Lagos Begins Construction of museum in honour of the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti

The Lagos State Government has begun the construction of a museum in honour of the late Afro beat king, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

The reconstruction of the shrine is part of government’s plan to immortalise Fela who contributed immensely to the development of music in the country.

Governor Babatunde Fashola disclosed this on Monday at the opening of the Nigerian-South African Week tagged “A Tale of Two African Cities” at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.

Fashola said as part of efforts to immortalise the late Afro beat musician, the state government had begun the reconstruction of the late icon’s “shrine” at Gbemisola Street, Ikeja, into an international museum.

The governor further said that the provision of infrastructure and basic services by the State government would boost tourism while empowering the people.
