In this post, I've put together a list of ten of the best event centres in Ibadan with prices, for those who need a venue for hosting a social function anytime soon.

Come rain, shine, recession, or everything all at once, nothing can separate Ibadan people (all Nigerians, if we're being honest), and their love for social events. Whether it's the weekend for the "owanbes' and corporate dinners or weekdays for the seminars and work conferences, something is just always happening in the city of brown roofs. It goes without saying, that for every occassion, there must be a venue.

Below are the top 10 events centres in Ibadan with prices as at 8 October 2022:

4. Emeritus Professor Theophilus Oladipo Ogunlesi Multi-purpose Hall

Emeritus Professor Theophilus Oladipo Ogunlesi Multi-purpose Hall

A bit of a mouth full, but Ogunlesi Multipurpose Hall certainly lives up to its name. It is located in a serene environment right opposite University College Hospital (UCH) main gate. The fully air-conditioned hall is very large and spacious, with an elevated stage so you can see what's going on clearly. It can sit over 2000 guests without having to shove anyone aside.

The parking space is more than enough, even if one person decides to bring two cars (kidding). However, the hall is a far walk from the gate, so a little weight might be lost in the process, but if you're in a vehicle, then all is fine. For further details, please visit the University College Hospital, UCH.
