Lekki is a highbrow city located in the south-eastern part of Lagos. You can find it right below the Lagos Lagoon and above the Atlantic Ocean. Now known as one of the most expensive places to live, Lekki was formerly a slum called Maroko. 

Back in the 90s, inhabitants of the former Maroko slum were suffering from extremely poor economic opportunities and slum-related diseases. They could not save themselves and continued to wallow in the unsafe environment. 

Colonel Raji Rasaki, the then military State Governor in Lagos intervened by using military forces to evict them so as to rebuild. While the fairness of the government’s actions has been contested, today, Lekki is both a highbrow residential and commercial area. 

Victoria Island and Ikoyi ajoin Lekki to the left and Epe can be found to its right. The residential project in the city is divided into Phases 1&2. Only Lekki Phase 1 is completed while Phase 2 is nearing completion. In between Phase 1 and 2, there are other privately developed residential estates and sub-LGAs.

Did you know Lekki was named after a Portuguese sailor named Mr. Lecqi? I bet you didn’t. 

Mr. Lecqi arrived in Lagos in the early 1800s. He was known for salt-making and slave trading. This made him so popular that the people of the town automatically called the place where he lived, “Lecqi’s place”. The name later evolved into being spelt as “Lekki.” 

Lekki is known for being one of the most expensive places to live in Lagos; however, it is still one of Nigeria's hottest property hubs.
