Agodi Gardens brings Ibadan back to life

Entrance to the resort
From YINKA FABOWALE, Ibadan
  
It is one of the beautiful features of the modern face Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi has given the state capital, Ibadan.
From a derelict, weedy, marshy and abandoned grove, old Agodi Botanical Garden has come astir and a much sought-after haunt for fun-seekers, students and the middle class in the sprawling city. Thanks to a general facelift by the Ajimobi administration and a Nigerian firm, AM and Sea Ltd, with interests in the United Kingdom and South Africa.
