Lekki, Coastal city near Lagos, Nigeria

Lekki is a city on a peninsula situated between Lagos Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, where residential neighborhoods and business areas mix together. The settlement stretches across the landmass with distinct zones designed for living and commerce.

The area was once a densely populated residential neighborhood called Maroko before being transformed in 1990. From this change arose a planned urban layout with organized residential quarters and business districts as it stands today.

The area has become a hub for contemporary Nigerian artists who display their work in galleries and street markets. Local creative communities continue to shape the character of neighborhoods throughout the district.

The city is accessible by bus and private car services from central areas. Visitors should allow time for travel, as destinations are spread across significant distances.

A major petroleum processing facility operates nearby and plays a significant role in the region's economy. This industrial presence shapes modern development patterns throughout the area.
