The nerve centre, comprising of five concrete abstract columns sitting on concrete square slabs. Fifty fiberglass figures stand in tens on each of the columns. Each of the concrete pillars represents ten years of the official existence of Lagos all together making up fifty. The solid concrete base signifies the solid leadership in Lagos state. These bases support the pillars and the people on them as the government of Lagos state supports the state and its people in various ways.
The fifty figures depict the vast population in Lagos state as it also embraces and accommodates the largest and most diverse socio-cultural populace in Nigeria. The human figures are placed right at the top of the entire monument because the leadership of Lagos puts the people first.
