The one-storey building Fela built and lived until his death on August 2, 1997, will be turned to a museum.
The house, located at 18, Gbemisola Str., Ikeja, which is also the late Afro beat legend's final resting ground, will be called Kalakuta Museum and is scheduled for opening in October this year during the annual Felabrations event.
The Kalakuta Museum when completed is expected
to have an exhibition area, 5-room boutique hotel, a souvenir shop, a
bar and stage and a roof-top restaurant among other things.
The home is being turned to a museum
according to those behind it to preserve the history of an illustrious
son of Africa, promote tourism, acquire, display and preserve artifacts,
documents and records of the man referenced as well as those of his
contemporaries of African ancestry.
