Independence Layout is a highbrow Suburb of Enugu. Located in Enugu North, Independence Layout, was carved out by the post-independence administration of the late Dr. Michael Okpara, the then premier of Eastern Region. Independence Layout was planned to accommodate the headquarters of the three arms of government viz the Executive, the Legislator, and the Judiciary. The official quarters of officers of these arms of government are also located here. The Government House, Enugu, popularly known as the Lion Building is synonymous with the name Independence Layout. With the exception of Chief Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, all governors, administrators (military and civilian) after Dr. Okpara occupied the Lion Building during their time.
