The cost of construction was £24,000 and construction took four (4) years between 1925 and 1929. The foundation stone was laid in June 1925 by Capt. W. A. Ross
Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo state is rich in history, heroic tales of warriors and ancient architectures. When in Ibadan, make sure to add Mapo Hall to your must-visit list.
