One Day at Soyinka’s Ijegba Forest

Visiting Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka’s Ijegba Forest offers a blend of literature, history, and nature. The space preserves cultural memory through sculptures, installations, and storytelling that reflect Soyinka’s lifelong themes of freedom and justice. Guests walk through shaded trails, performance stages, and a library that celebrates Nigerian creativity. The forest has become a cultural landmark, hosting festivals, student tours, and international visitors. It serves as both a retreat and a reminder of the power of art in shaping public consciousness and resistance.
