October 3, 2019 at 8:55 amI have been to the one in Abuja, and trust me it is nothing like that of Lagos. In Abuja, it’s more of a research centre and workshop area, with hostel for staff and student on-site. Nevertheless it unique in it’s own way – like the infinity garden right from the entrance to the main halls to the beautifully sculptures made from scrap metal.
Well, it’s a sight to appreciate for the art lovers.
