The King Jaja of Opobo Memorial is a bronze monument in memory of King Jaja of Opobo, erected by public subscription in 1903.[1] It was listed as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance by the National Commission for Museums and Monuments on 14 August 1959.[2]

Description

It is located within the Opobo town centre and bears an inscription in the English language, which reads:

A king in title and indeed.

Always just and ever generous.

Respected and revered in life.

Lamented and mourned by all when dead.

The statue stands on a grey granite plinth, surrounded by cast iron railings. The grass around is close-growing with neatly-cut edges, giving the dignified appearance of a public park.
