Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Private presidential library in Abeokuta, Nigeria
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library is a private collection in Abeokuta that brings together books, historical documents, and objects related to Nigeria's heritage. The grounds contain various buildings and facilities arranged around a central library complex.
The collection was started in the late 1990s and formally opened two decades later. It grew from documenting administrative experiences and became the first such project on the African continent.
The name honors a former Nigerian president, and the place documents phases of the country's political development. The collections reflect like an archive how government and society changed across several generations.
The grounds are large and offer various areas to explore, including dining and lodging options. Visitors should plan enough time to see the different sections and come when weather is favorable, as outdoor areas are more accessible then.
The site uses natural formations like a granite plateau atop the hill that serves as a helipad. A dammed stream supplies water to the place and generates electricity for the buildings.
