Bowers tower

The view from atop the tower is beautiful. You can see almost all the land marks in Ibadan from coco house to the stadium, uch to the governors office, if you look well. It’ll be great if it was paid more attention to by the government and revamped. It can be a beautiful tourist attraction

My visit to the place was revealing. The place is a good tourist centre, the government both state and federal are not maintaining the place, not to talk of improvement. You can view the brown roofs of the ancient Ibadan city and good aerial view of the metropolis. It's the 'Layipo' peculiar to Ibadan. The place was built by the colonial masters and was named in the name of Sir. Bower, the colonial master at the time.

It's unfortunate we have allowed the potentials of this historical monument untapped. It can be a money spinner, apart from social and aesthetic benefits.

The government can collaborate with the willing private and corporate bodies to preserve and upgrade the monument. Nice and interesting to be there.

It's a nice place ,I enjoyed the view from the top of the tower.

I was a little worried if the stairs would hold ,but damn those things are built solid.

It has a lot of potential if the place is properly taken care of .

Getting to see Ibadan Layipo is one of the highlights of this December. However,Theresa need for the Govt to partner with a private organization to make it a major tourist attraction. There are beautiful stories and history attached to the bowers tower.

It's located on the hill... At Oke Are area of Ibadan... If you plan to visit Ibadan ensure you visit this tower... With it you can assume to have visited the whole of Ibadan cos from the tower you can view Ibadan north east west and south.... The only things is that the place needs refurbishment... I hope the government can look into it...it's a tourist site can can earn the government millions if only they can renovate the place and make it alot more attractive... Overall I enjoyed the view and the quietness of the environment... Good place to seat and read with zero disturbance...

If only govt can take good care of the environment. It is a very cool place to be. The road leading to the place is also very bad. It should be revamped and it will also serve as a source of revenue too. Nice place to hangout with loved ones actually.

You can see the whole Ibadan landscape from this impressive height.
Although more could be done in way of maintaining this historical site.
