Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria, History

Adeola writes about the rise and fall of Festac town in Nigeria [1]: “This year 2007 marks the 30th Anniversary of Festac Town as a residential area. Festac is still one of the largest residential estates south of Saharan Africa. When I started living in Festac Town in 1977 with the rest of my family, I was only 5 years old.”
