Did you know that Nigeria's first storey building is located in Badagry, Lagos State?

Built in 1845 by Methodist missionaries, this historic landmark served as a school, hospital, and even a refuge during the Yoruba wars!

Today, it stands as a museum, showcasing Nigeria's rich history and cultural heritage!
