INTERESTING FACTS

Interesting Facts

Interesting Facts in Igbo Efon

Have you ever pondered the origins of the name Igbo-Efon and what it means in English?  Igbo-efon means "Forest of Buffaloes" in the local language. A hunter from back when the whole place was covered in thick forest and teeming with buffaloes came up with the name. In times past, before the advent of civilisation, the woods were a hunter's paradise.

It is also important to remember that despite Igbo Efon's island location, it is a densely populated area dominated by low- and middle-income earners. People who cannot afford to live in the most affluent parts of Lekki will find this area to be ideal.

Some of the most stylish and comfortable workplaces in Lagos can be found in the Igbo Efon neighbourhood. It is the only route to the world-famous Alpha Beach, and it connects to both New Road and Chevron Drive.

Corporate workers from nearby companies and locals involved in commercial activities give the area a lively and bubbly atmosphere.
