Upmarket residential properties continued to be built after the colonial period, and the Island and its Dodan Barracks became the residence of some of Nigeria’s military rulers. Ikoyi now contains many other government buildings as well as, businesses, hotels, schools, and the famous social club – Ikoyi Club 1938 and golf club – Ikoyi Golf Club.
