Diaspora investors are revitalizing Lagos’ tourism sector with projects like Giwa Gardens Water Park, a flagship example of renewed confidence in Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration. This 12,100sqm water park in Sangotedo has attracted thousands of visitors, created jobs, and stimulated commercial activity along the Lekki-Epe corridor.
Giwa Gardens is West Africa’s largest water park by volume, offering world-class attractions like water slides, lazy rivers, and family pools. The park has become a popular destination for family vacations, school excursions, and corporate retreats, promoting domestic tourism and national unity.
The Lagos State government has prioritized investor engagement, policy clarity, and infrastructure renewal to attract local and diaspora participation in the entertainment and leisure economy. This partnership-driven model has repositioned Lagos as a viable global leisure destination.
Giwa Gardens has also introduced package deals and loyalty programs to make repeated visits more affordable, further promoting domestic tourism. The park’s management is exploring eco-friendly initiatives and partnerships with local artists, food vendors, and event organizers to host cultural festivals and concerts.
