The Federal Government has issued warnings to Property developers and other Nigerians against encroaching on national monuments in the country.
The Director-General of the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, Prof. Abba Isa Tijani, gave the warning in an interview, noting that many communities were unaware of the values and importance of museums and monuments in the country. He cited the Kano City Wall which is a national monument, "70% of that place has completely been encroached on and destroyed. New structures are being constructed in those areas," he said. He added that many foreign countries had started, through the commission, returning artifacts stolen from the country’s museums in the past.
