The Location
Ibeju Lekki - Lagos NIGERIA
When it came to the careful consideration of where best to situate Africa’s specialist university for the creative arts, one location stood out above all others. The Lekki Peninsula in Lagos – an area undergoing major regeneration in order to transform the lives of the people and businesses located there, and therefore a natural fit with AUCA.
Now considered to be the second fastest growing city in Africa and the seventh fastest growing city in the world, Lagos is a vibrant hub of contemporary culture, history and heritage. As such it already has the infrastructure to cope with the influx of visitors from across Africa and beyond, including an extensive road, rail and ferry network and one of the largest airports in Africa – Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
