Welcome to Lagos
''Welcome to Lagos'' (Yoruba: ''Agba Meta'' or ''Aro Meta'') is an Art Deco statue of three Lagos white-cap chiefs in Lagos. Designed by Bodun Shodeinde in 1991 and standing over 12 ft high, the sculpted three chiefs was built to welcome people coming into Lagos State.
==History==
''Welcome to Lagos'' was originally built in 1991 by Bodun Shodeinde under the administration of Colonel Raji Rasaki and was placed along the Lagos–Ibadan toll gate. Due to insinuations that the statue was the cause of the regular occurrence of road accidents along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, it was burnt down by some persons in 2004.
On 17 December 2004, it was rehabilited and moved to its present location along Epe. In 2012, the statue was rehabilited for the third time after it was burnt during the "fuel subsidy saga".
