Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has met with the 28-year-old travel enthusiast and content creator, Pelumi Nubi.
Pelumi Nubi and her mother were received by the governor at the Government House in Marina on Monday.
The governor was with some Commissioners and aides.
Nibi arrived in Lagos on Sunday bringing an end to her solo road trip.
That trip began in London 68 days ago.
She was well received at the Nigeria-Benin Republic border.
It was the Lagos State Government’s Commissioner of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Toke Benson-Awoyinka, along with the Special Adviser for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Idris Aregbe, who officially welcomed her on behalf of the state.
The Journey
The solo traveller embarked on her journey from London to Lagos on January 31, 2024.
She trumped through several obstacles, including a 24-hour delay at the Liberia border, denial of entry into Sierra Leone.
In fact, she even survived a severe accident in Liberia just a day after her arrival.
Starting her trip in England, Nubi passed through France and Spain, ventured into Morocco, across the expansive West Sahara Desert.
She continued through Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, and Benin before finally arriving in Lagos.

In 2022, the travel content creator, at age 27, documented her adventures in 77 countries, surpassing 80 of the world’s 193 nations.
