An architect and filmmaker, Teju Ajayi, says that he is set to tell the story of Lagos in a forthcoming six-part documentary titled, ‘Discover Lagos’.
In a statement sent to Saturday Beats, Ajayi described the documentary as a groundbreaking project that aims to present the vibrant culture, rich history, and untold narratives of Lagos State, Nigeria through the unique perspectives of people in the Diaspora.
According to him, the series will delve into various facets of Lagos, including its historical significance, cultural landmarks, picturesque beachfront, and beach houses; as well as a showcase of thriving art galleries, an efficient transport system, bustling markets, and innovative modern developments.
He added that the series is a guide for Nigerians living in the Diaspora who yearn to reconnect with their Lagos roots and seek recommendations for leisurely visits.
