Historic buildings and constructions are an essential part of Nigeria’s cultural heritage – the project Nigeria. As symbols of the ingenuity of past generations, they hold architectural, cultural, and economic values. Thus, preserving them is the responsibility of our society, to pass them on to future generations.
As a country made up of people from various cultures, the diversity of Nigeria is evident in the buildings and monuments erected to represent our history over time.
With the continued growth of Nigeria’s construction industry and its contributions to the country’s rich culture, in years to come, buildings that are being erected today will form a part of our history.
As Nigeria marks her 62nd year as an Independent country, many of the stories that make this nation peculiar are tied to the buildings and builders of its past.
To celebrate these stories and bring them to the fore in the minds of Nigerians, over the next 30 days, we at Dutum Construction will bring you stories about the structures and the people who keep the country standing.
We invite you to join us on this journey of highlighting the significant contributions made by the construction industry to project Nigeria.
