Captain Bower’s Tower, Oke-Are, Ibadan, Oyo State
Investors and partners are also sought for the Ironsi-Fajuyi Memorial Park and Gardens, Lalupon, where Nigeria’s former Military Head of State General Aguiyi Ironsi was killed in the company of his host and former Governor of Western Nigeria, Lieutenant Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi on July 15, 1966.
The site spots the bullet ridden and bloodied tree that reminds us of Nigeria’s first Military coup. The vision of the Oyo State Government is to develop the acquired two plots of land into a National Historic monument with statues of Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi and Lt Colonel Fajuyi. The project includes well-groomed garden sitting area; restaurant /bar; games area; administrative office; cinema/video room (50 seater).
