When many people hear Agege, a suburb that is located in Ikeja, their minds usually go to the local bread that is produced there. It is not only the famous Agege bread that this place is known for though. There are other things that have made Agege quite a popular place and we have listed them below:

NYSC Orientation Camp

The National Youth Service Corps Permanent Orientation Camp is located at Iyana-Ipaja Road in Agege. Each time new batch of NYSC corps are taken in, Agege gets agog with lots of activities, especially for the cabs and traders.

The Aluminum Village

The Aluminum Village attracts hundreds of construction workers and home owners. Some of the finest and affordable aluminium products in the country will be found here. You can find this industrialized village along the Abeokuta Express road.

The Local Food Joints

Most of the people living in this part of Lagos are not exactly sitting on wealth, with many in or below the middle income earner belt. Naturally, eating out at a fancy and expensive restaurant is not something that will be like a chore around here. The local food joints located around come to the rescue in this regard with the delicious and affordable meals they offer.

The Agege bread

This bread has attained legendary fame over the years. Its acclaim is such that it is very readily talked about in places far beyond the shores of Lagos, even by people who have never seen or tasted it. Even though some persons may smirk at the bread in comparison to other recent brands, the number tell the true story – Agege bread is well loved. 

Affordable Accommodation
