Cocoa House, Skyscraper in Dugbe, Ibadan, Nigeria
The 105-meter-tall structure with 26 floors stands as a commercial center in the heart of Ibadan's business district.
Built with proceeds from agricultural exports, this building held the title of Nigeria's tallest structure from 1965 until 1979.
Originally named 'Ile Awon Agbe' meaning Farmers' House, the building represents the agricultural foundation of Western Nigeria's development.
The building contains modern office spaces, the Odua Museum and Hall of Fame, and serves as headquarters for broadcasting companies.
A cocoa tree planted near the entrance fountain led to renaming the structure from Farmers' House to Cocoa House.
