This national monument is a treasure and once it stood magnificent with stunning works by old masters. However the maintenance has left it in a poor state. Art works that are national treasures, are left to dust and decay. More needs to be done to completely reconstruct and preserve this building and the works within it.

The National Theatre is one of the tourist attractions in Lagos. It is a cultural landmark and architectural masterpiece which has stood the test of time. The National Theatre was constructed in 1976 by former Head of States General Yakubu Gowon. But the final completion of the current edifice standing today was done during the regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo. The National Theatre houses ancient art and also invites modern works by new artists. The interior and exterior design of the theatre is very fascinating. The theatre is located at Iganmu Road, Lagos, Nigeria

The National Arts Theatre, Iganmu Lagos was commissioned in 1977 during the FESTAC (Festival of Arts and Culture). The edifice is a beautiful and quite conspicuous one that hosted virtually all the activities of that festival, which was a celebration of African arts, culture and tradition with most countries in Africa and blacks in diaspora in attendance.

National theatre is a monumental tourist site to visit while in Lagos, there are various attractions there to see like a theatre and a museum. You can also have a picnic there with friends and family. You can also view the current rail project going from the national theatre. I just wish the government will do more the restore the national theatre to the original purpose it was meant for and manage the place better.

National theater is a great place to hold an event, great view with lots of parking lots. Its environment is calm with great views. I believe thou that is loosing its touch by the day. The toilet and some halls are not properly managed so it is falling apart. The chair in the hall we used many were in bad shade.

Constructed in 1976, it is the cultural center for performing arts in Nigeria. The well-equipped hall has the capacity to hold 3000 people. It hosted the Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC) in 1977. The building has a bar, a restaurant, and 2 grand cinema halls. The great cultural performances coupled with the theatre’s architectural grandeur have pulled the attention of people from various walks of life.

This is a beautiful environment, located behind Covenant Christian Centre at Iganmu, with the expanse of land in the region of 6 hecters of land... The environment is colorful, neatly trimmed and adequately secured. The environment can be use for events and meetings. The theatre is superb and worth visiting all the time. Also this place is historical and with as low as 500 Naira you can be given a tour guide and see lot of artifacts from most cultures in Nigeria.

Visiting Lagos? Be sure to visit The famous National theatre, our national treasure. A beautiful architecture housing cinema halls, artists, dance troupes and so much more. I eish National theatre can be utilised for its original plans to attract much more arts and entertainment activities. Despite it shortcomings and it is s beautiful place to visit always.
D

Dienye Peterside

A well built theatre, with adequate facilities, but run down. Can be easily modernized to provide various services and facilities, that would generate regular income if well managed. Location is a bit of a challenge because of Lagos traffic and can be dangerous because of pick pockets and miscreants. Neighbourhood should be better managed and secured for the place to thrive.
