These high-rise building are some of the most recognizable landmarks across the countries. They represent the tallest pieces of architecture across the country. These skyscrapers are often monuments or symbols of wealth and power; but essentially, they are simply tools to provide more space by putting people above the noise and traffic on the city’s streets below. One of the earliest high-rise buildings in Nigeria is the Independence House, a 25-storey office building,  located west of Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan Lagos. The project was commissioned by the British government as a testimonial to and as a good will support to Nigeria’s independence in 1960.
