Ibadan is a city where nature, learning, and history come together to create memorable experiences. From peaceful natural surroundings to historic landmarks, the city offers plenty of opportunities for visitors to explore and discover something new.
Ajani recently organized a two-day tour that took guests to two notable destinations in Ibadan: the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and Cocoa House. The experience combined nature, agricultural discovery, and historical exploration, with transportation arranged to make the journey convenient.
Day One: Exploring the IITA Lake and Greenhouse
The tour began with a pickup at Moniya train station, where the guests were welcomed before proceeding to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA).
The first stop was the IITA lake, where the guests had the opportunity to enjoy the natural surroundings and take in the peaceful atmosphere. The visit offered a refreshing start to the tour, providing a break from the usual pace of city life.
From the lake, the group proceeded to the greenhouse, where they explored plants and crops in a controlled growing environment. The visit added an educational element to the experience, allowing guests to see another side of agriculture and appreciate the importance of plant cultivation.
The first day offered a combination of nature, learning, and exploration, setting the tone for the rest of the tour.
Day Two: Discovering the History of Cocoa House
On the second day, the guests visited Cocoa House, one of Ibadan’s most recognizable historical landmarks. Completed in 1965, Cocoa House is widely recognized as Nigeria’s first skyscraper. The building is closely associated with the country’s cocoa trade and remains an important symbol of Ibadan’s commercial history.
The visit gave the guests an opportunity to explore a landmark that has contributed to the city’s identity over the years. It also added a historical dimension to the tour, complementing the natural and educational experiences of the first day.
After the visit, the guests were transported back to the train station, marking the end of the two-day tour.
