The IKORODU TOWNHALL masterpiece architecture was designed by the foremost architect in Africa, late Sir (Chief) Michael Olutusen Onafowokan, OON, while the land on which the hall was built was donated to the Ikorodu community by Chief J. M. Shonubi, popularly called ‘Owolowo’, the son of the first Iyalode of Ikorodu whose name ‘Owolowo’ is named after the Street that the Town Hall is located.

The edifice was completed early 1990s and commissioned by the then Military Governor of Lagos State, Col. Olagunsoye Oyinlola in 1994.

The initiative and construction started with the Ikorodu Students’ Association (ISA) under the leadership of Alhaji Rasaq Afolabi Solaja – Alagago with late Pa (Barr.) Samuel Falabake Ogbe as Secretary. Other prominent members of the ISU then were Chief Babatunde Olusola Benson, SAN, KJW, and Alhaji Chief A.R. Allison among others. The project was taken over around 1986, when the Ikorodu Division Resource Development Group (IDRDG) commissioned a study to ascertain why the construction was abandoned and eventually mobilized the entire Ikorodu community to complete it.
