Sir Lugard Empire Hill, Historical hill and radio station site in Niger State, Nigeria.
Sir Lugard Empire Hill is an elevated location in Niger State with remnants of colonial-era buildings scattered across its summit. From the top, visitors can see the landscape and the river valley stretching below.
In 1911, Sir Frederick Lugard established his first administrative center on this hill as part of British colonial rule. The location became a key point for managing and communicating with the territory under British control.
The hill served as a hub for British administration, with different zones for staff quarters, military posts, and burial grounds that reflect how colonial officials lived and worked here.
The hill is accessible on foot, though the climb requires some effort due to the elevation gain. Wearing sturdy shoes and bringing water are helpful for a comfortable visit.
A radio facility was built on the summit to allow Lugard to communicate directly with London. This installation was technologically advanced for its time and became central to colonial operations.
