About the venue

A magnificent edifice overlooking the Radio House, 'moulded' and lying in it's own lovely garden filled with historic shady pine trees and well paved driveway.

Once you step beyond the heavy metal and glass doors and walk into the foyer, outside of the very high ceiling and marble floor, you are lured to walk up either one of the well laid stair cases on both sides of you or to explore a hooded door way to your far right. Otherwise, walk straight across through the huge double doors in front of you into the main conference hall, the Africa Hall.
All these doors and stairways open up to the endless options of International Conference Centre.

Tourist Information

Nigeria is blessed with hundreds of miles of coastline, national parks and fascinating ancient sites. Nigeria's greatest asset is its wealth of native races and religions, its vibrant population. As the largest of any country in Africa, it is home to over 250 tribes, the principal groups being the Hausa in the north, the Ibo (or Igbo) in the southeast and the Yoruba in the southwest. The larger of the minor groups are the Fulani, Idoma, Igala, Igbirra, Kanuri, Tiv and Nupe in the north; the Efik, Ekoi, Ibibio and Ijaw in the east; and the Edo, Itsekiri, Ijaw and Urhobo in the west. A result of this ethnic variety is the diversity of art, dance forms, language, music, customs and crafts. Nigerians have a very strong sense of ethnic allegiance.
