Presidential Lodge

The Presidential Lodge also known as State House Marina, is a public building that served as the former presidential palace of the President of Nigeria, located at the Marina in Lagos, Nigeria.

History
It was constructed during the British colonial time in 1896. The lodge was first occupied by Lord Lugard as the official residence and the office of the Governor of Nigeria in 1914. At the time, it was known as Government House. Since then, it has housed several Presidents and Military Heads of State.

After the federal government moved to Abuja in 1991 the palace lost its function as the new seat of the president became Aso Villa.

Transfer to Lagos State
The former residence was handed over to the Government of Lagos State in 2017.
