Lake Eleyele — Attraction in Oyo State

I was there to explore the wonders of Nature (water)

Eleyele lake is in Ibadan city which serves lots of multifunctional purpose ie

1.Boat ride(tour) 2.Transportation 3.Fishing 4.Source of water for Ibadan city water project

Location: once you get to Ibadan,board a bus/cab going to Eleyele then ask of Eleyele lake

Fee: It depends on the boat riders ,you will have to negotiate with them but it’s cheap

Other Attraction:Fish and palm wine are so cheap and if you love Fulani milk (you get to buy fura and Nono at an affordable price)

Recommendation : The government/the locals needs to develop healthy hygiene as the place looks unkept and dirty.

Common ! This place is a source of livelihood and income to people they should Atleast develop the place . A resort,swimming pool with a view of the lake or an aqua leisure will spice the place up.

Above all I enjoyed the boat ride and had a lovely time with the mind blowing view of Nature.

Kindly see...
