Gani Fawehinmi Park, formerly known asLiberty Park, is a public green space located inOjota,Lagos, Nigeria just by theLagos-Ibadan Expressway andIkorodu Road Interchange,Lagos. The park was built in honor of the Nigerian human rights activist and lawyerGani Fawehinmi to which a large statue of his was conspicuously placed in the middle of the garden. This statue measuring 44 feet tall was commissioned April 21, 2018[1] by the Lagos State Government. The garden also has little signposts that tell a brief story about his lifetime. Other sculptures, soft landscape and benches were incorporated to make the space attractive and befitting for relaxation and small events.
