- In 1964, the company Pels & Zn. built a new four-manual organ for the cathedral of Lagos. Most of the pipes and three windchests of the previous instrument were re-used. The new specification was designed by Kenneth Jones and Ekundayo Phillips.
- The organ was in function until 2009, when it was replaced by a completely new Oberlinger organ.
