Surulere, Local government area in Lagos, Nigeria
Surulere encompasses 23 square kilometers on the Lagos mainland, containing residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and multiple sports facilities across its territory.
The area experienced substantial growth during Lagos's western expansion, with African Brazilian and Cuban families settling in neighborhoods like Aguda during the nineteenth century.
The National Arts Theatre in Surulere hosted the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture in 1977, gathering artists from across the continent.
The district connects to other parts of Lagos through the Ojuelegba transport hub, offering regular bus and taxi services throughout the metropolitan area.
Surulere houses two major sports complexes: the Lagos National Stadium from 1972 and Teslim Balogun Stadium, making it Nigeria's primary location for athletic events.
