The metropolitan centre that was created on May 27,1967 had always looked stylish as it did now. LAGOS’ love for gigantic and captivating buildings has since been established. Various buildings such as Tinubu square, federal Palace Hotel, old cathedral church .e.t.c. still wow residents and tourists though they were erected years ago.
