The Oloja of Lagos-elect, Prince Abiola Olojo – Kosoko, on Sunday, June 25, 2023, hosted scholars that attended a 4 – day conference of the Lagos Studies Association (LSA), in Lagos.

Scholars and researchers from various fields of studies visited the palace built for King Kosoko, then as Oloja of Lagos, over 150 years, as part of the group’s Lagos Monument Tour.

The royal family, led by Prince Kosoko, received the scholars and conducted them round the monuments.

The visit was an eye – opener for the visitors on many issues as the custodian of the King Kosoko palace shared the family’s perspective on wide range of issues with them, particularly the development of tradition, culture, politics and commerce of Lagos.

The visit was powered by the TravelNextDoor.
