Standing tall above Ibadan’s brown roofs, Bowers Tower is one of the city’s oldest landmarks.
Built in 1936 in honor of Captain Robert Lister Bowers, a former Resident of the old Ibadan Province, the 60-foot tower sits on Oke Aare Hill, offering one of the best panoramic views of the city. From up here, you can see the endless stretch of Ibadan, a reminder of its history, growth, and cultural depth.
