewa)
Situated in Imeko-Afon Local Government Area, Celestial City is the international headquarters of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC). Every year, it welcomes thousands of worshippers from Nigeria and around the world for religious gatherings and spiritual retreats. Beyond deep devotion, it is a destination for tourists to learn about the origin of the CCC and the Founder, Reverend Prophet Samuel Oshoffa.
4. This heritage site honours Madam Efunroye Tinubu (early 1800–1887), one of the most influential women in Yoruba history. A renowned merchant, political leader, philanthropist, and advocate, she played significant roles in commerce, diplomacy, and resistance during the 19th century. The shrine preserves her legacy and enduring impact on Abeokuta, Lagos, and Nigeria’s history.
