The soul of Lagos State, Ikeja, with a population of over 300,000, balances residential tranquillity and bustling commercialism flawlessly. Situated only 17 km northwest of Lagos, it's the hub of air travel, with several airlines such as Arik Air, Aero Contractors and Dana Air headquartering here. Rooted in the rich heritage of the Awori people, it was christened after one of their deities. Since its industrial boom in the mid-60s and its designation as the state capital in 1976, Ikeja has evolved into a vibrant city full of life.

A tour through this city acquaints you with local favourites like Femi Kuti's Africa Shrine, Lagbaja's Motherland, the spacious Ikeja City Mall, and Oba Momodu Illo market. All these alongside the sprawling Otigba computer market, a haven for tech enthusiasts, despite its challenges with traffic congestion and unpredictable power supply. Ikeja remains a perfect blend of residential, commercial, and industrial sites with something to offer everyone: from historical relics to modern sites.

When to visit Ikeja

If you want to soak up the best of Ikeja's weather, pay a visit during the warmth of March, April, or February, when mid-March heat peaks at 34.1°C. Significant rain is least likely in January, December, and February, ensuring your exploration isn't dampened. However, if the buzz of tourists doesn't put you off, then October, closely followed by July and August, registers as the busiest months.

For those seeking quieter times and lower costs, the winter months of December to February offer a less crowded and cost-effective getaway. Regardless of the season, Ikeja's welcoming embrace shines through all year round, promising a memorable journey.
