The Fish Statue, officially referred to as The Fish, Epe, is a sculpture of two giant fish, erected at Lekki-Epe T-Junction in Epe, Lagos by the Lagos State Government.[1][2] The sculpture is mounted on a large rectangular plinth with the word "EPE" on its side.[3]

Unveiled on November 8, 2017 by the then Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode,[4] the sculptor Hamza Attah cited cultural significance of Epe as a home of fishing activities and that the Monument portrayed contemporary Epe as the export point for fish in Lagos, noting that fishing is the main occupation of indigenes.[5][6][7][3]
