What We Do
At VHI, we are committed to preserving Nigeria's cultural heritage through a holistic approach
Our foremost objective is to protect and manage Nigeria's heritage sites, ensuring their preservation and sustainability. We collaborate with local communities, government agencies, and international organizations to develop comprehensive conservation plans and implement effective management strategies.
We believe that education and awareness are essential for fostering a culture of heritage preservation. Through outreach programs, workshops, and educational initiatives, we strive to raise awareness about the importance of Nigeria's cultural heritage, inspiring pride and ownership among communities.
Empowering local stakeholders and communities is integral to our mission. We conduct training programs, workshops, and skill-building sessions to equip individuals and organizations with the knowledge and tools necessary for effective heritage conservation and management.
We are dedicated to restoring and revitalizing Nigeria's architectural treasures, preserving their historical and cultural significance. Our team of architects, engineers, and heritage experts employ traditional techniques and innovative approaches to ensure the authenticity and integrity of heritage structures.
Sustainable management of cultural landscapes is essential for their long-term preservation. We develop comprehensive plans for the sustainable use and management of Nigeria's cultural landscapes, balancing conservation with socio-economic development.
Documenting Nigeria's architectural heritage is crucial for future research, conservation, and interpretation. We conduct thorough documentation and recording of heritage structures, creating invaluable records for researchers, policymakers, and conservationists.
Advocating for the recognition and inscription of Nigeria's significant cultural sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List is a key objective. We work closely with government authorities and international partners to nominate and promote Nigeria's outstanding heritage sites on the global stage.
