Tinubu Square, Heritage square in Lagos Island, Nigeria.
The 2000-square-meter open space features two water fountains, tropical trees, flowers, and an iron fence enclosure in central Lagos Island.
Originally named Ita Tinubu, the square housed the first Court of Assizes in 1918 before becoming Independence Square after Nigeria gained sovereignty.
The central cenotaph displays a life-size statue of Madam Efunroye Tinubu, commemorating the Yoruba merchant who influenced Lagos trade relations.
The square stands near the National Museum and National Art Theatre, making it convenient for visitors exploring Lagos Island attractions.
Bronze sculptures by Kenny Adamson depict a man reading and the 1970s street performer Kokoro, the blind drummer of Lagos Island.
