Serene environment with relaxation joints and hotel resorts around the city. Good for residential purposes.

HELPFUL REPORT

If you are looking for a less expensive accommodation this is a good place. The road network is good except for the interiors. There are solar powered street lights along the roads and government pipe-borne water available 24/7. These make this community your best choice.

Akure, a city in Ondo State, Nigeria, is often called “the City for the Retired” because of its serenity. Unlike other cities in Nigeria, it has a calm atmosphere. Contrary to the popular opinion, Akure is not a “village” but a well-developed city. Funny enough, the popular shopping mall called “Shoprite” is in my city.
