The Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC), a nature reserve in Lagos, has come under scrutiny following a viral video highlighting safety concerns at the facility. 

The video, posted in December 2023, sparked immediate action from authorities, resulting in the center’s temporary closure for extensive maintenance.

The video, shared by Chude Nnamdi, documented the visibly deteriorated condition of the centre’s canopy walk bridge, raising concerns about visitor safety. Nnamdi pointed out loose planks and unstable sections of the bridge, emphasising the potential risk of injury or worse for unsuspecting visitors.

“This is 49ft above the ground, not even the ground, a swamp,” Nnamdi stated in the video. “Look at this, I mean if anyone gets fall from here, God forbid what can happen.” 

In response, the Lagos Safety Commission and Lagos Ministry of Tourism swiftly moved to address the situation. A joint visit to the center by relevant officials, including the Director General of the Lagos Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola, and the Special Adviser on Tourism, Arts and Culture, Idris Aregbe, took place on Monday. They were accompanied by Dr. Onoja, the Director General of the Nigeria Conservation Foundation (NCF), which manages the center.

According to official statements, the issues raised in the video were promptly addressed in December 2023. However, as a precautionary measure, and to facilitate more comprehensive repairs, the center was closed to the public on January 16, 2024. The closure allows for thorough inspections and necessary repairs to ensure visitor safety once re-opened.

Dr. Onoja has assured full cooperation with the Lagos State Government throughout the maintenance process, with the shared goal of ensuring the centre’s long-term safety and viability. The Lagos Safety Commission and Lagos Ministry of Tourism have pledged to continue monitoring the situation closely, reiterating their commitment to public safety.

The Lekki Conservation Centre, established in 1990, plays a key role in preserving biodiversity and providing natural recreation within the city of Lagos. Its 78 hectares of green space offer a haven for numerous plant and animal species, while also serving as a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and tourists.

However, the recent incident raises concerns about the centre’s ability to fulfill its intended purpose if maintenance and safety standards are not consistently upheld. Moving forward, ensuring proper upkeep and addressing critical repairs will be essential to safeguarding the well-being of both visitors and the ecosystem the centre aims to protect.

The estimated re-opening date of the Lekki Conservation Centre has been stated to be on Thursday, February 1.
