File:Bower's Tower 02.jpg

The tower is 60 feet high and 11 feet square with two entrances and a spiral staircase that leads to the top of the tower. From the summit of the tower, you can see Ibadan round about sprawling before you and appreciate the pre-historicity of the town. The Bower Tower is a place to check out if you vist Ibadan.

The monument was erected in 1836 as a memorial to Captain Robert Lister Bower, the first British resident in Ibadan and the Travelling Commissioner for the interior of Yoruba land (as the stiffly officious British termed his office), Southwestern Nigeria between 1893 and 1897.

You can see the Lagos-Ibadan toll gate as well as Ife- Ilesha toll gate from the top of the Tower. You can also see the whole of UCH, University of Ibadan, the Polytechnic of Ibadan, the Adamasinga stadium and also the colourful brown metal roofs which covers a higher percentage of the buildings in the city.
