The Oldest Bookshop in Nigeria: CMS BOOKSHOP

The CMS Bookshop, established in 1869 by the Church Missionary Trust, is considered one of the oldest bookshops in Nigeria. Located at the intersection of Odunlami and Broad Street in Lagos, the bookshop has been a landmark in the city for over 150 years.

The image shows the bookshop's facade, which has maintained its historical charm despite the changing landscape around it. The building's architecture reflects the colonial era, with its distinctive arched windows and doors, and the signage prominently displaying the name "CMS Bookshop."

The CMS Bookshop has played a significant role in the educational and cultural development of Lagos and Nigeria as a whole. It has been a source of knowledge and literature for generations of Nigerians, providing access to books on various subjects, from history and literature to religion and philosophy.
