    Kolawole M. Oreoluwa
    Abdul-Ganiyu "Gani" Oyesola Fawehinmi, was a well respected Nigerian author, publisher, philanthropist,  social critic, seasoned human and civil rights lawyer, politician and Senior Advocate of Nigeria. In 2010, a park in Ojota was named after him by the Lagos state government. This park is historical and a good place to take pictures

    Koya Dapo
    This is a symbolic park named after the iconic legend, Chief Gani Fawehinmi. A lawyer per excellence and an advocate for the common man. Today, the park service is a melting pot for all struggles emanating in the mega city (Lagos).

    Tunde Hassan
    This Park was dedicated to the memories of a great man, a lawyer, a human right advocate and a freedom fighter. The location of the park readily attest the fact. The Ojota axis of Lagos highly populated by the downtrodden, with just a few average people. Gani stood for such people and his statue stood tall In this park.

    Pwana Dooshima Duku
    A regular park and done up nicely in memory of the civil right activist, Gani Fawehinmi who lived, worked all his life in Lagos and had one of the foremost law firms in Nigeria. He was known for his fiery speeches against the government which often gained him incarceration. The park has a gigantic statue of the late activist, beautiful and serene display of flowers, lights ans seats. However, the park is gated to keep out miscreants. The park often plays host to civil actions against government policy and inaction. It is a popular location in Ojota area of Lagos State
  • O
    OLUWATOYOSI ABIKOYE
    This place has an eormous statute of the Late Gani Fawehinmi. The park environment is not bad with an average facility. The traffic situation is unpredictable, so one has to plan movement along Ojota-via-Motorways axis very well before setting out to use the Park.
  • P
    Peter Amanze
    Very clean and safe park to chill with family and friends
  • S
    Sanya Oluwadare
    This place is dedicated to the memory of Gani Fawehinmi who spent a major part of his life defending rights of the downtrodden in Nigeria society. It is often used to stage peaceful mass protests and during which heavy vehicular and human traffic are experienced.
