Chief Awolowo was a Nigerian nationalist and statesman who played a key role in Nigeria’s independence movement.
In 2017, the statue was moved to the present location by the immediate past governor of Lagos State; Mr Akinwunmi Ambode to acknowledge the contributions of the late sage whose deeds and ideas were instrumental in making the South-West region, a formidable political and intellectual force in Nigeria.
