Government House, Port Harcourt

The Rivers State Government House, also known as The Brick House or Governor's House, is the official residence and workplace of the Governor of Rivers State. Located in Old GRA, off Azikiwe Road in Port Harcourt, it has served as the governor's residence and office since its establishment in 1928. The name "Brick House" stems from its original structure, which was built using bricks. It serves as the venue for the Governor's official business, as well as the many high-level government conferences, receptions, and functions hosted by the occupant. Other events that take place at the Government House, include meetings such as that of the Executive Council, and the swearing-in of new cabinet members. The present occupant of the Brick House is the incumbent Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara. History The original Brick House, was constructed in 1928, and initially served as the residence for British colonial administrators. After the creation of Rivers State in 1967, it was repurposed as the Governor's office. In 1987, Military administrator and 5th Governor of Rivers State Anthony Ukpo, oversaw its renovation, which included the addition of a small chapel. The building was eventually retired as the Governor's office when a new Government House, also called the Brick House, was constructed within the same complex during the administration of the 13th Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Odili. The new Government House, developed as a landmark project by Julius Berger Plc, was executed in four phases. Phases I and II, comprising the Banquet Hall, Office Block, and the Governor's residential quarters, were completed and inaugurated by the 12th President of Nigeria, His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR on December 2, 2005. Initially budgeted at ₦4.2 billion, the total cost increased due to adjustments during construction and finishing. The foundation-laying ceremony for this ambitious project took place in May 2004. In recent years, the original Brick House underwent significant renovations and landscaping by the 16th Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Barr. Nyesom Wike. Its surroundings were enhanced with gardens, fountains, and lush lawns, cementing its position as an iconic feature of the Government House complex. References

Tafawa Balewa Square

The Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) is a 14.5-hectare (35.8-acre) ceremonial ground (originally called "Race Course") in Lagos Island, Lagos. History Lagos Race Course now TBS, was a sports field that hosted horse racing, but included a section for football and ground to play cricket. The land was provided to colonial authorities by Oba Dosunmu in 1859, who thereafter built up the surrounding areas. The course was later demolished by the government of Yakubu Gowon to make way for Tafawa Balewa Square. In its hey days, the course hosted the Empire Day parades. The horse racing track was about seven to eight furlongs or a mile. In 1960, the course was redeveloped to celebrate Nigeria's independence and the lowering of the union jack. Location TBS was constructed in 1972 over the site of a defunct track for horse racing. 45/57 Massey Bamgboshe Street on Lagos Island, Lagos It is bounded by Awolowo road, Cable Street, Force road, Catholic Mission street and the 26-storey independence building. Monuments The entrance to the square has gigantic sculptures of four white horses hovering above the gate and seven red eagles, which are symbols from the national emblem signifying Strength and Dignity respectively. Other monuments in the square include the Remembrance Arcade (with memorials to World War I, World War II and Nigerian Civil War victims) and the 26-storey Independence House, built in 1963 which was for a long time, the tallest building in Nigeria. Cricket ground The square has a capacity for 55,000 people. Facilities at the square include a shopping center, airlines ticketing agencies, restaurants, car parking and a bus terminal. The cricket ground, the Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval, is widely considered as the 'traditional home of cricket' in Nigeria. It hosted matches in the North-Western sub region of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament. The ground was closed for 18 months to complete a renovation from a concrete surface to 10-strip turf to meet the ICC standards. The renovation was completed in January 2022, following which the ground hosted its first international cricket matches in the 2022 Nigeria Invitational Women's T20I Tournament. Historical events Major national events at TBS includes Nigeria's independence celebration which took place on 1 October 1960 with the Prime Minister, Tafawa Balewa, delivering his speech.

The Lagos State Government hosted a Special Lagos Day during the 2024 edition of the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference. The event was held 27 August 2024. Environment and Climate The TBS which is a ceremonial ground in Nigeria have been faced with several environmental issues in the past years. The surrounding fence has been a dumpsite where refuse and other plastic are being deposited. There is also the issue of erosion in the region as a result of blocked drainage. As a result of the poor waste management in the area, the environment in the iconic square looks quite unkempt. References

Nike Art Gallery

Il Nike Art Gallery è un centro d'arte nigeriano che mette a disposizione laboratori e corsi di formazione gratuiti rivolti ad artisti e artigiani nigeriani. Storia La prima galleria è stata fondata nel 1983 a Osogbo per volontà dell'artista e filantropa Oyenike Monica Okundaye, con l'obiettivo di garantire una preparazione culturale e artistica ai giovani e senza l'aiuto del governo locale. Inizialmente la stessa Okundaye vendeva le proprie opere d'arte e organizzava seminari sull'arte. L'istituto comprendeva venti studentesse le quali non potevano permettersi altri studi per motivi economici o altri motivi di studi. Nel 1996 la Okundaye fonda un centro tessile dove operano circa duecento donne a Ogidi e nel 2002 è stato creato il "Art and Culture Research Center" ad Abuja, strutturato in un museo d'arte e un centro tessile. Questo locale è il primo in Nigeria a permettere l'uso di piattaforme di ricerca sulla tessitura. Dopo alcuni ristrutturamenti, il centro di Lagos è il più grande dell'Africa Occidentale, edificato in quattro piani di struttura, poi aumentati a cinque con una collezione di circa otto mila opere di vari artisti nigeriani, inclusi dipinti e sculture. Inoltre, è diventato un sito turistico, riconosciuto non solo come centro d'arte, ma anche come esposizione permanente ed è anche una delle gallerie private più grandi nel territorio africano come afferma la CNN. Oyenike Monica Okundaye è tuttora la Direttrice Generale e l'Amministratore Delegato del Nike Center for Art and Culture, dal 1994 della "Nike Art Productions Limited", dal 2007 della "Nike Art Gallery Limited" e dallo stesso anno della "Nike Research Centre for Art and Culture Limited". Inoltre, è stata creata una fondazione a sostegno delle varie attività a cui collaborano varie personalità locali per la promozione del territorio locale. Il centro conta oltre 3000 giovani nigeriani che si sono specializzati in arte tessile, trovando nell'arte un mezzo di sostentamento. Grazie anche all'aiuto di questo centro, l'artista nigeriana è stata insignita di vari riconoscimenti. Struttura Il centro prevede vari laboratori, senza alcun piano di studio. Ci sono corsi di danza africana, pittura, musica e tessitura oltre che di mosaico, beadwork e batik. Tra le attività, vi è quella del laboratorio Batik, un workshop tipicamente africano. Il centro ammette attualmente studenti universitari provenienti da diverse università nigeriane per i programmi di formazione in disegno industriale con specializzazione tessile. Nel corso degli anni, il centro ha aperto la partecipazione anche a studenti provenienti da tutta Europa, Canada e Stati Uniti d'America.
