See How Tinubu Square Was Remodeled Over The Years (PHOTOS)
Tinubu Square is an open space landmark located in Broad Street, Lagos Island, Lagos State, Nigeria.
It is the epicenter of one of the key transport nodes of Lagos state. It interconnects many parts of Lagos state – Island and mainland.
Originally, it was named “Ita Tinubu” in memory of Madam Efunroye Tinubu, a prominent slave trader and businesswoman.
Later, during the First Republic, it was renamed “Independence Square”, and then later Tinubu Square.
The square was last remodeled in 2017 by the Lagos state government.
