Ted Jefferies had the idea for, set up, built, and was the first director of, the Federal Institute of Industrial Research in Nigeria. It is located at Oshodi, which is close to Lagos Airport. This is an early picture. There is a link here to Margaret Jefferies' 1951 Nigeria Trip diary, which predates this picture and the building of the institute, by several years.
