A section of the Lagos Airport Hotel on Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja, was gutted by fire on Monday, destroying no fewer than three halls, two rooms and other valuables worth millions of naira.


It was learnt that the inferno resulted from a surge in the electrical installations at a section of the banquet hall around 5am before it extended to other parts of the hotel.


The intervention of officials of the Lagos State Fire Service and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency prevented the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings.



“With the quick response from all emergency agencies, we were able to salvage the situation.


“The fire was serious and property worth millions of naira was destroyed. But no life was lost and nobody was injured,” an official of LASEMA said

It will have been better for the whole hotel to burn down!!!
Lagos Airport Hotel has become a monumental eyesore. Its past glory has since departed it save for its Olympic-size swimming pool.

It will have been an opportunity to turn it to a great 3-4 star hotel it used to be.

Note that this hotel is under the Oodua Group. A conglomerate formed during the days of the western region by Ogun, Oyo, Osun , Ondo and Ekiti states as a regional development plan.
The aim was laudable and great but the ideology, political leaning and poor management killed their ambition and objectives. Nepotism and politics overtook the management of the companies.

it set up the National Bank of Nigeria, Wema Bank, the Nigeria General Insurance Company, Great Nigeria Insurance Company, GravilEnthoven and Company, Lagos Airport Hotel, Vegetables oil, Cocoa Industries, Odu’a textiles, Wrought Iron Ltd, Union Beverages Ltd, Sungas Company, Wemabod Estates, Western Livestock, Fisheries Services Ltd, Caxton Press, Epe Plywood, Askar Paints, Nigerian Crafts and Bags Ltd, Nipol Plastics, Phoenix Motors and several others. They held various portfolio most of which are now moribund.
