As part of efforts aimed at bridging misinformation gap about Lagos history, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi (Kusenla III) of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom has decided to establish Centre for Lagos Studies at Lagos State University (LASU).

Speaking during a media parley in commemoration of the 13th year coronation and public presentation of the establishment of a research and history centre at LASU, the Aroba of Ikate Kingdom, Chief Olalekan Bakare, disclosed that the purpose-built centre was borne out of the need to have an institutional body that would serve as a research and reference centre for Lagos studies.

He said the Centre would also correct the erroneous viewpoint that “Lagos is no man’s land’ .”He argued this perception is a contradiction to the popular cliché among the indigenous elements of Gedegbel’Eko wa , insisting that the first assumption rests on a misconception rather than on facts of history.”

In 2010, he recalled Oba Elegushi was presented the Instrument of appointment, making him the 21st Elegushi and the 2nd King of Ikate-Elegushi kingdom, succeeding his father, Oba Yekini Adeniyi Elegushi .
