Workation in Ibadan: the essentials
By land area no Nigerian city is larger than Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, whose metropolitan area holds about 4.3 million people across 3,080 square km. In the 19th century it led the Ibadan Republic, one of the strongest states in Yorubaland, and at independence in 1960 it was the largest city in the country. The University of Ibadan, founded in 1948, is Nigeria's oldest, and Cocoa House recalls the money the cocoa trade brought. Lagos lies about 120 km to the south-west, linked by standard-gauge rail, and Ibadan Airport is about 8 km out. Expect sprawl and heavy traffic, with very little aimed at foreign visitors.
