Nestled in Abeokuta, Olumo Rock isn’t just a towering geological formation. It’s a historical and cultural treasure that served as a natural fortress during 19th-century tribal conflicts. It holds deep spiritual and archaeological value, with ancient tools and relics unearthed on its surface, reinforcing its importance in Nigeria’s historical narrative.
Governor Abiodun emphasized that the complimentary access is meant to encourage residents and visitors to rediscover and embrace the heritage of Olumo Rock. The renovated complex now features a modern gallery showcasing notable Nigerians, a stylish gazebo, a restaurant offering both local and continental dishes, shops highlighting traditional adire fabrics, and upgraded facilities including elevators powered by a standby generator.
The free-access policy is part of the state’s broader strategy to position Olumo Rock as a world-class tourist destination, create jobs, attract investment, and deepen community pride—aligned with the administration’s ISEYA development agenda.
With September on the horizon, this is an ideal time to experience Olumo Rock in all its renewed glory—without the standard admission fee. Whether you're drawn to its breathtaking views, cultural resonance, or rich history, now is the moment. Just be sure to plan your visit before October rolls in!
