Agege bread is a sweet, yeasted white wheat bread originally from Agege in Lagos State, Nigeria. Agege bread is commonly baked in lidded rectangular metal pans, similar to a Pullman loaf. Agege bread spread in popularity from Agege to other parts of the country, where it is commonly sold by street vendors and in markets. The bread was introduced to Nigeria by Amos Stanley Wynter Shackleford, a Jamaican who migrated to Lagos in the 20th century. It was later revived in the 1960s by Alhaji Ayokunnu.
