Bodija

Bodija is a district in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

[1][2] The district gained prominence with the development of like-named highbrow, a leafy residential estate created by the Western Nigeria Region after the independence of Nigeria.

[3] Most of the early homeowners were expats, judges, professors and high-ranking civil servants.

The recent commercialization of the estate has resulted in the conversion of several of the residential buildings to offices and businesses.

An explosion occurred in Bodija on January 17, 2024, where two lives were lost and dozens injured.
